    Episode 30 – Digital Change: importance of education and innovation

     

    In this Episode of the WUEconomics Outside the Box Podcast, I talked to Prof. Dr. Thomas Zwick, head of the chair of human resource management and organization at the University of Wuerzburg about the implications of digital change on the labor market – which options do employees have to protect themselves from being substituted by robots or machines in the future?

     

    Moreover, we talked about a research project of Prof. Zwick, that aimed to identify personality traits of successful innovators and highly innovative personal. As innovations is very important in order to stay competitive, results of this research project are extremely interesting for almost every organization.
