Overview

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is upon us, with disruptive technology rapidly changing our personal and professional lives. In this climate it is not clear how organization reorganization will take place and there is haziness over the strategic HRM required to attract, develop, and retain talent. This book shines a light on the rapidly changing work landscape by bringing together international expert contributors, who address issues such as the long-term effects of artificial intelligence and block chain technologies on the firm and on human resources, and deliberate on the effects Industrial Revolution 4.0 is likely to have on both emerging economies and developed countries. A number of fundamental questions are asked: Will HR managers perceive IT as a supporting adjunct or a core operational department? Will man and machine co-exist, or will artificial intelligence have more ominous implications for humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? In other words, is HRM 4.0 an opportunity, a transient phase, or an impending threat? Human and Technological Resource Management is a must read for students and scholars of HRM, as well as anyone interested in the future of technology in the workplace

Reviews

Long overdue and timely. HRM does not always keep up with the rapid developments in the world around us. This book can be a game changer in this respect. An important read for students, practitioners, and academics alike. -- Wolfgang Mayrhofer, Professor of Management and Organisational Behaviour 'The management of people in time of Industry 4.0 is a critical issue for both practitioners and academics. This book provides much needed answers from a cohort of leading academics who pull together current knowledge about HRM and Industry 4.0 to shed light on this complex matter. Those who study HRM would profit from reading this book' -- Prof Yehuda Baruch, Professor of Management A successful combination of two important topics: Industry 4.0 and Human Resource Management. Two sides of the same coin, which are usually only looked at from one perspective. -- Professor Dr. Alexander Brem A fast-forward into the future of human resource management and technology. Artificial intelligence, digital competencies, gig economy, digital reverse mentoring, employer branding and organizational design are the topics covered and highly relevant for the new world of HRM. A highly recommended read! -- Professor Miha Skerlavaj, Vice-dean for Research and Professor
