- Summary:
-
Focusing on the social aspects of new technologies, this report presents the conclusions drawn and recommendations made by a group of individual experts with wide experience in industry, labor relations, academia, or public service, who were charged with examining the potential importance of the new technologies for growth, jobs, and welfare, and reporting on their national and international implications both for employment and for society. The report examines nine complex and controversial issues dealing with technological change as a social process: (1) the need for a socioeconomic strategy for new technologies; (2) elements of the strategy; (3) flexibility in the enterprise; (4) a responsive education system; (5) the creation of more opportunities; (6) increasing the flow of investment; (7) expanding the markets--international aspects of the strategy; (8) a new pattern of research, development, and design; and (9) the role of constructive technology assessment. Discussions of these issues take into account economic as well as social and human factors, and pay attention to the increasingly interdependent nature of the global economy in terms of dealing with policy issues. Following the analysis of each issue a unanimously agreed upon recommendation is offered. These recommendations call for action by a wider range of governmental and non-governmental groups, including policy makers and other authorities. (CGD)
