Project

Strategic Competence Development in non-research intensive SME of the manufacturing industry (StraKosphere)

The research project “Strategic Competence Development in non research-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) of the manufacturing industry (StraKosphere)“ develops and conducts initial tests of instruments and concepts of strategic competence development which specifically design competences particularly of semi-skilled and unskilled production employees along strategic company objectives. This improves the exploitation of the related potentials for process innovations.

Objectives

In cooperation with the partners the research project StraKosphere develops new solutions for strategic competence development which are specifically adapted to the requirements and framework conditions of non research-intensive SME, taking account of the areas "Organization" and "employees". They make it possible to sustainably support the competences of production employees – particularly of those semi-skilled and unskilled production employees who up to now have been considered to be resistant to learning, in order to specifically increase the potentials of innovation capability.
