“…On this point, a further research gap emerges that academics may be interested in exploring in the future to investigate what drivers are needed to increase consumer and employee participation in CE processes. Previous studies clearly showed how legitimation is an essential driver in CE development (Biloslavo et al, 2020). The new insights coming from the practitioner side discuss the role of strategies for creating stakeholder engagement.…”

“…Therefore, we believe our results could contribute to extending existing studies on CE. Although new technologies allow the development of new business models that allow the development of CE, the solutions provided still need to gain legitimation to be accepted (Biloslavo et al, 2020). Practical examples suggest that the development of stakeholder engagement could allow developing moral legitimacy (Reuber & Morgan‐Thomas, 2019).…”

“…However, the possibility of obtaining the result in terms of CE is based on a long‐term process of redesigning, repairing, reusing, remanufacturing, refurbishing and recycling (Geisendorf & Pietrulla, 2018; Geissdoerfer et al, 2017; Hazen, Mollenkopf, & Wang, 2016). An overall legitimation process must be taken into account (Biloslavo, Bagnoli, Massaro, & Cosentino, 2020; Reuber & Morgan‐Thomas, 2019). This aspect leads to the first definition of sustainability linked to a balance among economic performance, social inclusiveness and environmental resilience for future generations (Massaro, Bagnoli, & Dal Mas, 2020).…”

The union between Industry 4.0 and the circular economy (CE) appears relatively recent. In this sense, new trading zones for sharing a common scenario among academics and practitioners are needed. The paper aims to investigate the link between Industry 4.0 and the CE by understanding how Industry 4.0 can foster the impact of the CE on companies. The study proposes a broader perspective that includes thematic and content analysis gathering data on professional documents based on business cases, newspaper articles, press releases and specialised blogs, as well as scientific papers. The joint academic‐practitioners view highlights how Industry 4.0 has the potential to impact on the CE through countless actions: increasing waste disposal; promoting remanufacturing; enhancing the efficiency of critical resources such as water, energy, gas and CO2; and improving business models and the mission of companies. However, barriers still exist in its adoption, stressing the need for holistic and integrated design and a proactive environment of collaboration among stakeholders. Results lead to practical as well as research implications.

“…Achieving legitimacy for local vertical-specific 5G services and service providers through the deployment of local 5G networks is, however, an open question in many countries. Indeed, disruptive innovations such as 5G have been found to cause regulatory, incumbent and social "pushbacks" and they can be expected also for vertical 5G services, as legitimacy is a precondition for successful value creation and capture on a technology (Biloslavo et al 2020).…”

Mobile communication research is increasingly addressing the use of 5G in verticals, which has led to the emergence of local and often private 5G networks. At the same time, research on 6G has started, with a bold goal of building a strong linkage between 6G and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Both of these developments call for a highly multi-disciplinary approach covering the inter-related perspectives of business, regulation and technology. This paper summarizes recent advances in using 5G to serve vertical sectors' needs and describes a path towards sustainable 6G considering business, regulation and technology viewpoints. By focusing on key trends, the research summarizes four alternative scenarios for the futures business of 6G and considers related regulatory and technology aspects. Our findings highlight the importance of understanding the complex relations of business, regulation and technology perspectives and the role of ecosystems in both 5G in verticals and ultimately in the development of sustainable 6G to bring together stakeholders to solve long-term sustainability problems.

“…Researchers agree that the contemporary European economy has faced new challenges due to the rapid technological advancement coupled with growing customer expectations (Biloslavo et al, 2020;Centobelli et al, 2020;Arnold et al, 2016). In the literature, the idea of Industry 4.0 is described as the fourth industrial revolution aimed at the production of technologically advanced products that meet customer expectations in terms of techniques, information technology and economy (Dos Santos et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2018;Piccarozzi et al, 2018).…”

Purpose:The purpose of the article is to present selected results of a survey on the prospects for the development of electromobility in the context of Industry 4.0. A particular emphasis has been put on a precise analysis of consumer demand and social trends influenced by the IT and technological advancement. Approach/Methodology/Design: The survey used CAWI techniques and was implemented in a period of June-December 2020. The sample included 500 respondents from selected EU member states, including Poland, and the survey concentrated on the demand side. Findings: The importance of modern forms of mobility is expected to grow in the future. However, further promotion and development of electromobility in the context of Industry 4.0 remains an open issue. In the article, the authors point to the power generation technology which should prevail according to opinions expressed by representatives of the demand side and support the development of electromobility that will revolutionize individual transport. Practical implications: According to the survey, apart from the growing number of electric vehicles on the market, equally important is the development of charging infrastructure, since it is an indispensable component of electromobility. This is particularly important in the light of EU plans to develop electromobility based on Industry 4.0. Originality/Value: The study attempts to fill the gap in the literature. The experimental research approach can help to understand links between electromobility and its development prospects in the context of Industry 4.0. At the same time, it is the first attempt to indicate the energy technology which should be used in electric vehicles as a basis for the future mobility in the European Union.
