“…Consequently, no form should be played off against the other. Other researchers have pointed to how work process knowledge is developed in communities of practice through application in the workplace (Fischer, 1996;Boreham, Samurcay, & Fischer, 2002). This work is useful in that it moves away from formally acquired and sequenced learning and towards understanding that there are different types of knowledge and that knowledge can be developed in different contexts.…”

Mobile devices are increasingly being used to support learning in work contexts. In exploring the emerging field of work-based mobile learning (WBML), researchers need to give consideration to the theoretical and empirical findings from mobile and work-based learning. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of key issues and dominant debates in these fields with the aim of providing a systematic introduction for mobile learning researchers interested in exploring the use of mobile devices for learning in work-based contexts. This paper’s focus is aimed at scoping possible commonalities across mobile and work-based learning in order to establish a baseline for future conceptual work in empirical research towards WBML.

“…Up to now, knowledge issues of work organization have not been appreciably taught either on a primary vocational level or in further training at any level (for a solution to this: see Fischer & Stuber, 1998). Therefore, the participants were given the task to draw a workplace schematic of the operational information and flow of materials In keeping with their previous work experience.…”

In this contribution the relationship between work process knowledge and human resources development is discussed. The concept of work process knowledge is described as it evolved as an outcome of a research network involving research institutions from 10 European countries (N. C. Boreham, R. Samurçay, & M. Fischer, 2002). Historical origins of the concept are mentioned and different dimensions of work process knowledge are depicted as a topic of ongoing research. How work process knowledge is considered within current research activities focusing on measures of organizational learning is also defined. In this respect, research results from the European research project OrgLearn (“Ways of Organisational Learning in the Chemical Industry and Their Impact on Vocational Education and Training,” funded under the Fifth Framework Programme of the European Union and coordinated by the author) are reported. Finally, the implications of the concept of work process knowledge are discussed, which have become apparent in recent developments within vocational education and training in Germany. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Here, all users finally get involved and are confronted with the application. Theoretical knowledge is the subject of classroom sessions and experience is gained hands-on through playground scenarios (see Fischer and Stuber, 1998). Besides focussing on techniques and experience, the training phase permits open talk about the possible drawbacks of the new system and the respective organization, ranging from fears of loss of one's workplace to personal work overload.…”

Under increasing pressure, many industrial enterprises are seeking means to improve their performance. Years of rationalizations led to the conclusion that no one‐time improvement will enable continuing success. Thus companies realize that their edge lies in the transformation of knowledge to action. The field of knowledge management addresses a broad range of aspects but still is rooted in a rather technical methodology. Establishing knowledge management is a process of organizational innovation. As the implementation of application software packages is now considered the major driving force of organizational innovation, a close look at IT implementation projects as a means to establish integrated knowledge management at operational business levels seems promising. The paper will present the knowledge network concept as a means of establishing an integrated approach to knowledge management and will highlight it using observations made during system implementation in SMEs.
