The revolution in new technology gave rise to new work patterns and
improved productivity, all of which affect the management of human
resources. Expectations for increased efficiency have not always
been fulfilled because of the problems that have arisen in workings
of labour relations. How can management maximize the benefits of
these technologies while co-operating with their employees? How far
are trade unions involved in the decisions as companies adopt new
technology? Is the workforce consulted in systems design? This
book, originally published in 1992 looks at the problems of
developing strategies in information technology when considering
labour relations. Experts in industrial sociology, human resource
management and organizational behaviour assess the achievements and
failures, including consideration of issues such as public sector
work, gender and race. Drawing on empirical evidence, the
contributors cover a wide range of industries including case
studies in electronics and banking, together with international
comparisons.
First published in 1989. In the decade before this book was
originally published, employee share ownership and profit sharing
had increased markedly as successive governments introduced fiscal
legislation promoting their uses. Yet how successful had 'people's
capitalism' been? The Glasgow study was a major empirical
investigation into this issue and was a response to the need for an
independent assessment. It discusses how attitudes to ownership had
changed and how these, in turn, related to attitudes to work. It
also addresses the implications of profit sharing and employee
share ownership for industrial relations both for individual
companies and at a national level.
