Description

Today’s organisations find themselves in a race to adopt new technologies in order to keep up with their competition. However, two questions must be answered: Are these organisations ready for new technological advancements, and are these new technologies appropriate for every organisation? Technological Challenges and Management: Matching Human and Business Needs focuses on the new advances and challenges that today’s organisations face in the areas of human resources and business, resulting from continuous and highly complex changes in technological resources.

Organisations need to implement a more proactive and flexible management, matching their human and business needs. Due to this reality, it is important to study and understand varied contributions made by researchers, academics, and practitioners in this field of study worldwide. With the focus on this reality, this book exchanges experiences and perspectives about the state of technological challenges and management research, and future directions for this field of study. It also takes into account the deep implications that these challenges have in the organisation of human resources.

The authors support academics and researchers and those operating in the management field in dealing with different challenges that organisations face today. This is especially true concerning the relationship between technological changes, human resources management, and business. They propose the sharing of knowledge, through debate and information exchange, about technological challenges and management, matching the critical items of human and business needs. The book is divided into seven chapters that span from evaluating new technologies to finding the perfect fit.
