The Production of Toolboxes and Hand Tools in Industrial Craft Apprenticeship

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in Europe's economy. Since SMEs have distinct organisational practices and structures (e.g. owner-run, continuity over several generations, regional engagement), their intellectual capital (IC) differs from large enterprises. However, there is little research on IC in SMEs. Placing special attention on the craft industry, this research aims at closing this gap. It will present a cross-disciplinary review of research on craft to explore the role of knowledge and human capital in the craft industry. The findings point to overall characteristics which can guide future research and inform policy-making in the craft industry.

Characterising Human Capital in the Craft Industry

This abridged conversation arose from a meeting of artists, academics, and factory workers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2012. The artists had all contributed work to the “Tool at Hand,” an exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The gathering afforded the opportunity for productive discussion about tools, material knowledge, the transmission of skill, and the opportunities of the piecework system.
