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. 606 $aInformation services industry$xEmployees 606 $aSmall business 606 $aAge and employment 606 $aSex role in the work environment 606 $aWomen computer industry employees 606 $aCorporate culture 615 0$aInformation services industry$xEmployees. 615 0$aSmall business. 615 0$aAge and employment. 615 0$aSex role in the work environment. 615 0$aWomen computer industry employees. 615 0$aCorporate culture. 676 $a331.11/91004 701 $aMcMullin$b Julie Ann$f1965-$01870028 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953209003321 996 $aAge, gender, and work$94478348 997 $aUNINA
