IJWI is a fully-refereed multi-disciplinary international dedicated to the study of work innovation. It proposes and fosters discussion on innovative work practices including new forms of work organisation (such as virtual teams, network organisations, teleworking, learning organisations, flexible and dispersed work, etc.) as well as the so-called innovative work practices and philosophy (such as knowledge management, teamwork, lean management, project-based work, outsourcing, etc.).

 Go Top  Objectives

The objective of IJWI is to discuss and disseminate the implications of innovative work practices on individuals, organisations, businesses and societies. Also, contributions aiming at questioning the necessity to transform current work practices take a front rank in IJWI; it is therefore the intention to produce knowledge simultaneously for and on work innovation management.

IJWI provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers working in the field of new working practices to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
