The production development in the era of industry 4.0 is by adoption of continuously developing disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, virtual reality etc. These technologies affect the job design, work structure, knowledge and skill requirements and organizational culture. Hence it becomes crucial for the organizations to learn continuously in order to adopt these technologies successfully. Learning is viewed to occur through socialization among the members of the organizations in which interpersonal interactions occur. Interpersonal interaction allows members to learn and share knowledge in order to develop their work. In this doctoral research the purpose is to study interpersonal interactions in order to understand what facilitates learning during disruptive technological changes in production. The research is planned to understand the characteristics of interpersonal interactions as well as to understand what facilitates learning during such production developments. Understanding that will help to understand how manufacturing industries can organize for learning during disruptive technological changes.
