New Technologies and Work : Capitalist and Socialist Perspectives, Hardback Book

New Technologies and Work : Capitalist and Socialist Perspectives Hardback

Edited by Arthur Francis, Peter Grootings

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Economics and Business of Technology series

Hardback

Description

Originally published in 1989 this book is a valuable contribution to the development of a non-technological approach in the study of technology and work.

The studies compare the introduction and implementation of new technology at work in similar enterprises throughout Europe.

The contributors share the basic assumption that the impact of technology varies greatly according to the characteristics of the country and its socioeconomic system.

They view changes in work as the result of the complex combinations and interactions of such conditions and technology, rather than of technology per se, and their focus is therefore on the mechanisms and processes which come into play when new technology is being introduced.

The book's international scope makes it a rich empirical source of comparative material.
