| Notes | ID: 8; While taking care not to "$seek to deny that any of the concepts of flexible working may be truly valid and applicable"$ Cairns and Beech do highlight the advocacy bias in many speeches and presentations on the subject and the view (expressed on occassion in other fields of managerial research) that new work practices might actually be used to exert greater control and increasingly marginalise workers other, perhaps, than core knowledge professionals. The paper is not aimed at the practitioner; save to the extent that it trys to point out the potential bias in supposededly independent research in the area. It is a call to the FM research community for greater rigour and less introspection.$$ $$; RP: NOT IN FILE |
