Dawson, Patrick; Gunson, Nicky
New Technology, Work and Employment, v17 n1 p35-45 Mar 2002
A case study of automation in the British baking industry illustrates several perspectives: (1) technological change as inevitable due to external market forces; (2) selection and implementation of technology as an outcome of strategic choices; and (3) awareness of the need for change as part of a political process in which choices are made among competing views.
