The present book focuses on a topic of growing interest among investigators of labor in the American  region; it refers to the problem of technological change, the transformations in work organization and the modification of qualifications. It picks up the results of investigations and reflections carried out by a distinguished group of investigators, members of the Latin American Network of Education and Labor in the past few years. There are three topics analyzed throughout the book: the restructuring of the productive sector in the new context of technological change and globalization; the networks of  enterprises, their interrelation, and the differentiated demands of qualifications between firms situated in distinct spaces of the productive sector; and finally, the topic of labor  competencies, conceived as capacity to resolve problems that include tecnical knowledge and handling uncertainty, patrimony of workers, not positions. The contributions that appear in this book were presented and discussed during the occasion of a meeting promoted by the Network held in Aguas de Lindoia, San Pablo, in December of 1996.
