Transformation of Professional Identity and Production Competencies under Conditions of Global Mobility: From Local Business to Transnational Production Models

by

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of professional identity and production competencies under conditions of global mobility. Based on an analysis of small business experience and industrial models, it explores the transition from local entrepreneurial practices to transnational production solutions. Particular attention is paid to the transfer of competencies across industries, including automotive service and the production of light gauge steel framing (LGSF). A conceptual approach is proposed for assessing the role of individual production systems in the development of the local economy and the U.S. construction sector.

Keywords:

professional identity, transnational mobility, small business, production competencies, LGSF, industrialization, economic adaptation, U.S. construction sector, entrepreneurship, skills transformation
