Sumario:Part of a special section on human resources and information technology. The writers argue that the increasing decentralization of large organizations, dependence on outsourced services and strategic partnerships, and utilization of alternative employment relationships with individual employees are the three areas of organizational change that specifically create new challenges within the context of employment law.
