Training as a human resource strategy
The research paper, Training as a human resource strategy: The response to staff shortages and technological change, is now available. The paper examines the ways that innovation and technology use affect the training activities of manufacturing plants. It examines training that is introduced as a response to specific skill shortages versus training that is implemented in response to the introduction of advanced equipment. The study finds that plants that use advanced technology are more likely to have workers in highly skilled occupations, to face greater shortages for these workers, and to train workers in response to these shortages than are plants that do not use advanced technologies.
