Published 2020 by Springer, open source/access downloadable this book edited by D. Ifenthaler, S. Hofhues, M. Egloffsteing and C. Helbig, details the outcomes of a research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research which ran from 2017 to 2020.
The book has 2 parts, the first providing 3 chapters to overview/background/ frameworks for the project and the second detailing a findings/recommendations in 11 chapters.
Very brief overviews of each chapter are recorded in the preface -v -.
The book covers a range of contexts and challenges within which digitisation is occuring. Contexts include education, social welfare, Swiss vocational schools etc. The human element is explored in several chapters as workers get to grips with 'smart machines' and how work requires 'hybridisation' and transformation for workers to understand implications and work through the challenges.
There are several chapters stressing the need for communication across all 'stakeholders' i.e. employers, workers, clients and the importance of leaderships within organisations to ensure transformation is critically thought through, planned and supported. There is also a chapter (chapter 13) on dealing with resistance to change, a common thread through many other pieces of work on transformational change.
