“…A lower level of social capital, expressed, e.g., by communication problems, may have a significant impact on the adaptation to the requirements of Industry 4.0. These phenomena were noticed by Brixner et al [91]. The studies referred to the scale of countries, but similar phenomena can be observed on a local scale.…”

The development of Industry 4.0 has a significant impact not only on production processes but also on the functioning and future of regions. It is crucial to understand the phenomena taking place in the social and economic space both from the cognitive and practical point of view. The article is based on research which investigates the prospect of communes in the context of Industry 4.0 development. The aim of the article is to show possible consequences of the development of Industry 4.0 from the local perspective. The basic assumption is a positive impact of entrepreneurship on ensuring sustainable regional development. The model adopted is built on a resource-based view and includes both invariable, external and independent resources such as location, as well as those which are variable in the longer term, such as human and social capital. To verify most of the hypotheses, a linear regression model has been created. The results of the research show that there is a strong correlation between human capital, social capital, proximity of an agglomeration and tourist attractiveness of a region, and regional development operationalised by the number of enterprises. The article presents possible directions of changes in the profiles of local units, as well as the conditions which have to be met in order to enable such a transformation.

“…When considering that Industry 4.0 is first and foremost understood as a technological advancement of organizational workings [ 3 , 5 ], in research, scientists have directly proposed that the use of certain contemporary management tools can serve as a precursor for the implementation of Industry 4.0, for instance, RFID [ 34 , 76 ], rapid prototyping [ 77 ], etc. More traditional management tools have also been put forward as being beneficial to use in the environment of Industry 4.0 [ 20 , 78 ], for instance, customer segmentation [ 60 ], mission and vison statements [ 20 ], etc.…”

“…Globally, Industry 4.0 is coming to the forefront with its practices and is shaping the environment in which organizations work under the increased influence of more advanced digital technologies and business practices [ 1 , 2 ]. In general, Industry 4.0 can be thought of as a techno-organizational paradigm [ 3 ], where its fundamental goal relates to technological advances of organizational workings, but it is also changing other areas of organizations [ 1 , 4 ]. Although the ideas of Industry 4.0 are very popular and have been recognized as beneficial among industrial organizations [ 5 , 6 ], its practices have been hard to implement [ 4 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…However, as has been recognized, to successfully operate any high-level organizational change, management needs a correct and comprehensive framework of tools that serve as a goal-oriented way of achieving the desired organizational workings [ 19 , 23 ]. Industry 4.0 is still in the initial stages of its development [ 1 ], but it has already had a positive effect on organizations in terms of productivity and beneficial workings [ 3 , 6 , 27 ]. The utilization of management tools through the years [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] has also had a positive effect.…”

The main purpose of this study is to examine how the use of management tools supports the readiness of manufacturing organizations for the implementation of Industry 4.0. The originality of the research is reflected in the exploration of the relationship between the use of the selected well-known management tools and their readiness for the implementation of Industry 4.0, which was assessed using a combination of two models—one developed by the National Academy of Science and Engineering (Acatech) and the other by the University of Warwick. The relationship was assessed by applying structural equation modeling techniques to a data set of 323 responses from employees in manufacturing organizations. The results show that the use of six sigma, total quality management, radio frequency identification, a balanced scorecard, rapid prototyping, customer segmentation, mission and vision statements, and digital transformation is positively associated with Industry 4.0 readiness. Inversely, outsourcing and strategic planning are negatively associated with Industry 4.0 readiness, while lean manufacturing, which is often emphasized as the cornerstone of Industry 4.0 implementation, is not associated with Industry 4.0 readiness in our study. These findings can help organizations to understand how to consider and measure readiness for the implementation of Industry 4.0 more comprehensively and present guidelines on how the use of management tools in manufacturing organizations can foster their implementation of Industry 4.0 principles.

“…An Industry 4.0 environment is rapidly forming with the adoption of new principles of social and organizational philosophies that are considered to be more sustainable in terms of nature and human systems [6][7][8][9][10]. It is, however, predicated on technological advances [2], but this impacts other areas of organizational workings; thus, Industry 4.0, in essence, represents a more collaborative, multicultural and multidisciplinary organizational environment [11][12][13][14].…”

This study combines two main challenges for organizations today, as it examines the alignment between personal values of future leaders and the values needed in the Industry 4.0 workplace. Based on the movement of the organizational environment toward a more multidisciplinary, open, collaborative and multicultural environment, we presuppose that the Industry 4.0 workplace requires a more benevolent, universally oriented and generally self-transcended leaders. Drawing upon Schwartz’s value theory, we examine the impact of Generations Y and Z’s personal values on their leadership inclination. The results from the survey of 371 young participants from Generations Y and Z reveal that self-enhancement (i.e., power and achievement), openness to change and conservation values most significantly affect leadership inclination. Meanwhile, benevolence, universalism and general self-transcendence values—cornerstones of the Industry 4.0 workplace—show negative effects on leadership inclination in the frame of the Industry 4.0 workplace. This indicates a poor fit between the values of future leaders and the values of the Industry 4.0 workplace. These findings have significant implications for human resource management in future organizations and contribute to the understanding of future leaders. In addition, the findings can help organizations to manage sustainable workings in an Industry 4.0 environment.
