There is widespread recognition amongst observers of industrial activity that the industrially advanced capitalist economics (TACs) are now experiencing an historically significant process of restructuring. Inevitably there are differences in emphasis in this recounting of economic transition, with some observers ascribing the dominant changes to long waves of technological innovation, others suggesting that the core transition is that between standardisation and flexible specialisation and yet others believing that the key phenomenom is the emergence of systemic technologies and forms of social organisation) Which of these various views is correct -if indeed they represent alternative rather than complementary perspectives -is for the moment not relevant. But what is germane is that they all identify a similar sea-change in the way in which work is being organised, and consequently in the forms of education and training which are most appropriate to the maintenance of any particular pattern of economic and social accumulation
