Work in the Gig Economy (State of the Art in Business Research)

Throughout the last decade, the ‘gig economy’ has emerged as one of the most significant developments in the world of work. As a novel, hyper-flexible form of labour, gig work features a uniquely fragmented working arrangement wherein independent workers partner with digital platform organisations to provide a range of on-demand services to customers. 
Work in the Gig Economy: A Research Overview provides a concise overview to the key themes and debate that encompass the gig economy literature. It covers five core themes: an introduction to gig work; classification issues; the role of technology; the experiences of gig workers; and the future of gig work. As an emerging and diverse research field, contributions stem from an array of perspectives including psychology, sociology, human resource management, legal studies, and technology management. The chapters synthesise the most prominent insights into this emerging field, key thinking on the complex relationships and conditions found in gig work, and the most significant issues to be addressed as the gig economy continues to develop. 
A critical introduction for students, scholars and reflective professionals and policymakers, this book provides much needed direction through the rapidly growing and expansive body of research on work in the gig economy.

The book ‘The Driving Instructor Business’ presented by 'It’s a Drivers World' has been prepared primarily for the benefit of those people who are considering becoming a driving instructor and who have no experience of either that or indeed running a small business. However, it will be of great value to those trainee instructors who want to know more about the business they are getting into and who are not getting this guidance from their current trainers Indeed newly qualified instructors will find it of great benefit in helping them through the initial first twelve months or so especially if they have been abandoned to their fate by their trainers now that they have qualified. In keeping with one of the most well known maxims in the driving instructor business, “keep it short and simple”, it deals with all the essential facets of being a driving instructor without being too wordy or too heavy a read. In other words don’t overload the pupil with too much information which is irrelevant and which will probably be forgotten – get to the point in simple terms which will be readily understood and absorbed. This book sets out to do exactly that and covers such subjects as those listed inside. They are listed in no particular order and cover not just the actual business side of being a driving instructor, but include also background material on how to become one and the sort of knowledge and information you would be expected to acquire and pass on to your pupils.

This ‘Easy Lesson Plans’ book has been prepared primarily with trainee driving instructors in mind who are preparing for their A.D.I. part three ‘Test of Instructional Ability’.       However, it will be of great value to those trainees who want to refine their driving skills for the ‘Part Two Practical Test’.       Fully qualified instructors will find it invaluable when preparing for and undergoing their ‘Check Test’ and an essential aid when giving tuition to learner drivers.       It follows closely the requirements for A.D.I. training as laid down by the Driving Standards Agency who conduct all three relevant tests on the road to becoming a fully qualified driving instructor.        In its’ various sections it includes the following.  1. Twelve complete and fully colour illustrated lesson plans covering the twelve elements which can be tested on the A.D.I. part three ‘Test of Instructional Ability’. (They are also the basis for instruction for learner drivers).  2. How to get the best out of the Easy Lesson Plans book to ensure success in the various tests.  3. Over 150 fully detailed colour illustrations each of which focuses on a relevant issue and designed for ease of presentation to the learner driver.  4. Suggested phraseology which should be used by instructors to give clear and precise directions to their pupils thus avoiding incorrect responses and the dangers thereof.  5. A guide to the most commonly experienced driving faults committed by learners allowing instructors to be more aware of what to look out for.  6. A guide to signs of pupil nerves which when identified by the instructor allows a more sympathetic instructional approach when dealing with pupils who under achieve.  7.     A lesson plan guide with a breakdown of all the diagrams included in each lesson plan to enable instructors to easily locate specific diagrams and illustrate various points.        The lesson plans have been set out in a general logical order with a view to taking a pupil through from novice to test standard and beyond.         However, the order in which the plans are presented and indeed the subject matter contained therein should be adapted to meet specific pupil needs whether they be novice, part trained or fully trained and ready for the practical test.       Like any instructional manual of this type, the users should thoroughly familiarize themselves with its’ content and general layout in order to gain maximum benefit and avoid undue delay whilst giving instruction. Pupils and examiners in particular will not be impressed if valuable lesson time is wasted while the instructor is searching through its’ leaves.   “KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE”

This ‘Easy Lessons for Learner Drivers’ book has been prepared primarily to help learners follow a structured series of driving lessons in preparation for taking their practical driving test. It follows closely the requirements for driver training as laid down by the Driving Standards Agency who conduct all driving tests and have the key to your future on the road in their hands. In its’ various sections it includes the following. 1. Twelve complete and fully illustrated lesson plans covering the twelve elements which are assessed during your practical driving test. 2. A total of almost 150 fully detailed colour illustrations each of which focuses in detail on the subheadings in the various lesson plans. For the sake of conformity and clarification the blue car in every image is always the learner vehicle. 3. A guide to the most commonly experienced driving faults committed by learners allowing them to be more aware of the pitfalls and to help with self assessment. 4. A multiple choice Question & Answer section (complete with answers) enabling you to check just how much you have learned. The lesson plans have been set out in a general logical order with a view to taking you through from novice to test standard and beyond. However, the order in which the plans are presented and the subject matter contained therein should be adapted to meet your own needs. You may for example have already taken a number of lessons and are struggling in one particular area. Or you may indeed have already taken a test and failed on one or more of the specific elements. In either case a study of this book will undoubtedly help. This book is designed to help you understand what is expected of a learner driver and whilst it will be an invaluable asset in the learning process there is no substitute for practical driving lessons with a qualified instructor. A fully qualified instructor should by law display a green octagonal licence in the windscreen of the tuition vehicle to indicate he or she is a Driving Standards Agency approved instructor. So look for the licence badge before you take lessons and better still look for a driving school which uses the instructors’ version of this book so that you are both on the same wavelength. This book costs a fraction of a practical driving lesson, but it will be money well spent. You will learn quicker. You will need fewer lessons. It will save you money. Good luck with your lessons and Drive Safely.
