Economic Transformation
By THIERRY NOYELLE
ABSTRACT: In this article, the author argues that the 1970s and early
1980s mark the ascent of a new economic era characterized by the rise of
services, the widespread diffusion of computerized technology, the emerging
role of small firms, and increasing internationalization. Some implications
of these changes for the location of economic activities are suggested.
Policy directions are then highlighted, including the need to develop
human resources, to develop the new technological infrastructure, to
develop the new economic infrastructure of service firms, to promote the
new world of work, and to help workers at risk.
Thierry Noyelle is senior research scholar with the Conservation of Human Resources
Project, Columbia University, where he has worked since 1977. He has been a consultant to
numerous governmental organizations, foundations, and private firms in the United States
and abroad. His publications include Beyond Industrial Dualism (1986); Technology and
Employment (1986); The Economic Transformation of American Cities (1984); and
Services/ The New Economy (1981).
