ICT professions constitute a privileged research area for understanding the relationships between ICT, skills and work organisation. Not only there is a close relationship between technology and skills. Moreover, ICT companies are often at the leading edge of organisational changes: flat hierarchies, project work, multi-skills teams, continuous skills update, flexible and extended working time patterns, customers’ pressure, etc. High-tech companies are laboratories of organisational changes, which become widespread in other sectors which are characterised by “informational” activities.
