However, the fast pace of technological innovation, globalization, and the volatile stock market have made IT an increasingly risky business - for some employees more than for others. This volume examines how women and older workers in small IT companies are disproportionately vulnerable to economic uncertainty within their industry. Drawing on original survey and interview data, the authors explore how gender and age affect work and workplace culture to produce a fresh contribution to the literature on inequality.Information services industryEmployeesSmall businessAge and employmentSex role in the work environmentWomen computer industry employeesCorporate cultureInformation services industryEmployees.Small business.Age and employment.Sex role in the work environment.Women computer industry employees.Corporate culture.331.11/91004McMullin Julie Ann1965-1870028MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953209003321Age, gender, and work4478348UNINA
