Two steps forward : human-resource management in a high-tech world / edited by Gordon Betcherman, Keith Newton, and Joanne Godin.: EC22-169/1990E-PDF

"Two simple tenets are the motivation for this book. The first is that our economic future depends critically upon our capacity to innovate. The second is that innovation must be defined broadly enough to encompass more than just the kind of technological advance that is embodied in new machinery and equipment. Most importantly, it must encompassdevelopments in the enhancement of skills and know-how and in the organization and remuneration of work. Innovation in this broader sense is the essence of "working smarter" in the knowledge-based economies of the information age"--Overview, page [1].
