In Search of Work was published in 1987, based on an extensive, international research project for the Financial Times into the future of work. Based on interviews and case studies with a clutch of international companies, including Hitachi, Ford and Barclays bank, it predicted the shift to more flexible forms of work,  networked forms of organisation and global supply chains.
