Several new areas are explored relating to technology development in the human services; the emergence of new hybrid organisational forms; the notion of human service work as both knowledge work and 'emotional labour'; the issue of organisational ethics; exploration of concept of the learning organisation; and new methods for evaluating the organisational performance and social impact of human service organisations.
