Abstract

New technical innovations in the form of new production technologies are known to affect productivity, but organisational innovations and new ways of designing products have now been found to have a profound influence on productivity. These innovations have moved the industrialised countries into a stage in which industrial growth is accompanied by a continuous reduction in industrial employment This development will greatly influence our society and put stringent demands on our political decision-making apparatus to avoid a growth in the ‘wealth of nations’ going hand-in-hand with a growth in poverty.
