Reviews
... this book provides a very useful evaluation of the rationale and ethos of management systems of self-surveillance. The authors raise important issues around the incompleteness of governmental relations. Not least, they ask why systems predicated on worker self-management fail, even in circumstances where local management retains a belief in manager-less systems. Douglas Martin, University of Central Lancashire, UK, Work employment and society
