| Synopsis: |
Training and the development of human resources are now seen as important aspects of company performance and national competitiveness. Managers and policy makers look to the experiences and practices that exist in other countries and in particular their methods for adopting new technology. However, there have been few comparative studies of different national training systems. This book deals with the relationship between industrial training and technological innovation in three major western economies - Britain, the US, and Japan. By looking at the origins and development of training in these countries, the book analyses the benefits resulting from the interaction of a skilled workforce and technological change. It uses new empirical material and case studies to show how training at various levels - managerial, technical, manual - is an essential prerequisite for successful innovation and economic performance. This collection should be of interest to all concerned with historical and contemporary aspects of industrial training and technological innovation. |
