Industry 4.0 for SMEs by Dominik T. Matt,Vladimír Modrák,Helmut Zsifkovits Pdf

This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies.

Industry 4.0 in Smes Across the Globe: Challenges and Opportunities by Parker Turner Pdf

Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth industrial revolution that began in 2011. It has revolutionized the ways in which companies carry out their operations, and manufacture and distribute their products. The industrial environment is drastically changing with the introduction of technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things (IoT), machine learning, and data analytics. Modern smart technologies are used for analyzing and diagnosing problems that enable the companies to make better decisions without human intervention. Smart manufacturing incorporates computer-integrated manufacturing to increase automation and self-optimization of process improvements. Although Industry 4.0 practices are largely beneficial for all industries, their application in SMEs face certain challenges in terms of safety and ergonomics of the workplace, lazy change management approach, and lack of a roadmap for Industry 4.0 implementation. This book explores the concept of Industry 4.0 for small and medium enterprises. It is a resource guide for professionals and students.

Digital Business Transformation by Rocco Agrifoglio,Rita Lamboglia,Daniela Mancini,Francesca Ricciardi Pdf

The recent surge of interest in “digital transformation” is changing the business landscape and posing several challenges, both organizational and sectoral. This transformation involves the application of digital technology in all aspects of business, and enables organizations to create new products and services, and to find more efficient ways of doing business. Moreover, the digital transformation is happening within and across organizations of all types and in every industry, producing a disruptive innovation that can break down the barriers between people and organizations, and help create more adaptive processes. In the information age, it is imperative for organizations to develop IT-related capabilities that allow them to leverage the potential of digital technologies. Due to the pervasive effects of this transformation on processes, firms and industries, both scholars and practitioners are interested in better understanding the key mechanisms behind the emergence and evolution of the digital business transformation. This book presents a collection of research papers focusing on the relationships between technologies (e.g., digital platforms, AI, blockchain, etc.), processes (e.g., decision-making, co-creation, financial, compliance, etc.), and organizations (e.g., smart organizations, digital ecosystems, Industry 4.0, collaborative networked organizations, etc.), which have been categorized into three major areas: organizing, managing and controlling. It also provides critical insights into how the digital transformation is enhancing organizational processes and firms’ performance through an exploration and exploitation of internal resources, and through the establishment of external connections and linkages. The plurality of views offered makes this book particularly relevant for users, companies, scientists, and governments. The content of the book is based on a selection of the best papers (original double-blind peer-reviewed contributions) presented at the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, which was held in Naples, Italy in September 2019.
