Lecture by Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister at the 2012 Engineering and IT Conference at the AutoUni Wolfsburg
This year's Engineering and IT Conference of the Hans Böckler Foundation in cooperation with IG Metall took place from September 26 to 27, 2012 at the AutoUni in Wolfsburg. The conference focused on successful design approaches and challenges for interest groups and employees from the engineering and IT sectors with regard to "the future of work". The questions addressed included the extent to which IT can create the conditions for "good" work, what work will look like in the future and what products and services will determine the future.
As part of the conference, Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister gave a presentation on the topic of crowdsourcing and the associated implications for the world of work. The focus was on the opportunities, risks and changes that the implementation of this concept entails for both employees and employers.
