The article aims to solve the problems of the development and economic growth of enterprises, organizations, regions, countries through the institutional transformation of social and labor relations during the periods of technological re-equipment of industries and industrial complexes. In theory and methodology, the article is based on Karl Marx’s well-known law of the correspondence of relations of production to the level and nature of the development of productive forces. It draws attention to the fact that, when technological changes (which are nothing more than the development of productive forces in the social and labor sphere) are introduced, employees’ resistance to changes arises. The reason for the resistance lies in the fact that the social and labor (production, according to Marx) relations that had developed by the time the changes were introduced collide with the technologies being introduced (productive forces). In order to reduce the potential of employees’ resistance to changes, the article proposes the following: when managing the implementation of changes, a recommendation is to exert managerial influence on the established institutions of social and labor relations, too. The transformation of the latter, which aims at resolving the arising objectively determined contradictions, will, as follows from the logic of Hegel, contribute to the technological development of enterprises, which, according to Joseph Schumpeter’s concept, will also ensure economic growth. Social and labor relations are influenced through the reproduction of the workforce, expressed in employees’ better qualifications, which, according to the theoretical provisions of Professor Aleksandr Bychkov, ensures the growth of human capital. Based on the provisions of the classical school of political economy, the concept of development of Schumpeter, the logic of Hegel, and the theoretical provisions of Bychkov, the article proposes a methodological scheme for the institutional transformation of social and labor relations. The scheme aims at resolving objectively determined contradictions between productive forces and social and labor relations, which will ensure technological development and economic growth.

Development Approach

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a teleconsultation model for enhancing the treatment of underserved patients in primary care. Previous behavioral health (BH) adaptations of Project ECHO have primarily focused on adults or specific diagnoses and have relied on self-reported outcomes. The purpose of this pilot was to adapt Project ECHO to support pediatric primary care providers in addressing common BH needs and to conduct an initial evaluation of its effectiveness. Overall, participants reported high levels of satisfaction and a statistically significant improvement in their overall knowledge and skills ( P = 0.001). Participation was also associated with a reduction in the use of psychotropic polypharmacy. This pilot adds to a growing body of literature suggesting that Project ECHO is a promising workforce development approach to build competencies for the management of BH issues in primary care.

Development Orientation

This article argues that there is a need to move beyond narrow ways of thinking about training to incorporate broader notions of ‘workforce development’ and ‘skill ecosystems’. A market-based approach to skills development is contrasted with a social consensus model, which takes a more integrated view of how skills are formed and sustained. However, following a review of Australia’s brief and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to develop something akin to a social consensus approach, we argue that there is much to be gained from a workforce development approach and an understanding of skill formation as occurring in the context of skill ecosystems. To be most effective this approach to skill formation requires the facilitation of networks and nurturing of partnerships among the different agents and agencies concerned with skill development. Recent initiatives in Australia that explicitly adopt a skill ecosystem and workforce development orientation demonstrate the potential of these approaches to overcome many of the problems associated with currently dominant market-based approaches and avoid the pitfalls of social consensus models.
