“…The most important technologies related to digital transformation, which find wide practical application, are mainly communication technologies (Internet, wireless and mobile networks, etc. ), data collection (sensorics, recognition of speech, writing, face and other images) as well as processing and analyzing these data (machine learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence algorithms) [20][21][22].…”

One of the main reasons for the dynamic global economic development observed in recent years is the process of digitalization, referred to as Industry 4.0. The significance of digitalization for this development is appreciated by the EU-27. In order for these actions to be effective, it is necessary to diagnose the current level of digitalization in the EU-27countries. The article presents the results of the assessment of the level of digitalization of enterprises in the EU-27 countries. An empirical analysis was conducted using 16 determinants which describe the digitalization in a sample of 27 EU countries. Based on the adopted criteria and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution method, these countries were divided into four classes in terms of the level of digitalization. The analysis looked at the size of enterprises and was performed independently for small, medium and large enterprises. The adopted indicators allowed for the analysis of similarity between the EU-27 countries in terms of digitalization, using the Kohonen’s networks. The result of this research was the division of the EU-27 countries into groups, also taking into account the size of studied enterprises. Due to the immensely diverse EU-27 economy, such a huge undertaking as the digital transformation process requires building logical internal "digital coalitions". The designated assessment and similarity between countries creates such opportunities, also in terms of building an effective policy to support these processes by the EU. This increases the chances of success of joint ventures and building a sustainable European community based on the latest technologies.

“…Industry 4.0 initially emerged from Germany within the industrial civilization which was initiated by Kagermann et al (2011) where they started the concept with smart manufacturing. The study conducted by Möller (2016) cited that the concept of industry 4.0 was used first time in the year 2011 in a German fair named 'Hannover Fair' which was organized for industrial development by the German government (Yüksel, 2020). The successful implementation of the concept of industry 4.0 later, the concept got widely accepted across the globe specifically in European and Asian countries.…”

The study aims to evaluate perceived impediments and anticipated solutions to HR while implementing Industry 4.0 initiatives in SMEs. A group of 10 decision-makers from these SMEs was tasked with assigning ratings to a variety of parameters. To create the model for 10 perceived impediments and five anticipated solutions and subsequently rank them, the TOPSIS technique is employed. According to the data analysis, job reductions, unemployment, and job uncertainty have emerged as the top three significant hurdles, while challenges to trainers, replacement of humans, and training costs have been recognized as the bottom three. Smart HR 4.0 and AI & Data Analytics are the top and lowest-ranked solutions respectively. HR in I4.0 in SMEs parameters have been graded based on their contributing attributes. However, it is also true that there are several impediments associated with the implementation of Industry 4.0. These impediments become more challenging in the context of SMEs.

“…Moreover, the Global Competitiveness Index, reported by the World Economic Forum [37], shows Brazil in 78th position in the infrastructure pillar, showing great opportunities for improvements. In addition, as emphasized by Yüksel [38], developing countries faces greater challenges to transform their companies towards Industry 4.0.…”

The logistics sector is characterised as an important pillar of the Brazilian economy, significant regarding revenue and job creation. This study aims to critically analyse the logistical operations developed by Brazilian companies in the context of Logistics 4.0 and to structure a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) matrix from the information gathered. In addition, relationships were established between the structured SWOT matrix and the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9). The methodological approach taken by the study consisted of semi-structured interviews with ten experts and data were analysed through content analysis. Once structured the SWOT matrix, the results were related with the targets of the SDG 9. The study presented the weaknesses and threats stand out in relation to the strengths and opportunities. When compared with the targets of SDG 9, it is possible to observe that many weaknesses are related to infrastructure and innovation. The main contributions of the study are the following: it is one of the few studies which holistically examined the sector in Brazil from a Logistics 4.0 perspective and the study points out some essential needs which should be addressed. The information presented here can broaden the debates on this topic and assist companies and government in the transition to digital transformation.
