Back to "Economics"

The term E-mobility and/or E-Mobility the completion is named by orders and business processes over Internet, with which above all jobs can be organized detached by the mobility of the person mobilely in the virtual area with the help of machine machine communication. This is made possible by technical innovations such as Assistenz and delegation technology (as for instance software agents) as well as by the possibilities of communications between machines. Communication machine ton machine is regarded of the large IT-enterprises as one of the largest growth markets.

Term origin

The term developed in the context of a large technology project of the Federal Government in the years 2002 to 2004. The designation E-Mobility was coined/shaped by the forum social technique organization with the DGB Baden-Wuerttemberg in the year 2002 as term for future forms of the working sphere. The forum social technique organization brought this term into the master project to Federal Ministry at that time for economics and technology (BMWi, late BMWA), which the name MAP - Multimedia job of the future carried.

The forum social technique organization, a person network of approximately 1800 women and men from operating and personnel councils, research and development departments, enterprise, enterprises, handicraft, unemployed person initiatives and woman networks, leads the group of transverse philosophers of "“work 21"” in MAP.

Term contents

In the shoptalks over "„new infrastructures of the work "“assume the experts from economics, trade unions and science not only the work form (for example the organizational model) but also the employer-employee relationship change the processes of change in the working sphere structurally. Here is to be thought in particular of the Pluralisierung and tendentious minimization of the number of the normal employer-employee relationships and the increase of new independentnesses in addition, of the rising "„Virtualisierung of the work worlds "“and "„the Entbetrieblichung of the work "“. Electronics Mobility develops on these developments and/or results from them.

Under electronics Mobility are summarized at present five different forms more net-supported or IT-accompanied work and/or working modules as "„personale "“and "„not personale mobility "“, intelligent ways of the Assistenz, the delegation or other agent-based aids to avail itself. The revolutionizing of the conceptions of mobile working - in relation to the traditional field service of old coinage - are appropriate besides in the process of one "„intelligent intensification By it the procedure is to be understood that the productivity of mobile working increases substantially, in that it to fan out leaves itself into different dimensions about mobility, which are use integrated either person or. This is more than those so far admitted above all personal compression of operational sequences. From the view of electronics Mobility cover the recognizable new of work

• the mobility of the person (personale mobility),
• the mobility of the work and/or work contents partially detached by the person (not personale mobility),
• the mobility of technical tools,
• the mobility of work relations in dynamic-mobile teams or with just as mobile customers and/or customer groups and
• the virtual mobility in parallel environments.

General is to be assumed in future work worlds strict allocations from work forms to certain contents of more and more are broken through. This means that changing mixtures of stationary and mobile, arbeitsteiligem and result-oriented, operatinglocation-referred and virtual, interactive and face ton face coined/shaped working adjust themselves. The mixtures form structurally a new constant, only the portions of the mixing components are flexible. Pure on-line work forms and pure PC-free jobs become exceptions. In these contexts electronics Mobility forms an advancement of the E-Working. By the five tendencies mentioned in detail the following is to be understood:

Mobility of the person

Traditionally one proceeds with the term "„mobile work "“from the conception that the acting person is mobile for the completion of their vocational tasks or to the increased compatibility of spare time and occupation and/or occupation and family between different work places themselves. Apart from the mobility of working persons, which get along without technique support, rises the number of those working environments, which can be described as technology-supported mobility. The tasks of work follow thereby/the person employed. Technical aids provide for the transport of work contents to the respective location/actively the actions. We speak of "„personaler mobility

Mobility of the work - mobility of work contents

The infrastructures of new communicationses permit on the basis of the employment by software agents the mobility by work contents by Assistenz and delegation detached by the mobility and/or that in each case person employed. Over "„not personale mobility goes. While in the classical industriellen work was affirmed work productive with the thought of going through central machine times the local bindingness with simultaneous rotation of the working, the Virtualisierung of work procedures permits the decentralized-mobile supply as well as mobile mobilization of funds of work. Work becomes personfreely mobile. Are at the same time forms of the mobility of the work, with which the work as well as the person is mobile.

Mobility of the technical tools - mobility of applications

Apart from the question about the mobility of the person and the mobility of work contents the technical innovation developments strengthen the mobility of tools. By it on the one hand mobile terminals are to be understood, on the other hand one under it increases the mobility of platform-independent applications of software and from software agents is to to summarize. This is relevant for the Labour Organization and the change of the work culture, if these mobile tools grant the possibilities for the delegation, if they lead own technical "„intelligence "“with itself, if they realize operational sequences, processes, accesses and transactions of most different kind independently, release, terminate, to steer and/or can supervise. "“Over all realm barness"” of technical environments is a characteristic of the trend to the mobile office.

Mobility of work relations

A to a large extent new challenge for the organization of mobile work and occupation worlds is the developing complexity of a mobility beginning of work relations in dynamic-mobile teams or to just as mobile Kund/inn/en and/or customer groups. While in the past mostly of dynamics between localbound enterprise and/or client and mobile order-implementing had to be spoken, with the number "„of on the way active ones "“the number of the dynamic relations will grow. In result-oriented work worlds with (part) autonomous persons employed arise more and more relations between mobile client/inside and for their part mobile contractor/inside up to mobile order and/or problem solution teams. The quantity of horizontal relations mobilely in each case actions increases, the dominance of the local binding verse US mobile relationship loses relatively in meaning.

Virtual mobility

With the increasing of partially virtual working environments the requirement increases to the working persons to move in different virtual activity scenarios at the same time. With increasing mobility with work is to be proceeded from a rising parallel function in combined or separate virtual areas. Virtual mobility means here that persons employed separate not only before the action steps "„to material-virtual "“increasingly also parallel "„to virtual-virtual "“. The mobility between virtual order and task environments rises. With the change between different technology-supported work cultures are besides the differences in the material work cultures of the industries and/or customers of substantial influence. The dynamic change of the experience worlds is far more than only the change of technical solutions.

Organization of E-Mobility

The advancement of the alternating and/or mobile teleworking in the direction of new forms of the electronic mobility confronts the wage partners additionally with a perspective change. In the tariff-political past the traditional field service and certain cutouts of on-line working sphere could be only seized and regulated. Both partners went out thereby with the term mobility in principle of the movableness and the mobilenesses of the working person. The paradigm change reveals itself now with the increasing Virtualisierung the work and the agent-supported delegation technology, with which the working person can be mobilely or immobil, the work and/or modules of it however for the first time in the thorough sense mobile. It represents a high challenge for the organization partners of the working sphere - employers and trade unions - to describe the electronic mobility of the work to define and supply calculable basic conditions. This is for both new ground. New ground will at the same time mean setting of basic conditions for the wage partners with the use of agents in the sense of an obligatory decision relevant delegation, if the delegation is exceeded as Assistenz and decision preparation.
