Personnel Management in the Context of New Forms of Diffusion of Innovations

Abstract

The practice of company development in the twenty-first century diagnoses the appearance of a number of features in the processes of diffusion of innovations. The point is that in the course of the spread of innovative technologies, there is not so much an accelerated displacement of traditional technical systems as their absorption, i.e., a relatively slow replacement of existing equipment with new innovative systems. This phenomenon goes beyond the traditional theory of evolutionary economics and needs special research. This chapter attempts to explain the essence of the occurrence of this phenomenon. The authors are talking about the need for exponential growth of investments in the implementation of innovative projects for the development of technical systems, which a significant number of production organizations are unable to implement. As a result, hybrid technical systems are being formed, in which traditional and innovative technical systems are interfaced. The formation and maintenance of such systems requires unique solutions in the development of R&D and places high demands on the development of the organization’s human capital.
