What role do human resource managers play in the processes of technical change in organizations? What opportunities or constraints are presented by different dimensions of technical change? How does technical change affect such issues as job design, supervision, total quality management, team-working, increased flexibility, skills training and employee involvement? In addressing these central themes and debates, this book provides a systematic analysis of the relations between technical change and human resource management (HRM). The contributors draw on research and case studies to clearly demonstrate that effective technical change in organizations is integrally related to effective HRM - as much by general and line managers as by specialist personnel managers.

Technical change is a fact of modern organizational life, inevitably impacting, to a greater or lesser extent, upon the management of human resources. This book provides the first systematic analysis of the relations between technical change and HRM. Introductory chapters overview the central themes and debates. For example, what role do human resource managers play in the processes of technical change in organizations? What opportunities or constraints are presented by different dimensions of technical change? How does technical change affect such issues as job design, supervision, total quality management, team-working, increased flexibility, skills training and employee involvement? Succeeding contributions develop these themes in more detail, drawing on research and case studies across a range of organizations. They clearly demonstrate that effective technical change in organizations is integrally related to effective human resource mangement - as much by general and line managers as by specialist personnel managers. The book concludes with a synthesis of practical implications, both for the management of human resources and the implementation of technical change. Human Resource Management and Technical Change is an important contribution to a key topic. It will be essential reading for students and professionals in HRM//personnel management, organizational behaviour, organizational change and development, industrial relations and general management studies.

Using a new framework based on production life-cycle models, Flynn examines the relationships between technology, job, and human resources. He presents life-cycle models for products, processes, and technologies and analyzes empirical evidence from case studies on the effects of technological change at the workplace. He demonstrates patterns in skill requirements, jobs, training needs, employer staffing practices and workers' career paths over the life cycle of a technology. Exploring the impact of technological change in the community, he discusses the technology-induced changes in skill requirements and training needs and breaks new ground in the debate on how best to develop high-technology training programs.

Technology in the world today has contributed to promote organisational competitiveness and national development. But most developing countries have not substantially benefited from science and technology, hence their underdevelopment and poverty. They could not harness and manage their scientific and technological innovations and use their human and material resources to meet basic needs of their people, reduce socio-economic inequalities, create employment opportunities and improve national security. The achievement of these is considered in this book to be dependent on provisions of conducive environments for effective human resource management for scientific and technological innovations. Human resource management concepts and practices were used to evolve frameworks and processes for the generation, acquisition, adoption, and transfer of technology, depending on the objectives of different countries and organisations.
