“…As a result of automation, it was assumed that jobs in production processes in particular would disappear, but as it turns out with the entry of communication technologies and their development to the same intensity, some jobs will also disappear in the field of services. Navickas et al (2017) indicate that the biggest boom is, for example, in tourism, where tickets and accommodation are ordered online and the final product is personalized according to the customer's wishes. The second area where we can see changes is banking, where communication with the client begins to lead artificial intelligence, as well as commerce and trade segment is experiencing a significant boom in online sales.…”

New jobs will be created because of the Industry 4.0 concept implementation needs, employers will require new, especially digital skills and abilities from their employees. There is a need to change teaching and educational techniques in all types of schools, and instead of being specialized narrowly in one area, education should focus on a much broader overview, as people need to be educated in systemic and interdisciplinary thinking at all types of schools, including nontechnical ones. The main goal of the study is to identify areas on which the content of education should focused on in the future in terms to Industry 4.0. As research methods, a questionnaire survey was conducted in Slovak companies during the period of February – June 2019 along with statistical methods. The survey was carried out by random selection, 350 companies were contacted with a return of 220 responses. The research outcomes declare that changes in workforce qualification structure related to the Industry 4.0 concept implementation should have a positive effect on increasing the competitiveness of companies and increasing production effectivity. Based on the results it is proposed the expected positive changes should be transformed into enforcing the vocational training in companies and structural changes within the Slovak educational system.

This paper addresses the concept of Sustainability 4.0 in services, which can be defined as an integrated approach that seeks to balance the dimensions of the triple bottom line (economic, social, and environmental factors) using Industry 4.0, enabling technologies to improve organizational processes. This paper aims to identify the contextual relationships between the sustainable solutions of I4.0 based on the principles and pillars of Industry 4.0 in services while using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). The ISM model, composed of 16 sustainable solutions, was developed based on the vision of a law firm manager and validated by 19 experts. As a result, the model presented a six-level hierarchy for sustainable solutions and classified sustainable solutions for law firms as Dependent Sustainable Solutions, Liaison Sustainable Solutions, and Independent Sustainable Solutions. Moreover, this study highlights the importance of sustainable solutions in Industry 4.0 in services, raising awareness of the need for sustainable practices in organizations. Therefore, this research contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge, offers practical guidance for law firm managers, and promotes sustainability in Industry 4.0 in services, benefiting both academia and society.

“…The low share of renewable energy raises concerns, although investments in wind energy are increasing and the benefits of solar energy are being explored. They have a good potential for using biomass (e.g., based on residual materials from agriculture and forestry) (Wijkman & Skånberg, 2016, p.33;Navickas et al, 2017).…”

Economic development is the factor determining the volumes of generated waste, the intensity of production, the level of individual consumption as well as consumption patterns. It results in environmental threats, which are addressed through practical application of the circular economy concept. The key goal of the latter is to manufacture and use products in the most efficient way and also to manage the resulting waste in an economically and environmentally appropriate manner. In relation to the above, the purpose of the article is to conduct a multivariate comparative analysis covering the European Union countries in terms of their levels of circular economy implementation, with special attention being paid to Poland. The article discusses the concept of circular economy, its principles and major activities. The EU and national-level documents which describe the basics of circular economy are briefly overviewed. The empirical research was carried out using multivariate comparative analysis based on the indicators describing circular economy implementation in all European Union countries. The final part of the article assesses the level of circular economy implementation in Poland specifically.
