Evolution, Revolution and Manpower Adjustments

Stephen G. Peitchinis

Chapter 2 in Computer Technology and Employment, 1983, pp 18-36 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract References to on-going or pending technological revolutions, and to ongoing and pending microelectronic, telematic or whatever electronic revolutions, are intended to draw attention not so much to the technologies themselves, as to their potential for revolutionary consequences for work, working, worker-employer relationships, the organisation of processes of production, and generally for the nature and structure of social and economic existence. It is analogous to a political revolution where the government is the instrument, and the revolutionary changes are the changes in established economic, political and social relationships.
