With the increasing possibilities of providing services to employees through Internet and Intranet applications, Human Resource professionals just need to click once or twice and a specially designed HR website leads to the required information.

In this study, we extend this work one step further and explore the role of information technology in shaping the competency requirements of HR professionals.

[Richard Miner] writes that "we have to accept" that all but a "small minority" of workers must earn some form of post-secondary credential. "We face a future with large numbers of unskilled workers looking for jobs that require skills they don't possess, and a large number of jobs that will go unfilled." If action is not taken "now," the outcome will be "unacceptable. Miner makes a number of references to the "current trend in education and training." His analysis depends on higher education participation rates remaining steady while Canada moves toward a "knowledge economy." But, if the economy is going to be fundamentally different in 20 years, why should we expect people to make the same choices they do now? For example, according to data for 2006, the Ontario labour market require...

The article "Seven Challenges to Combining Human and Automated Service" is an admirable effort to build on the knowledge required for service organizations in the modern economy. Relating to Challenge 1 (identifying the key issues of managing a hybrid service system), the authors' proposed conceptual framework is explicitly designed to address the fact that co-creation of value-in-use involves employment of customer resources together with employee and automated resources. It would be desirable, however, for the discussion to have greater recognition of the potential role of customers in co-production, especially recognizing that the efforts of third parties can be harnessed as part of the system. Challenge 7 (coordinate interdisciplinary activities) highlights a crucial aspect of manag...

HIGH OIL AND GAS revenues may be fueling the Alberta powerhouse today, but the Alberta government is not sitting back and idling; it is expanding its economy by using innovation to build on natural resource strengths. Alberta is strengthening the province's research system by facilitating research and development collaborations between governments, publicly-funded institutions and industry. These innovative research and development collaborations are helping Alberta to establish a competitive knowledge-based economy.

Proposed projects include a new facility at the University of Calgary for work on adv...

This is one of those times when the phrase "Happy New Year" has a sardonic ring. I can't remember a period when the year ahead looked more uncertain or more gloomy. Nor can I remember a time when personal interest and the collective good were so opposed. We have become used to talking about the "post-industrial era" and the "knowledge economy. Governments' determination to get us out of the mess may help confidence, but it may also serve to underline the depth of the problem. President Franklin D. Roosevelt told Americans in his first inaugural address during the Depression, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

The dominant theme of the global governance literature is the fragmentation and recomposition of authority in the global political economy, particularly its apparent diffusion away from the exclusive prerogative of the sovereign state towards a multiplicity of sites, including international organizations, locally and trans-nationally based non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and transnational corporations. Both books are refreshingly grounded in an old idea - the power of the nation-state - and fit into this dialogue by addressing two issues in the practice and theory of global governance: an empirical study of the ongoing importance of minilateral clubs of rich states, which represents a counter-point to easy arguments about the democratizing potential of new technologies, voices, ...
