`This important book fills a major gap. It shoots down the mistaken belief that factories of the future will be staffed by large numbers of `low-skilled button pushers'. Business executives, labor leaders, and employees will find this book a valuable guide for setting strategies to meet the challenges of rapid technological change and intense foreign competition.'Edward E. Masters, President, National Planning Association
