Economis, In Networked Citizens

Technologies+ Labour Market = Social network + Organisational Thinking

In former days, people are tend to work on knowledge-based without bring into the play of technologies.
However, the society now has changed, change into a more flexible and responsive economy environment.
Indeed, tech-infused environment enabled the employment become extensive which involves the business and network relationship. 

Speaking of that, the business sectors or organizations nowadays are tend to utilize the power of networking to alter their management and also given them various problem solution in a fast velocity. In previous days, people could be more tense due to they have to solve the problem by thinking themselves only. By contrast, people now would just type the problem on the search engine, various solution are coming out on the page.

To be more specific, liquid labour is an unique standpoint on behalf of economies. What is actually liquid labour? To make it in a more simple way, labour is like a "liquid" which means people now are using information which can move freely to perform their work in a more flexible manner. According to the journal, Bradwell stated " a survey by the Creative Group of marketing and advertising executives in the US found that 57 per cent believe it is permissible for employees to browse non-work-related websites during business hours."

Relating back to the statement, employees nowadays could work leisurely by comparing to the previous days. For example, Facebook is the popular social networking site currently. Employees might log on to Facebook to interconnect with his/her friends during the working hour, in the same time they also can start on their business on Facebook by creating group. Thus, network has become the important ecology in the boundaries of labour market and organisations naturally.

What's more, people are tend to start to do business via social networking which is counted as an ideal workplace for them. The main reason would be it can cut down their costing. For example, they doesn't need to pay any money to open up a group on Facebook for the business purpose, naturally able to arise the people's curiousity towards the group and they will just come and join the group if they are interested.

To conclude, I think if the business sectors without the joint work of network, there must be a lot of problematic and the country will fall behind.

  1. I agreed with this sentences "in the same time they also can start on their business on Facebook by creating group.", it really truth, sometimes if a person social life is big, it can made the business become widely as well.Too bad that the boss always think that is not a good habit for employees mix up their social life with work. This is human being, everyone got their different needs, just like employee want a comfort and relax environment for work such as they can having their social life while working, in other part boss want the employee be professional and concentrate in work. Life always unbalance. Your blog is easier for me to read and understand. :)

  2. Indeed now the line of work and personal is gone huh. Facebook can be used at work and also personal entertainment. It's hard to know what purpose are you using for until you read the content of it isn't it?

    Nice equation used in the introductory part! Simple but just nice to explain everything. It's really clear to see without network the company now will be nothing. All connections will be gone too. It's just like the bridge for you connect to next successful dealt job.

  3. A simple and short post! You summarize the journal and explain everything in a simple way. It make me easy to understand! Nice job! I like the way you explain the liquid labor. Now I fully understand what liquid labor means.=)

    Its true that the employees will log in social network like Facebook on the working time, but then because of the convenience of network, people will bring back home their job and do it in non-working time. There are employees still working through their laptop or mobile phones when they are in holidays or vacation. There are many people work from home too and they will on Facebook or MSN in order to keep in touch with their collegue in office. So on social network and MSN is part of their job too. =)

  4. I agreed on the society now has changed into a more flexible and responsive economy environment. If it were to compare the working pattern old days with the working pattern now, there are actually becomeing mroe flexible and individualism in the sense of social+working=permitted! in old days, people will only work,work, and work and made them a tension day but now, beside than working,they might usiong other social networking tools to communicate that is related to work! thus, it creates an alternative way for worker to enjoy their work.
