 While Workers’ Knowledge and Enterprise Innovation deals with the knowledge and labour competencies from a theoretical and methodological perspective, it also brings with it a practical goal.

In this book thinking is understood as an activity that adds value to all process of work. Its main argument is that actors have supremacy over systems and that workers give sense to their work according to the performance of the organization. In the prologue, Luiz Antonio Caruso from the SENAI of Brasil states that training institutions are pragmatically oriented and that they are waiting for new solutions given the changes of the world of work in the nineties. Thus, it will be helpful for the development of adequate technologies and resources regarding these changes to combine workers’ knowledge and technological innovation or communicative competency and occupational competency. The rigorous determination of learning in life experience and work experience or the analysis and evaluation of labour competencies that incorporates workers’ comprehension to technical expertise opens a path of clues to new training, particularly for models of alternating training. This book posses a new challenge to training institutions and also to enterprises and trade unions as social actors in all genesis of productive knowledge.
