Abstract:
This paper gives a retrospective about research and practice of work organization in Germany during the
last four to five decades followed by an outlook to new challenges in particular in relation to vocational
training concepts, which come along with the technical opportunities of the ongoing digitization. The
question, how far the work organization could contribute to preserve or enhance the employees’ knowledge
and skills will be addressed reviewing the actual state of research. Thereby the developed concepts are
matched with the current challenges and the concept of the resource based view.
