Written by three career experts, An Intelligent Career is a playbook for the modern knowledge worker, providing a complete guide that will allow workers to take a composite, dynamic view of a life's work in the 21st century. "Knowledge work" is fundamental in today's economy. It is the basis for long-term success in the global economy and it drives the collective brainpower through which goods and services are delivered. And today, knowledge work requires much more than a college degree: it means understanding the changing nature of work and employment, and the processes through which knowledge is generated, transferred, and applied. It means understanding new career possibilities, more dynamic work arrangements, and the growing demand for knowledge work around the globe. It means navigating work life with an authenticity that replaces any straightforward loyalty to a single employer, and instead calls for better understanding of the self, collaborators, clients, and customers. Now in paperback, An Intelligent Career provides clear guidance on how to take charge of your own destiny, seek continuous learning, collaborate with others, recognize and act on fresh opportunities, determine when it is time to move on, and much more.

Career Frontiers: New Conceptions of Working Lives

There are major shifts in career patterns and paths in the current climate of persistent and accelerating change. In this book leading researchers with a specialist interest in careers examine changing trends: what HR departments are doing, and how individuals may seek greater control over their careers.

Strategy Through People: Adaptation and Learning in the Small-Medium Enterprise

The authors offer a new approach to the study of business which weaves together the separate disciplines of corporate strategy, small/medium business growth and human resource management. It presents a combination of new case study research with discussions of the existing literature in the field. The unifying argument of the book centres around processes of adaptation, organizational learning and networks. By using small-medium firms to illustrate clearly the key debates regarding large firms, the authors have produced a new perspective on the strategy process, making explicit the link between the strategy process and the activities of people. The use of up-to-date, critical and stimulating case studies from the author's own empirical materials, and data from 20 firms studied, gives this book an authoritative and contemporary perspective on an important area of strategic development.

This book's unique perspective stems from its “knowledge diamond” framework to examine how individuals, communities, organizations and host industries reciprocally influence each other in the course of knowledge work.     This highly topical book focuses on work-based projects as a focus for organizational learning.  Establishes the link between individual, community, organization and industry learning.  Suggests that organizations need to recognise and understand this link if they are to capitalize on project-based learning.  Incorporates material on project-based learning in virtual communities.  Refers to different examples, such as the film industry, the software industry and the boat building industry.  Includes end-of-chapter questions provoking reflection and discussion.
