Industrial Automation and the Transformation of Work Organization: Three Case Studies in West Malaysia

Naftonal University of Singapore

Based on qualitative discussions of three enterprises operating under different sets of imperatives in Malaysia, this article attempts to show how an integrative and developmental approach to the study of technology and its impact will provide a more meaningful understanding of the issues involved.
