ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the influence of technology on human resource management and the impact of human resource management on innovation and technology. By highlighting the empirical results of diverse research, the chapter covers the evolution and the state of the art of the topic in the literature. The ideas discussed in the chapter are illustrated with the example of the Technology and Science Dynamics Company, located in Yerevan, Armenia. Rapid changes in technology have affected businesses in more ways than we can count. Today, all of this information can instead be stored in the cloud – documents and other pertinent information can be easily accessed online, while data can be collected through simplified forms and automated processes. Employee information can be archived and organised in one secure location. Information technology as a structural factor and instrument performs as an architect of organisations, business processes and communication, and is increasingly integrated into human resource management. IT is a tool for effective communication and collaboration.
