This edited book focuses on the organization and meaning of craft work
in contemporary society. It considers the relationship between craft
and place and how this enables the construction of a meaningful
relationship with objects of production and consumption. The book
explores the significance of raw materials, the relationship between
the body, the crafted object and the mind, and the importance of
skill, knowledge and learning in the making process. Through this, it
raises important questions about the role of craft in facing future
challenges by challenging the logic of globalized production and
consumption. The Organization of Craft Work encompasses international
analyses from the United States, France, Italy, Australia, Canada, the
UK and Japan involving a diverse range of sectors, including brewing,
food and wine production, clothing and shoe making, and perfumery. The
book will be of interest to students and academic researchers in
organization studies, marketing and consumer behaviour, business
ethics, entrepreneurship, sociology of work, human resource
management, cultural studies, geography, and fashion and design. In
addition, the book will be of interest to practitioners and
organizations with an interest in the development and promotion of
craft work. Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a
