| Abstract: | Skills shortages and training problems are forgotten by many companies when they adopt new technology. 52 engineering firms in a "traditional" industry in a single local labour market were interviewed to examine their attitudes to new technology and the skills and training implications of technology adoption. Skills and training issues were often forgotten or misjudged during the new technology appraisal process. Most firms adopted a short term response to skills shortages. |
