INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

"The dual interaction between technology and human resource"
May 19-21, 2003
Sophia Antipolis, France
Special track on nuclear technology & HRM

Background to the session

The global aim of the conference is to explore and discuss how technology and work interact, i.e. how people in organizations are impacted by technology and how they themselves shape technologies so that the latter match their organizational aims. The nuclear technology is a very interesting field of study in that respect:

  • It is both a mature technology being applied for civil purposes and especially electricity generation for decades, and still a “high-tech” industry employing a highly qualified manpower;
  • Companies of that industry face specific constraints in terms of safety that directly impact HRM;
  • The demand for new reactors has decreased in the last two decades with direct effects on employment, but also on the management of competences.

Papers can deal with any of those themes as well as any other topic related to the interactions between the nuclear technology and HRM. Papers should be around 5000 words. The first page should include: the title of the article, the names and institutions of the authors, with the address of the main author for correspondence.
