et al. 2021

This research aims to identify, rank, and create an interplay among the psychological barriers to adopting Industry 4.0 technologies in the manufacturing sector. A comprehensive literature review tracked by a discussion with industry and academic experts recognized 20 barriers. Based on three widely acclaimed statistical techniques, hybrid AHP-TOPSIS (Analytical Hierarchy Process-Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and ISM (Interpretative Structural Modeling), critical psychological barriers have been investigated. A group of 8 experts from industry and academia with at least 10 years of experience was consulted for AHP and ISM techniques. Whereas TOPSIS was conducted by 443 operational-level users, including managers and supervisors of different functional areas of the manufacturing industry located in Pakistan. The findings reveal that ‘Fear of job losses’, ‘Fear of data loss/Risk of security breaches, ‘Lack of advanced & continued education of employees’ and ‘Lack of standards and reference architecture’, with highest importance weights, emerged as the most prominent psychological barriers in developing economies. Then the interrelations among these barriers resulted in a four-layered structural model. The driver barriers identified in the final model advocate that development in ‘advanced & continued education of employees’, ‘standards & reference architecture’ and ‘minimization of fear of job & data loss’ can expedite the adoption of industry 4.0 (i4.0) technologies. The study uniquely develops hierarchical relationships among the psychological barriers for adopting i4.0 in the manufacturing context using AHP-TOPSIS and ISM techniques. The study would be valuable for practitioners, decision-makers and companies that wish to focus their efforts and resources on removing the most critical barriers and challenges for the seamless implementation of Industry 4.0.

“…The training pattern developed on the basis of University 4.0 technology is gradually gaining momentum in today's educational process, though its popularization is uneven in different countries. Hence, for example, the use of the University 4.0 model in Kazakhstan intensified precisely during the pandemic, when all spheres sought a quick way out of the arisen crisis situation [24]. As such, University 4.0 presupposes the use of information and communication technologies, innovations, different mechanisms, as well as an open innovation laboratory developed by researchers from Mexico, which studies and develops modern high-functioning technologies and the possibilities of their implementation in the educational process [25].…”

The study goal was to analyze the impact of using modern technologies and pedagogical innovations based on the University 4.0 model on the educational process effectiveness, the development of professional competencies (in humanities and engineering) and skills in students (abstract-logical thinking, critical thinking, strategic thinking, imagination, creativity, motivation), and learners’ readiness and motivation to shift to University 4.0. The experiment was conducted in the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University among 464 undergraduate students of different academic years. All the study respondents were distributed into two groups, one of which did not change the training program (control group), and the other studied under the program grounded on the University 4.0 model using modern technologies (experimental group). According to the results of the survey addressed to the students of both groups after the experiment ended, the indicators for all parameters were higher among the individuals of the experimental group. The practical significance of the results obtained and further research prospects are in the possibility of using the developed training program in different universities and departments worldwide to compare both students’ readiness for the transition to University 4.0 and the program’s impact on educational outcomes.

The current trend of digitization across companies, namely the Industry 4.0 concept, brings a number of challenges but also promises of future benefits resulting from its implementation. The aim of the paper is to analyze and evaluate the motivation of enterprises for the implementation of Industry 4.0 and similarly, to evaluate the barriers to its implementation. The subjects of the survey represent enterprises in the food industry in the Czech Republic. The results showed the main motivations and barriers to the implementation of Industry 4.0 across food enterprises in the Czech Republic. Correlation analysis expanded the results by the possible influence of the size of the enterprise. An important finding also was that environmental and social factors do not play a significant role in the context of motivation and barriers to the implementation of Industry 4.0.
