| Abstract: | Improving competitiveness without reducing wage standards is the concern of many industrialized countries. The authors consider the attibutes, achievements and failures of new work systems (lean production and high perfomance) and their skill needs, contrasting them with earlier systems. The typically partitative, autonomous yet highly interdependent work groups in high performance systems often hold requisite skills collectively; job rotation, cross-training and supportive personnel practices also occur. |
