“…The topic is alive and kicking since there is a clear and steadily growing trend of publications (which represents the answer to RQ1). This trend is entirely consistent with what was earlier observed in [118] by considering Google Trends results and the analysis of the literature of Scopus and WoS concerning the general themes of Industry 4.0 and 4th Industrial Revolution. There is also a flight to archival publications since the balance between conferences and journals is steadily shifting towards journals, which represent nearly 60% of the overall volume of papers in 2021 (RQ2).…”

The Industry 4.0 paradigm represents the fourth industrial revolution, embodied by the marriage between information and communication technologies and manufacturing. Assessment campaigns are conducted to examine the status of deployment of that paradigm, mostly through self-assessment questionnaires. Each campaign is typically limited in scope, involving just a group of companies located in a few countries at most. Such limitation does not allow an overall view of Industry 4.0’s diffusion. In this paper, we offer that panoramic view through a systematic literature review. The number of papers devoted to Industry 4.0 assessment grows steadily. However, many papers do not provide essential information about the assessment campaigns they report, e.g., not detailing the number, type, or location of companies involved and the questionnaire employed. We observe a large diffusion in Europe and Asia but not in the U.S., with the Top 5 countries being Malaysia, Poland, Italy, Germany and Slovakia. The campaigns uniformly cover small, medium, and large companies but not all industrial sectors. The choice of questionnaires is extremely varied, with no standard emerging.

“…However, such a measurement is difficult to implement over the mediumand long-term and also entails additional costs. Higher accuracy of the measurements performed can be expected with the implementation of a higher form of digitization [72,73] and Industry 4.0 [49,74]. Despite these limits, the results presented refine current knowledge about audit and control.…”

“…The terms audit and control are specifically situated in the European marketing environment of SMEs. SMEs are the backbone of the marketing environment in today's world and especially in the economy and Industry 4.0, as mentioned by Ferreira et al [48], Kosacka-Olejnik and Pitakaso [49], and Garbellano and Da Veiga [50]. This economic environment has been purposefully narrowed down to the marketing environment according to Godwin [3].…”

Conceptual Comparison of Internal Audit and Internal Control in the Marketing Environment

et al. 2021

There is a conceptual problem in the adequate application of internal audit and internal control in the real business of the marketing environment. Although both of these managerial tools are theoretically defined, they are practically interchangeable in business. This limits their application. It is therefore necessary to focus on both concepts and make the theory and practice more precise or remove any overlaps. The aim of this paper is therefore a theoretical and practical comparison of internal audit and internal control concepts in the marketing environment. To fulfil this purpose and verify the hypotheses, this paper uses computer assisted self interviewing. The research was conducted in Q1 2021 with a sample of 3052 small and medium enterprises from the international environment of the EU 27. The research conclusions show a strong correlation of the theoretical perception of the terms of internal audit and internal control. At the same time, they show a weak correlation with the audit and control tools used in practice. They also define audit as planned independent assurance (soft consultation) and control as operational managerial assurance (hard comparison). This defines and clarifies scientific theories for managerial practice, thus enhancing and increasing the efficiency of internal audits and internal control in the business environment.

“…The key focus of Industry 4.0 is on emerging technology that will have a huge effect on production processes. These innovations include virtual reality, 3D printing, simulation, big data analytics, cloud computing, radio frequency identification, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, machine-to-machine communication, robots, drones, nanotechnology, and business intelligence (BI) [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. These will radically alter manufacturing processes and can be tailored to customer requirements.…”

The birth of mass production started in the early 1900s. The manufacturing industries were transformed from mechanization to digitalization with the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Now, the advancement of ICT and the Internet of Things has enabled smart manufacturing or Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 refers to the various technologies that are transforming the way we work in manufacturing industries such as Internet of Things, cloud, big data, AI, robotics, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, enterprise software, etc. Additionally, the Industry 4.0 concept refers to new production patterns involving new technologies, manufacturing factors, and workforce organization. It changes the production process and creates a highly efficient production system that reduces production costs and improves product quality. The concept of Industry 4.0 is relatively new; there is high uncertainty, lack of knowledge and limited publication about the performance measurement and quality management with respect to Industry 4.0. Conversely, manufacturing companies are still struggling to understand the variety of Industry 4.0 technologies. Industrial standards are used to measure performance and manage the quality of the product and services. In order to fill this gap, our study focuses on how the manufacturing industries use different industrial standards to measure performance and manage the quality of the product and services. This paper reviews the current methods, industrial standards, key performance indicators (KPIs) used for performance measurement systems in data-driven Industry 4.0, and the case studies to understand how smart manufacturing companies are taking advantage of Industry 4.0. Furthermore, this article discusses the digitalization of quality called Quality 4.0, research challenges and opportunities in data-driven Industry 4.0 are discussed.
