In this analysis of how a new computer-based technology can affect demand for labour, the way that the characteristics of user companies can influence the pattern for the spread of this technology is also considered. The book concentrates on the impact of robotics implementation in the metal-working industries, particularly with regard to the potential scale of resulting unemployment. The author produces evidence to support his view that the initial adoption and use of robotics systems will be amongst large firms in the industry
