This book provides an overview of state-of-the-art research that has been conducted within Australia, funded by the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre. As Karl Weick once commented, emergency events do not 'play by the rules' and these research chapters tell us something about a potential future world of work that is highly dynamic, interdependent and for which improvisation and critical thinking and problem-solving are necessary pre-requisites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Owen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138071667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristine Owen is an established senior researcher with 20 years experience in investigating communication, coordination and collaborative practices in high-technology, high-intensity, high-reliability environments.
