Abstract

New technology frequently has an influence on the nature of flexibility and working practices present in the workplace, and is sometimes introduced at least in part to encourage some desirable change in labor flexibility. This research article suggests that a number of factors other than the technology itself can play an important role in determining the results of new technology implementation on these key areas. Any attempt to asses the impact of new technology must first take into account of the circumstances of the workforce, company and industry into which it is being introduced. This is important not only for the researcher seeking to understand how technology has affected the company under study, but also for the management concerned. Any management considering the implementation of new technology must from the outset have a very clear vision of what they hope to achieve by its introduction.
