Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Business consultant Bridges (Managing Transitions, Addison-Wesley, 1991) has written an engaging and challenging book outlining how the changing nature of work will dramatically alter how we do our jobs. He persuasively argues that the present information-based economy demands more flexible employment models than a manufacturing-based economy. Bridges states that the emerging economy will not require a set pattern of work from individuals (i.e., a job) but sets of complex tasks, requiring different sets of skills at different times. He uses highly detailed statistics to buttress his arguments. His book is especially strong on the psychological implications of the changing economy, though it might have benefited from charts and graphs illustrating employment trends, such as those used in William Johnston's Workforce 2000 (Hudson Institute, 1987). Recommended for general and business collections.

From Booklist
Forget Bolles' What Color Is Your Parachute? Ignore terms like r{‚}esum{‚}es and jobs. Because if consultant Bridges is right--and we more than suspect that he is--there's a brave new world of work waiting. About one-third of his book is spent persuading readers that jobs are disappearing for good; weekly statistics in the Wall Street Journal alone underscore that. The rest of his advice makes such good sense that every librarian, every career counselor, and every human resources executive needs to seriously consider promoting his teachings in some form. Will Americans listen? Maybe when the toll of downsizing and reengineering business doesn't stop. Practical and philosophical words of wisdom.
