“…Automation will be increasingly important [8]. Consequently, the qualifications and skills of the skilled labor, which are required to fulfil the tasks occurring in a factory of the future, will differ as well [10,11,12,13,14]. In Industry 4.0, dynamic business and engineering processes enable last-minute changes to production and deliver the ability to respond flexibly to disruptions [15,16,17,18,19].…”

Dynamic development of manufacturing Industry 4.0 is a result of some processes, for example: internationalization, information technology development and also hyper competition. The demand for special skills will drive the shift of job creation within the Industry 4.0 requiring more qualified managers. The high tech manufacturing environment will need both skilled managerial labor and production labor with expertise to work with new materials, machines, and especially information. The demand for special skills will drive the shift of job creation within the Industry 4.0 requiring more qualified managers. The purpose of this article is to find the answer to the following question: what kind of competencies needs contemporary managers to cope with new challenges in Industry 4.0? In this paper the literature review in question has been a point of departure for empirical studies. The presented study contributes to research by providing a starting-point for further research regarding employee competencies for Industry 4.0.

“…The literature review about the popularity of aspect of simulation of sustainable supply chain was made using the Scopus database. Simulation is an important element in the study of sustainable supply chains [11], sustainable world [20], supply chain simulation [21], production and distribution [22], food supply chain management [23] and discrete production processes [24]. The authors decided to use different searching methods for showing differences in the number of articles.…”

The development of the global economy affects the environment in which we are living, often in negative ways, including pollutions, exhaust emissions, depletion of natural resources, and other concerns. Therefore, it is so important to use resources in a reasonable, sustainable manner and to be aware of the impact of our activities on the environment, which in the next stage translates into trying to limit negative impacts to the environment. Aspects of sustainable supply chain (SSC) have become more and more popular in the last years. Entrepreneurs pay more attention to the aspect of sustainable development in their activities, especially to exhaust emissions. The rational use of resources is also a very important topic. Not only economic aspects but also environmental and social topics are taken into account in company politics, which is characteristic of sustainable development. The main purpose of this article is to show the benefits of SSC. For this purpose, the simulation models showing the supply chain and the sustainable supply chain will be built. The benefits of SSC in economic and environmental aspects will be presented using a computer simulation tool. Using a simulation tool fits in with sustainability; thanks to modeling supply chains in their virtuality and analysis, many resources can be saved in reality (for example, thanks to the consolidation of freight).

“…Faced with an increasingly unstable economy triggered by the global pandemic, many economists ask today whether the existing competence patterns in companies or supply chains are still appropriate in the current economic situation. The qualifications and skills of the skilled labor, which are required to fulfil the tasks occurring in a factory of the future, will differ as well (Kowalski & Juszczyński, 2013;Kłosowski, Gola, & Świć, 2016;Hirsch-Kreinsen, 2014). In Industry 4.0 and uncertain environment, dynamic business and engineering processes enable last-minute changes to production and deliver the ability to respond flexibly to disruptions (Jasiulewicz-Kaczmarek, Saniuk & Nowicki, 2016;Waszkowski, Kiedrowicz, Nowicki, Wesolowski, & Worwa, 2016).…”

Purpose: The aim of the chapter is to present the competence patterns before and during the economic crisis and to determine the importance of individual competences for doing business in a turbulent environment. In many sectors of the economy, global changes triggered by Covid-19 called into question the use of existing sets of competences needed to run businesses effectively in supply chains. The continuous improvement of supply chains – or lean and agile management – will no longer work in current conditions. Faced with an increasingly unstable economy triggered by a global pandemic, many economists ask whether the existing competence patterns in companies or supply chains remain appropriate and proper for the current economic situation. Design/methodology/approach: In 2017, a survey was conducted among selected experts in the pharmaceutical sector. The same questionnaire distributed in September 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The experts were highly qualified managers employed in transnational companies. The 10 respondents were asked to indicate selected competencies. The choice of the pharmaceutical sector was motivated primarily by its specific characteristics as it is particularly important not only economically but also socially, by providing life-saving medicines. Findings: Technical competences are becoming the necessary ones. This is due to the need for self-sufficiency in lockdown situations, when it is difficult to find external employees and the possibility of outsourcing skills. In the case of managerial competence, it is clear that creativity and entrepreneurial thinking have increased in importance. When analyzing social competences, what comes to the fore is diversity of intercultural skills: foreign language skills, the ability to compromise, the ability to transfer knowledge, and finally, the ability to adapt to change. Originality and value: This chapter answer what competences seem necessary for future managers in the pharmaceutical industry in a turbulent environment, which is crucial for research and teaching centers who seek to educate future managers at the highest level of specific competences and skills. Due to the dynamic development of the industry, the text identifies the needs in the areas of technical, managerial, and social skills.
