Mature businesses in need of new products, services, markets, acquisitions or divestitures must also plan to identify, attract or reallocate the talent necessary for revitalization and continued petition. Here’s a little piece of information about that technological revolution, a headline from an article reporting on a study by Worldwatch Institute back in 1980: Micro Electronics Seen Producing Sweeping Industrial Change.
