Abstract

This book brings together a set of essays exploring the implications of new technologies in the workplace. The common premise of the contributions is that the effective implementation of automation in manufacturing and engineering operations will typically require a workforce with a higher skill profile. Examining the experience of countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the U.S., the book analyzes four themes: the new competencies required for effective implementation of new technologies; how firms can develop these new competencies; the implications of these changes for industrial relation

Abstract

For those who lived through it, Britain's Industrial Revolution was experienced as the Machinery Question. It was far from clear to contemporaries whether the first forms of mechanized factory production heralded an inevitable economic revolution, or were but one course among several which might be modified or eventually rejected altogether, Opinion about the necessity or beneficence of machines was profoundly divided at all levels of society; the often acrimonious debate that arose reverberated through economic, political, cultural and intellectual life. Crucially important for the development of this debate, because it was the source of the very terms of discussion, was the new discipline of Political Economy. The major contention of this book is that the Machinery Question was also the making of Political Economy. Dr Berg argues that technical change was one of the foremost theoretical concerns of Ricardo and his successors, and the foundation for their distinctly optimistic view of the future. She shows how the Machinery Question fostered the social conditions in which the status of Political Economy as a discipline was established, and concludes that by the 1840s the divisions over machinery were firmly embedded in the great rival creeds of the future, liberalism and socialism. The book will interest teachers and students of British social and economic history, the history of economic thought and the history of science and technology.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage présente une approche anthropologique des transferts de technologies qui relève d'une trajectoire entièrement originale où l'anthropologie des techniques se combine à l'analyse ergonomique du travail pour répondre à ce que l'on nomme classiquement une « demande sociale ». Sur le littoral de Guinée, les populations susu utilisent traditionnellement d'importantes quantités de bois pour produire du sel. Ces techniques contribuent la déforestation des zones de mangrove. Depuis plusieurs années, des actions sont engagées pour prévenir ce phénomène. Beaucoup ont échoué faute de tenir compte des pratiques des populations dans leur environnement. Un programme s'est démarqué des actions précédentes. Il proposait de transférer des modules de production de sel qui ne nécessitent aucune utilisation de bois. Pour les concepteurs du projet, le succès du transfert de l'innovation était étroitement dépendant des dimensions sociales et culturelles des populations. L'auteur nous fait entrer au cœur du transfert. On découvre les univers respectifs des hommes, le rôle de l'histoire et les oppositions d'intérêts. Au fil des pages, d'étonnants réseaux d'acteurs apparaissent. L'implication de l'ethnologue est au centre de l'ouvrage. On parcourt les phases de son action, de l'analyse de la demande à la présentation des résultats qui ont orienté les acteurs du programme vers la mise en œuvre de choix techniques mieux adaptés aux dimensions sociales et culturelles des contextes de réception. Le lecteur trouvera dans cet ouvrage des éléments de méthode qui devraient alimente! les débats sur l'intégration et le rôle des sciences sociales dans le cadre des transferts de technologies.
