À propos de la quatrième de couverture

`Jon Clark's book, where the relationship between technology and man is explored, looks at just one establishment, Pirelli General's Aberdare suite. An extremely well-written sociological account of more than 10 years of massive technological, human resource and competitive change in one factory, it analyses the impact of automation and its implications for the workforce and the future of organisational life. It covers the conflicts, the decision-making processes, the failures and successes of this venture, in a narrative form that makes a cogent case study of green- and brown-field development in the automated factory of the future.... also a good practice example of technological innovation and creative human-resource management - Times Higher Educational Supplement
