From the author: This article proceeds with some brief comments on the links between technological evolution and HRM. We then draw on a recent study of contract workers to suggest how one person's specialized, technology-based knowledge may be attracted to and internalized within the contracting company. We extend the example of the individual worker to other examples involving more than one person, and develop an argument that the new HRM involves working with and benefiting from knowledge-generating communities that lie beyond the company's boundaries. To further illustrate this argument, we compare what we call a "quest for knowledge" approach to HRM with the "war for talent" approach proposed in a popular book of the same name.
