Abstract: New technical innovations in the form of new production technologies are known to affect productivity, but organisational innovations and new ways of designing products have now been found to have a profound influence on productivity. These innovations have moved the industrialised countries into a stage in which industrial growth is accompanied by a continuous reduction in industrial employment This development will greatly influence our society and put stringent demands on our political decision-making apparatus to avoid a growth in the ‘wealth of nations’ going hand-in-hand with a growth in poverty.
