An Exploratory Bibliometric Analysis of the Birth and Emergence of Industry 5.0

Abstract

This study provides an exploratory bibliometric analysis of the emerging literature on Industry 5.0, which is a new visionary concept on the future of industry. Industry 5.0 has in recent years begun to attract the interest of both practitioners and academics, but this new field can still be considered embryonic and not well documented. Therefore, this study aims to map the field and provide a preliminary picture of the emergence and status of the scientific literature on Industry 5.0. Bibliometric data covering the period from 2015 to 2021 were extracted from the Scopus database. Bibliometric analyses of overall publication volume and growth trajectory, influential documents, authors, sources and countries are performed. The exploratory analysis provides a preliminary overview of the birth and emergence of this new research area. The results are discussed in relation to theories on the emergence and evolution of new management concepts. The article closes with some speculations about the future trajectory of Industry 5.0.

Supply chain innovation announcements and shareholder value under industries 4.0 and 5.0: evidence from China

“…Finally, it is proved that technology innovation in supply chain has received extensive attention within the context of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, which shows that Industry 4.0and 5.0-related technologies are highly valued in the field of supply chain management and extends the previous research of Industries 4.0 and 5.0 about technology (Fatorachian and Kazemi, 2021;Madsen and Berg, 2021). In addition, this research demonstrates the differential impact of SCI driven by Industry 4.0 or Industry 5.0, providing a reference for SCI research within the context of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0.…”

“…Industry 4.0 significantly improves supply chain transparency, responsiveness, flexibility, sustainability and efficiency, and also offers the benefits of mass customization. Whereas Industry 5.0 maintains and improves these capabilities in the supply chain, but is more about adding value through the mass personalization of products and services (Madsen and Berg, 2021). In addition, people centricity and sustainability, which are focused on by Industry 5.0, will also be positive goals in SCI.…”

Future of industry 5.0 in society: human-centric solutions, challenges and prospective research areas

“…Cognitive computing: This application aims to stimulate the thoughts of the human in processes into a computerized model [16,144,145]. Using the self-learning algorithms uses data mining, recognition of patterns, natural language, and others that the computer can read that the human brain will work.…”

Employees’ perception of robots and robot-induced unemployment in hospitality industry under COVID-19 pandemic

“…Industry 5.0 specifically indicates actual abilities, modularizes, interchangeability, actualization, and transformation that can diversify any industry to extend the lead to technologically advancement activities. Therefore, the 5.0 hospitality industry aimed at diverting to hospitality 5.0 ( Madsen and Berg, 2021 ). Hospitality 5.0 may influence the hotel industry’s high-tech adoption, and during COVID-19 technological use was increased dramatically in hospitality service ( Zeng et al, 2020 ) due to contactless services and safety in customer journey touchpoints ( Pillai et al, 2021 ).…”
