Chapter Chapter 1 in Digital Technology, Algorithmic Governance and Workplace Democracy, 2025, pp 1-30 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Algorithmic management and AI-driven technologies in the workplace are impacting workers’ abilities to influence their work conditions, while altering the balance of power between employers and employees within the workplace. This observation serves as a starting point for this edited volume, and in this chapter, we introduce some of the key concepts that readers will meet across this book: algorithmic governance, social dialogue and workplace democracy, emphasizing in particular the terminology of the Nordic model which is fundamental to the understanding of the Norwegian context in particular, while linking the ongoing academic discussions about algorithmic governance and management more directly to questions of power within the workplace and social dialogue. We also briefly summarize each chapter in this volume.
