In an Outpost of the Global Economy: Work and Workers in India's Information Technology Industry

"The major themes of this volume are how cultures at work and beyond the workplace are mutually constituted and imbricated in one another, and the diverse ways in which the 'global' is instantiated in the 'local' in the context of hi-tech led globalisation in India. This study makes a significant contribution to the sociology of work and industry in India, and more broadly to the anthropological and sociological literature on globalisation." "The book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of sociology, anthropology, management, labour studies, information technology, and business and organisation studies, apart from the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
