MEN DO IT TOO - INGRID BIESE KARTONIERT (TB)

Men Do It Too: Opting Out and In offers a timely and comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon
of men leaving mainstream careers models  adding to current debates on opting out. The book
investigates how globalization  individualization  and this age of high modernity  in addition
to issues of masculinity and what it means to be a man in contemporary society and
organizational contexts  affect decisions to opt out. Throughout the book  social theory and
relevant debates are interwoven with the narratives of 15 men who have left successful careers
and mainstream career models to live and work on their own terms: six from the United States 
five from Finland  and four from the UK. The narratives help illustrate the issues presented 
as well as providing an insight into the men's identity work throughout their opting out
processes. In addition  Biese explores what organizations can learn from the knowledge gathered
in her research on men (and women) opting out. This is important in order to create sustainable
work environments that not only attract but also retain employees.
