“…Also, the globalisation of markets demanded a new set of aptitudes for accountants to perform effectively across a wide range of work environments, countries and cultures (Winterton & Turner, 2019). Recent industry research suggests that while shifts in work and skill demands arising from the 4IR may be little different to those experienced in earlier periods of rapid technological change the accounting profession is expected to be significantly impacted (Rumbens et al, 2019;Silva et al, 2020).…”

The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) presents many opportunities and challenges in a digitised world of work. This paper draws on a systematic literature review of recent research published by accounting professional bodies outlining the impact of digital technologies on the accounting profession. By taking advantage of this work this study critically assesses the types of skills and personal qualities that graduates as future accountants will need and explores the implications for accounting education and university curricula. The analysis reveals that necessary skills for future accountants may be summarised into four categories: (a) Ethical skills; (b) Digital skills; (c) Business skills; and (d) Soft skills. The analysis reveals 'adaptability' and 'lifelong approach to CPD' as the two essential personal qualities for future accountants. The practical implications for university accounting education are summarised in a proposed conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework: (1) acts as a roadmap for universities to align their accounting curricula with the developments in professional body syllabi; (2) helps university accounting education teachers to update, enrich, and refocus their teaching and learning approach to the requirements of the 4IR; and (3) promotes the coordination and rationalisation of the skills and personal qualities currently pursued by employability agendas at university, course, and module levels.

“…Human work will continue to be required in Industry 4.0 environments, both for the development of this concept as the management of advanced production systems, and the application of technologies and tools. Change processes necessitate interventions and actions in cognitive, emotional, and psychic aspects (Silva et al 2019). Adequate conditions and environments for human work must be ensured.…”

“…They are aiming to enter and remain in the market, build their career, and obtain equitative wages, stability, intellectual growth, learning and/or professional achievement. Companies rather seek the best possible human performance to increase productivity (Silva et al 2019). Neglecting the human factor will inevitably fail.…”

There is a number of barriers for smaller companies when starting the journey toward Industry 4.0. When implementing new technology and processes, there are often strong mental barriers from people that have been doing the work in a certain manner over the years. In addition to technological challenges, organizational adaptations are required, and a change in mindsets. Using the case of one machining services company, the implementation scenario is described, with the steps necessary to ensure an effective implementation of new technology. The management of visibility is critical for the adoption and success of new systems. Neglecting the human factor will inevitably result in failure. Derived from the case, the chapter draws some conclusions for Industry 4.0 implementation in SMEs in a human-centered manner.

Oil and gas companies have an urgent need for technologies that provide complete and reliable information about the actual state of health and safety of personnel. To solve this problem, the article proposes a concept solution for the development of a system monitoring of the psychophysiological health of workers employed on offshore oil platforms. The concept is based on a person-centered approach and allows monitoring of health of employees simultaneously linking them to the context of the environment. The urgency of the problem is confirmed by statistical data, according to which workers in the oil and gas industry are 8 times more likely to get injured. The article analyzes the specific features of the professional activity of the workers employed on offshore oil platforms and shows that the deterioration of their health and psychological condition due to the long-term “sea environment” is unavoidable. It offers to develop an intelligent system for monitoring the psychophysiological condition of workers employed on offshore oil platforms and to assess its suitability for their position with the reference to the Cattell test and fuzzy patterns recognition. The development and systematic operation of such a system may timely detect undesirable consequences for the health status of workers employed on offshore oil platforms and prevent wrong decisions due to the “human factor”
