- When talk of the 'microelectronics revolution' first mushroomed
in the late seventies, a number of research projects were funded
in the universities to examine its impact on various aspects
of our lives. This contemporary book disseminated some of the
findings to management, the trade unions, and all those concerned
with information technology in the workplace. It illustrates
the impact of changes in production processes in a number of
manufacturing industries, including CNC machine tools, CAD and
CAM systems, robotics, and computerised photo-composition. Managerial
decision making over technological innovation, the implications
for organisation structure, and manpower issues are all dealt
with in detail.
