The Impact of Digitalization in the Workplace: An Educational View

Description

This edited volume brings together researchers from various disciplines (i.e. education, psychology, sociology, economy, information technology, engineering) discussing elementary changes at workplaces occurring through digitalization, and reflecting on educational challenges for individuals, organizations, and society. The latest developments in information and communication technology seem to open new potential, and the crucial question arises which kind of work can be replaced by technology?

The book addresses researchers as well as practitioners in the field of adult education and human resource development.
