Job Strategy

Almost one in four American working adults has a job that pays less than a living wage. Conventional wisdom says that’s how the world has to work.

But in The Good Jobs Strategy, Zeynep Ton, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, makes the compelling case that even in low-cost settings, leaving employees behind - with bad jobs - is a choice, not a necessity.

In Executive Job Offer Forensics: Deep Dive Due Diligence, Jeff Altman, "The Big Game Hunter,...
