The Utilization of Contingent Work, Knowledge Creation, and Competitive Advantage
探讨了临时工在动态环境中如何帮助企业积累和创造知识，进而建立竞争优势，对管理者理解灵活用工的战略价值有参考意义。
Contingent work is an increasingly integral part of the world of work, affecting firms' abilities to accumulate knowledge, create value, and establish competitive advantage. Although its growing use reflects a belief that firms can reduce cost structures and increase strategic flexibility, we suggest that in certain contexts, such as dynamic environments, contingent work can be a means of accumulating and creating valuable knowledge. We also discuss implications for other forms of permeable organizational boundaries.
