“…However, employees' current skills and knowledge do not align with what they should have under digital transformation (Fareri et al, 2023). Kuhn and Lucke (2021) proposed a lowthreshold training concept with a modular approach to internet of things (IoT) technologies and applications for manufacturing employees. Khwakhali et al (2023) showed that brilliant production can facilitate employee empowerment by providing them with the necessary tools, skills, and knowledge, increasing their income and wellbeing, and reducing labour accidents.…”

Purpose: This study explores how manufacturing enterprises can effectively promote digital transformation through employee empowerment with ability, motivation, and opportunity empowerment at different stages.Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on ability, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) theory, this qualitative research takes the Jiangsu Shangshang Cable Group as a typical case to discuss manufacturing enterprises’ evolving employee empowerment model. Gioia structured data analysis method was adopted to analyse the data.Findings/results: In the stage of information technology (IT) application, the main task of employee empowerment is strengthening the employees’ abilities (‘can do’) and motivation (‘want to do’) by training their IT knowledge and skills, changing their mindset towards IT application, and letting them experience the efficiency of the latter. In the intelligence manufacturing stage, training employees to do better is the core content of employee empowerment. Enterprises can strengthen employees’ intelligent manufacturing skills, practice data-based performance appraisal and salary management, and let employees participate in intelligent manufacturing. In the stage of digital transformation of the whole process, employees are required to ‘do their best in the long run’. Enterprises could improve employee collaboration capabilities, build growth mechanisms, and involve every employee in innovation.Practical implications: In the digital transformation process, manufacturing enterprises could empower employees according to the different goals and requirements in the three stages of IT application, intelligence manufacturing, and digital transformation of the whole process. It has reference value for manufacturing enterprises to achieve digital transformation.Originality/value: This study explores a three-dimensional evolving employee empowerment model to promote manufacturing enterprises’ digital transformation.

A new approach to the formation of distributed digital educational ecosystems in territorial production clusters is proposed. This can not only eliminate the shortcomings of the traditional education system, but also create a promising platform for a new modern educational technology. The basis for building such an ecosystem are modern achievements in the field of control systems, digitalization and artificial intelligence. Currently, the education market is seriously influenced by scientific results in the field of artificial intelligence and the rapid development of digital technologies. As practice has shown, it is necessary to take into account quite unpredictable natural disasters and pandemics, as well as the complex geopolitical and economic situation in the world. In these conditions, one of the few serious opportunities for universities to maintain and strengthen their positions in the education market, which will change rapidly in the near future, is the transformation of processes within the framework of new technological trends based on digital platforms of industrial cluster ecosystems. The digital twin can be used both for real-time decision-making and for forecasting and planning the process for the entire training period. The university and the enterprises of the territorial cluster that provide part of the educational services under this approach are integrated into a single mechanism for solving the tasks of flexible individual training in accordance with the needs of the cluster in highly qualified personnel. Within the framework of the proposed approach, it is possible to build a hybrid educational university environment integrated with the real objects of the territory’s economy, which in this case becomes the most important component of the digital educational ecosystem. The proposed concept makes it possible to predict and plan the training of the right specialists, since the entire scheme of the educational process in this case is closely connected with the enterprises of the real sector for the entire period of training. This becomes possible due to the fact that training takes place according to flexible, updated programs that reflect the constantly changing requirements of enterprises to the competencies of employees.

“…The education program can be characterized as a comprehensive program of determining, fulfilling and verifying the goals, content, methods and forms of the educational process, its evaluation, organization and management; the educational program can be divided into modules. An educational program module is understood as a separate, comprehensive, binding, time-and contentrelated educational unit of an educational program [17]. Education can be carried out in the company directly at the workplace during the performance of work or outside the workplace on premises intended for teaching.…”

Education is a process during which new knowledge, skills and attitudes are acquired and developed. The goal of employee education is to ensure qualified, educated and capable workers, necessary to meet the needs of the organization. In order to achieve this goal, employees must be willing to learn and able to take responsibility for their own learning. Education thus becomes a lifelong process. Without the development and training of employees in companies, these companies may lose flexibility, quality and loyalty of employees in the near future, as well as the interest of customers. That is why this article focuses on the importance of education through which business is developed. The following theoretical overview is devoted to the importance of employee education in companies. Significant terms are defined and the meaning of company education for the present and future of the company. The next part is devoted to the system of company education itself, its phases, methods and possible training programs.
