Technology, Human Resources and Turbulent Change in Lucas and Bosch: A Plant Level Study1
基于1980年代历史数据，从集团和工厂层面研究卢卡斯工业与博世公司在技术动荡期的技术与人力资源策略，发现公司战略稳定性及向工厂传导的方式对竞争绩效至关重要。
SUMMARY This paper studies two companies in a period of turbulent technological change. Based on historical data for the 1980s, it examines the technology and human resource strategies of Lucas Industries PLC and Robert Bosch GmbH both at a group and plant level. It draws two main conclusions: first that stability in company strategy is a key to understanding competitive performance and second that the way in which strategy is transmitted to the individual plant level and diffused into actual working practices is similarly central to effective performance.
