Paper Abstract:
|
Engineers are confronted with changes in the nature of their work caused by technological innovations and restructuring of organizational boundaries. The use of modern information and communication technologies and new construction software is leading to the evolution of new working methods. Collaborative engineering methods are being increasingly applied and global engineering seems to be a reachable goal. Computer-supported collaborative working tools should bring people together in virtual spaces. Engineering seems to be becoming spatially flexible: anytime anyplace. This will have consequences for their work and the international division of labor. This case study analyzes relevant aspects of engineering in the German automobile industry. |
