Key aspects of technological leadership within the context of fourth industrial revolution

Abstract

This paper focuses on the key aspects of the technological leadership within the context of the fourth industrial revolution (also known as technology 4.0). Technology (or also "Industry") 4.0 is viewed as having a significant impact on today's world economic and social progress. The fourth industrial revolution is having a significant transformative impact on the global income levels and the quality of life of people all around the world. Nevertheless, in comparison with the previous industrial revolutions, fourth industrial revolution is tackling the physical, digital, and biological aspects of the development of the economy (e.g. biotech technologies). In addition, information technology became a ubiquitous part of human lives with such aspects as smart homes, smart cities and artificial intelligence dictating the pace of the economic growth and development. We show that it is very important to focus on these aspects of economic growth in order not to miss the breakthrough innovations that would ensure any country keeping up with the technological progress a leading position on the world's market. In general, our results show that poor leadership could be the biggest obstacle to a successful fourth industrial revolution strategy.

Innovation as a factor in increasing the efficiency of soybean production in the Amur Region

“…"Biologized technology of potato cultivation" developed in the Far Eastern State Agrarian University is included in the register of the Best basic technology by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation (BBT, Rosinformagrotech, 2016) [12]. It is recommended for widespread implementation in the Far Eastern region, obtaining environmentally friendly products, increasing production efficiency.…”

Experimental study of wind impact on multilevel industrial scaffolding

“…The aerodynamic aspects of the framework type structures are important in the design of buildings, calculation of air flows inside the building, evaluation of a building's influence on the air flow mode of the neighborhood, optimum selection of enclosures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The calculation of the wind impact influence during the design of framework-type structures is guided by codes having much in common [10]. The codes do not show the protection shielding procedure, the analysis of the wind impact on the structure for different arrangement conditions -angle of attack of the wind impact on the structure.…”

“…The codes do not show the protection shielding procedure, the analysis of the wind impact on the structure for different arrangement conditions -angle of attack of the wind impact on the structure. During the design of such structures, the codes prescribe dummy testing in architectural and civil wind tunnels [10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…The structure has the length l   , the height The angle between the impact vector of the approach wind flow and the frontal surface of the structure, called "angle of attack", is variable. This paper handles a method of experimental modeling of the wind impact on the industrial scaffolding [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Different positions of the structure are studied experimentally at a constant wind direction.…”

Attitudes in the motivational sphere and Change readiness of university students

“…An understanding of innovations in various fields of activity, in particular, in education, is proposed within the framework of different approaches (systemic, systemicanthropological, semantic and others), the components of innovative activity, its conditions and factors have also been studied [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The role of collaborative thinking activity in the organization and implementation of innovations is shown, which is impossible without appropriate attitudes and motives [3].…”
