“…We add the strategy 'regenerate' to account for two additional aspects that are important for 'cleaner production' [58] and that have been stressed in early conceptions of the circular economy [5]: the minimized use of toxic substances; i.e., substances that are persistent and liable to bio-accumulate [59], and the need for an increase of renewable materials and energy in a circular economy [4,55]. In addition, we include 'inform' as a support strategy for firms because several publications have emphasized the importance of information technology in enabling a circular economy [57,[60][61][62][63]. The blue line in Figure 2 indicates the key strategies that can influence material and energy flows.…”

“…Finally, informing refers to using information technology as a support strategy for the circular economy [57,[60][61][62][63]93,94]. We include this support strategy because several practice and research projects have highlighted the importance of information technology for a circular economy; for example, the role of artificial intelligence [63], the internet of things [93,94], big data [95], or online platforms [57].…”

A Tool to Analyze, Ideate and Develop Circular Innovation Ecosystems

The circular economy may help firms to maximize the value of their material resources and minimize the overall resource use, waste, pollution and emissions of their business activities. Implementing a circular economy program requires radical changes in product, business model and ecosystem innovation. Most research on circular oriented innovation takes a product or business model perspective. Few publications have explored how to innovate in ecosystems: how a group of loosely coupled organizations can change how they interact with each other to achieve a collective outcome. This study proposes the Circularity Deck: a card deck-based tool that can help firms to analyze, ideate and develop the circularity potential of their innovation ecosystems. The tool is based on a literature review of circular oriented innovation principles, and of practical examples that show how these principles have been applied. The principles are organized according to the intended circular strategy outcome that they pursue (i.e., narrow, slow, close, regenerate and inform material and energy flows), and the extent of the innovation perspective that is needed to operationalize a principle (i.e., product, business model, or ecosystem innovation). This review and categorization process first produced a novel analysis of the circular economy innovation landscape, using an ecosystem perspective. Second, these results served to develop the Circularity Deck, which was further developed and tested for ease of use and perceived usefulness in 12 workshops with 136 participants from 62 different organizations. The Circularity Deck provides an approach for future research and practice to integrate new principles and examples that can help firms to analyze, ideate and develop circular innovation ecosystems.

“…Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive picture, while other reviews surrounding the research field Industry 4.0 have focused on special aspects of the term, such as: -edge computing [16]; -additive manufacturing/three-dimensional printing [17]; -cyber-physical production systems [18]; -construction industry [19]; -remanufacturing [20]; -environmentally-sustainable manufacturing [21,22]; -interactions with the energy system [23].…”

Generating Transparency in the Worldwide Use of the Terminology Industry 4.0

et al. 2019

In 2011, the concept of Industry 4.0 was introduced and later adopted by the German government, paving the way for a new industrial revolution in Germany. The high significance of this topic is reflected by the large number of corresponding publications. Additionally, the regional focus of research is widespread on a global level and often differs even at a national level. This paper generates transparency regarding the adoption of the concept of Industry 4.0 by analyzing the locations of main contributors within the research field on an international, European, and German-national level. Further, it examines the regionally different foci concerning the concept of Industry 4.0. Having identified four main aspects linked to Industry 4.0 within a pre-study, a quantitative literature research was conducted based on over 800 published papers. The results were further visualized with QGIS. Looking at the results, it can be concluded that the German research community is virtually the only user of the term Industry 4.0, while other institutions seem to link their research to other related concepts. On a German level, the majority of the analyzed studies originate from Southern and Western Germany. North Rhine-Westphalia and the Aachen/Jülich region, in particular, represent main contributors.

“…Active use of Internet technologies, telecommunication means in full-time educational process allow to speak about introduction of innovative processes by means of which there are changes of the various plan: the purposes and the maintenance of curricula, forms and methods of training change. By means of Information technologies, teachers and students can use Internet services that help facilitate learning and speed up the educational process [11,13,15,18].…”

Interpersonal communication affects the state, behavior, attitudes, regulation of joint activities of all participants. The purpose of this study is to theoretically and experimentally prove the possibility of using breakthrough information technologies in the future managers' professional and communicative competence formation in a university. To achieve the aim the following tasks were stated: to determine the potential of breakthrough information technologies in the formation of professional and communicative competence of future managers; to develop the methodological support to the integrative technology and to check methodical and pedagogical efficiency of introduction of breakthrough information technologies in the process of future managers' professional and communicative competence formation. SWOT-analysis of the structure and content of the classification model of professional and communicative competence and SWOT-analysis of information technologies application in the educational process in order to form professional and communicative competence of future managers were made. It is noted that information technologies application is aimed at creating such forms and methods of future managers' professional and communicative competence formation, which provide effective disclosure of the individuality of the student, his/her cognitive processes, personal qualities, development of intelligence.
