The competitiveness of European companies is largely dependant on their ability to adapt to new social and technical innovations. This often involves major realignments of their business ideas, work organisation and technology, and also requires the development of new competencies on the part of production personnel. This book examines the processes which take place within companies undergoing such realignments. It provides a frame of reference for evaluating the character, depth and stability of the changes taking place, and the nature of the new competencies which emerge. This framework offers a tool which management and unions can utilise when dealing with these issues in real life. The application of this framework is illustrated by eleven case studies based on manufacturing and process industry companies from different European countries.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - European competitiveness in a global perspective is a major issue on the agenda of the European Union and European industry. The question of competitiveness is often re lated to continual technological change and changing work structures to create more flexible and adaptive work places. But these changes are in themselves insufficient to meet the demands of a turbulent business environment, if they are not brought about in close relationship with and anchored to the development of the human resource poten tial. Technological innovation and modern post-Tayloristic work structures place new demands on workers. Workers' abilities and competencies must be raised in virtually every sphere - in what are termed the new key/core competencies related to knowl edge and cognitive skills, social skills, general and work related personality character istics together with a high level of technological ability. At the same time, to make optimal use of the human potential, the way in which work is organised and accord ingly the way in which people are managed, must allow workers to develop and use the required competencies. An integrated Human Resource Development approach is needed in which workers abilities and competencies take a central place. European competitiveness, from this perspective, implies a strategic choice by European compa nies and policy makers to invest in people and their (potential) abilities. Codice articolo 9783540199724
