Workplace Health: the Injuries of Neoliberalism

edited by Toni Schofield, The University of Sydney
ISBN 0-9750436-4-1; iv + 92 pages; softcover, August 2005

Neoliberal policy is characterised by the retreat of business and governments from ensuring that workplaces do not kill or maim workers. Injury management schemes now also fail to recognise injured workers as citizens with rights to dignified, compassionate and appropriate treatment. Examining on-going industrial relations reforms, this book identifies strategies to address the injurious effects of neo-liberal governance and management, through collective industrial and political action.

Organizational Jazz: Extraordinary Performance through Extraordinary Leadership

by David Napoli, Alma M. Whiteley and Kathrine S. Johansen
ISBN 0-97557710-6-X; xiii + 252 pages; softcover; October 2005

Myths that we operate in certain and predictable worlds, and that mankind can control its environment, do not help us to build productive, satisfying and sustainable organizations. Constant, rapid and unpredictable changes, both internal and external, are challenging the time-honoured business models we are taught to follow - as we strive to manage our complex, evolving organizations. Drawing on the science of complex adaptive systems, with numerous original case studies and a hands-on workshop, this book offers a lens through which we search for new ways of thinking about, and working with our unpredictable world by placing people at the centre of organizations to create wealth and human dignity.
