| Autoren: | RUTH, K. | Titel: | Learning Curves in Technology Design. | Abstract: | The paper analyses different paths in CNC machine tool design in an internationally comparative perspective. Based upon the assumption that design and use, innovation and production can no longer be perceived as separated processes, it tries to explain peculiarities in the design of CNC technology as the result of the properties of industrial cultural configurations. By applying the analytical concept of industrial culture, different ‘technological trajectories’ can be broken up and different learning processes in technology design can be detected.\|The analyses lay special emphasis on the developing engineers as important actors within a wider actors’ network, particularly on the engineers’ problem solving perspectives and their guiding technical images. Typically the latter links qualification and education structures of the manufacturing workforce with the technology design processes, thus technology design and the anticipated application context are related with each other and treated as an integrated process. | Herausgeber: | Banerjee, P. | Buch/Zeitschriftname: | Skill, cognition and Society. | Verlag: | Springer Verlag | Ort: | London | Jahr: | 1996 | Jhrg.: | | BdNr.: | | HeftNr.: | | Seitenzahl: | | ISBN/ISSN: | | Preis: | 5,00 DM | BestellNr.
