Summary
  1. "Large publicly traded corporations have been the dominant organizational form in the U.S. economy throughout most of the twentieth century. Today this organizational form appears to be undergoing substantial changes, and its dominance in the economy is being challenged by a variety of alternative forms, including partnerships, closely held corporations, joint ventures, venture capital firms, and virtual organizations."
  2. "The essays in this book quantify the degree to which job stability is declining and the costs of job loss to long-term workers; provide historical perspective on today's workplace changes; explore the reasons why work is being reorganized; examine equity-based compensation systems; and assess the "state of the art" of measuring and accounting for investments in human capital."--Jacket.
