Technology and Human Resources in Their National Context: A Study of Strategic Contrasts - Rebecca Harding Davis - Hardcover

This book is an examination of technology and human resource strategies in two large companies, Robert Bosch GmbH and Lucas Industries PLC, in a period of dramatic change in their technological, competitive and political environments. It provides an in-depth study of these two companies between 1989 and 1992 and compares and contrasts the approaches taken by each. The focus is on how the companies managed change and on how their strategies to deal with that change were supported by the national infrastructure of education and training, industrial relations and finance. Its thorough examination of two leading companies in the world automotive industry and its similarly detailed analysis of the German and British infrastructure provides some useful insights into the strategic management of new technology and work organizations as well as contributing to existing Anglo-German comparisons of industrial structure and performance.Davis, Rebecca Harding is the author of 'Technology and Human Resources in Their National Context: A Study of Strategic Contrasts - Rebecca Harding Davis - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781859721803 and ISBN 185972180X.
