This book addresses many unanswered questions concerning the nature of NER inside firms and both how these systems work ‘on paper’ and how they evolve and influence companies and employees over time. The quality of the authorship assembled here is second to none. This is a volume that will be used by students and talked about by employment researchers for many years to come. - Rafael Gomez, Associate Professor in Employment Relations and Human Resources, University of Toronto, Canada
