The impact of the fourth industrial revolution: a cross-country/region comparison

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution stimulates the advances of science and technology, in which the Internet of Things (IoT) and its supporting technologies serve as backbones for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and smart machines are used as the promoters to optimize production chains. Such advancement goes beyond the organizational and territorial boundaries, comprising agility, intelligence, and networking. This scenario triggers governmental efforts that aim at defining guidelines and standards. The speed and complexity of the transition to the new digitalization era in a globalized environment, however, does not yet allow a common and coordinated understanding of the impacts of the actions undertaken in different countries and regions. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to bridge this gap through a systematic literature review that identifies the most influential public policies and evaluates their existing differences. This cross-country/region comparison provides a worldwide panorama of public policies' durations, main objectives, available funding, areas for action, focused manufacturing sectors, and prioritized technologies. Findings of this review can be used as the basis to analyse the position of a country against the existing challenges imposed towards its own industrial infrastructure and also to coordinate its public policies.

Peningkatan Keterampilan Ilmiah Peserta Didik dalam Pembelajaran Fisika Melalui Penerapan Pendekatan STEM dan E-Learning

“…Digitalisasi dan otomatisasi dalam berbagai sektor ini ternyata membawa dampak munculnya berbagai pekerjaan baru terkait dengan pengembangan AI dan sekaligus menghilangkan banyak pekerjaan yang telah ada (Liao et al, 2018). Misalnya, orang tidak perlu lagi harus berbelanja langsung ke toko karena sudah tersedia situs untuk pemasaran produk sehingga pekerjaan buruh penjaga toko akan semakin sedikit diperlukan di masa mendatang.…”

“…Kedua, revolusi dalam kurikulum dan pembelajaran perlu segera dilakukan. Terkait dengan implikasi kedua, Liao et al (2018) menerangkan bahwa pembelajaran harus lebih mengedepankan pada literasi dan pemahaman mendalam mengenai cara kerja berbagai sistem di dunia dibandingkan hanya belajar melalui tutor robotic. Berdasarkan pendapat tersebut, implikasi besar revolusi industri keempat terhadap pendidikan akan memerlukan perubahan tata kelola pendidikan mulai dari sarana dan prasarana, kualitas guru, kurikulum, serta sistem pembelajaran sehingga mampu dihasilkan outcome yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dunia kerja.…”

Blended Learning and Project Based Learning: The Method to Improve Students’ Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS)

“…The industrial revolution 4.0 is an era of analogous change to the digital age (Maskuriy, Selamat, Ali, Maresova, & Krejcar, et al, 2014). The change of paradigm has an impact on all elements of human life (Liao, Rocha, Deschamps, & Brezinski, 2018;Mcphee, Hudson, & Allahar, 2017;Wagner, Herrmann, & Thiede, 2017;Lase, 2019). It means that the industrial revolution era demands the existence of changes mindset and behavior from traditional to modern.…”

Gestão de resíduos sólidos na construção civil com base nos conceitos da Indústria 4.0

“…Além dessas diretrizes voltadas para o desenvolvimento sustentável, as políticas públicas dos maiores países industrializados, segundo Liao et al (2018), estão voltadas para o desenvolvimento do sistema de gestão para atender a demanda da Indústria 4.0, nas quais incluem melhorias nas exportações, apoio ao crescimento econômico, aumento da competitividade no mercado global e produção sustentável que sejam capazes de aumentar a produtividade sem desperdícios. E para que isso seja possível será necessário grande investimento na área de inovação, além da colaboração mútua entre governo, indústria e universidade.…”
