Abstract

There is a recent and growing literature on the consequences of the ongoing technological transformation on skills. Most of the time it views technological progress as an exogenous shock that impacts the relative demands for labor with different skills. This chapter takes as a starting point that the technological transformation is the results of organizational choices. Hence it reviews a literature relating to what is going on upstream rather than downstream in the innovation process. In particular, it addresses how organizations take advantage of new technological opportunities to reform their designs, how they create work environments that favor innovative work behavior, and why employees engage their resources by participating to innovation.
