    Summary
    We investigated the effect of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), new forms of workplace organization, and trade (export) activities on the demand for employees with different levels of (vocational) education for Greek and Swiss enterprises. We found positive (negative) effects of the use of ICT for high-educated (low-educated) personnel in both countries and mixed effects for medium-educated employees. New forms of workplace organization do not have uniform effects on the workforce composition. A positive effect of exports for high-educated employees was traced only for Swiss firms
