Reflection of Digitalization on Business Values: The Results of Examining Values of People Management in a Digital Age

Abstract

The European Union (European Parliament) understands industry 4.0 as a term for an environment of fast transformations of production systems and products. The basic characteristic of the change in the methods of creating added value in the conditions of the fourth industrial revolution is digitalization. Digitalization changes people management in two stages. The first stage is the adaptation of systems to the integration of physical inputs into digital systems, and the second stage is the redefinition of values for the internal and external customer. The purpose of this paper is to examine the content of the first digitalization stage and its impact on the transformation of values of corporate people management in the second stage of digitalization. The study published in this paper points out the level of digitalization applied towards the internal and external customer. The research results verify relations in the portfolio of corporate value and prove their present implementation of digitalization and its and importance for the future sustainability of the business. The study confirmed the independence of the levels of corporate digitalization and companies’ value portfolios. Furthermore, the study proved the universal nature of corporate value orientation, irrespective of the size, business focus or performance of the people management system. Meaningfulness, communication and cooperation dominate in terms of importance for business sustainability. The results of the study in Slovakia support the opinions of published foreign research, which emphasize the importance of introducing technological innovations aimed at employees to a much greater extent.

The Impact of Industry 4.0 on Jobs Creation within the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Family Businesses in Slovakia

“…The relationship between knowledge sharing and incentives was further supported by studies of Slovak authors such as Ližbetinová et al (2020), Stachová et al (2020) and Blštáková et al (2020) who found that there were significant changes in the stimulus system that encouraged individuals to share their knowledge, especially through technology. The forthcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution provides comprehensive systems and tools aimed at promoting information sharing at the individual, team, and organization levels, as well as at a cluster level.…”

Conceptual Comparison of Internal Audit and Internal Control in the Marketing Environment

“…If it is possible to start from the above results, changes can be expected particularly in the timing of both concepts. With the comprehensive digitization of business processes [77,78], planned audits and operational controls will move toward continuous implementation. This has already been confirmed by the theories of Kaban [79] and Bieliaieva [80] about the audit or those of Christensen et al [81] about control.…”
