“…The second example relates to the development of 'smart' energy grids in India. Commenting upon this, Kumar (2019) reflects that policymakers and developers appear to perceive them entirely as a technological initiative, ignoring all other dimensions of 'smartness'. However, as he points out, 'a number of social, financial and governmental interventions can also make grids smart, i.e., more efficient, more responsive, more inclusive and more robust.'…”

Technological advances have made possible industrial and commercial applications of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and highly integrated manufacturing systems. It has also freed business activity from a focus on place, as both work activities and markets have been able to harness information and communication technologies in order to operate remotely. As a result, researchers have highlighted a phenomenon of 'smart' working. Some have pointed to a fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) in which 'smart' factories use robotics to achieve high performance. There is now a suggestion of progress towards Industry 5.0, in which technological and social systems work in harmony to deliver personalised mass customization of products and services. This paper examines these developments from the perspective of unique, individual understandings of work roles and sustainability, posing the questions 'Smart' from whose point of view? Do smart systems promote sustainable organizations? How should design of smart systems be approached? It suggests that contemporary socio-technical systems approaches to organizational analysis are the best way to support harnessing of smart technologies in organizations.

“…Mesmo assim, se verifica uma oportunidade da utilização do modelo VAM para modelar a aceitação e o envolvimento do usuário à rede elétrica inteligente. Esta oportunidade está indicada na literatura, com trabalhos mostrando itens que são valorizados por consumidores e aumentariam sua intenção de adoção da rede elétrica inteligente (BERTOLDO; POUMADÈRE; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, 2015;BUCHANAN et al, 2016;KUMAR;, e trabalhos adotando o VAM em produtos semelhantes ao dueto tecnologia-serviço dos medidores inteligentes CHAN;GUPTA, 2007). Também há uma indicação da mesma oportunidade nas ações dos fornecedores de medidores inteligentes, que planejam adicionar valor percebido aos produtos por meio da inclusão de aplicativos (LANDYS+GYR, 2019).…”

“…The process of how smart village is built may also determine its success. Planning (Kumar, 2019;Prinsloo et al, 2018), intervention and government concern contribute to the attainment of smart village (Kumar, 2019). Consideration process on rural authenticity of prod-uct, consumption, practices, software, intra-and inter-coherency or how village represents their originality (Frisvoll, 2013), social as well as environment analysis (Anderson et al, 2017) and growth evaluation process (Edwards & Haines, 2007) are several forming process towards sustainable rural development.…”

The aim of this study is examining learning process undertaken by Klagen, Nganjuk local community in their journey to transform their rural area into a smart village ad what they need to promote their collective learning. The data are collected through two main methods: community dialogue and direct participant observations during village visits and business training, particularly for Klagen’s youth. Thematic analysis, which is grounded on empowerment steps, is performed to interpret the gathered data. Many previous studies examine the outcome of smart village, as the end product. Differently, this study aims to explore the process to develop a smart village, especially at the initial stage and presents development-community education interfaces. The study indicates that to transform their village into a smart village, Klagen community should collaboratively engage in community sharing in which they build shared vision to change, integrate ideas, thinking and social-cultural analysis, observational learning in which they learn from neighbor village model, partnership seeking in which they explore potential networking outside their village area and business-entrepreneurship learning in which the young people learn how to initiate and manage local business. Klagen community needs to integrate their local knowledge, self-building capacity-resources with the empowered skills and knowledge. This study provides an integrated knowledge on education, particularly community education and smart village development, which is a proliferated rural development approach in Indonesia context nowadays. The discussion in this paper is limited to the initial stage of Klagen continuing journey to be a smart village. In this initial stage, the process is focusing on exploring socially and culturally relevant smart village (finding smart village identity), planning and preparing Klagen’s human resources through education.
