“…Almost 64 per cent of the papers discuss this issue (Figure 14). Bobkov and Kvachev (2017) criticize the future changes as a manifestation of the new global order produced by the multitude of local disorders. On the other hand, Trompisch (2017) argues that the use of Industry 4.0 technologies in enterprises will not lead to full automation, suggesting a future scenario of cooperation.…”

“…On the other hand, this process will lead to the loss of jobs and replacement of labor by machinery. "Where there were many factory workers in the previous era, there will be few highly-qualified engineers and programmers in the future" (Bobkov and Kvachev, 2017). Also, digitization can lead to new waves of job shifts in emerging countries with lower labor costs and the growth of precarious work, which is explained as a consequence of the division of labor markets and the changing nature of labor (Kergroach, 2017;Rajnai and Kocsis, 2017;Bobkov and Kvachev, 2017).…”

Smart industry and the pathways to HRM 4.0: implications for SCM

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to address the potential impacts of Industry 4.0 on human resource management (HRM)with a particular focus on employment, job profile and qualification and skill requirements in the workforcewhich can have implications for supply chain management (SCM). Consequently, exploratory relationships among Industry 4.0, HRM and SCM are presented based on a systematic review. Design/methodology/approach -To explore Industry 4.0 literature and its impact on employment, the authors used a systematic literature review to identify, classify and analyze current knowledge, flagging trends and proposing recommendations for future research in this area. Using the Web of Science database, the authors utilized co-citation software to visualize the networks which emerged from recurrent terms and which were then used to develop the categories of analysis. Findings -The authors can affirm that the literature in this field is in a transition process, from the early studies of German academics to the current development of new impacts worldwide. Industry 4.0 is the central theme of the literature analyzed and is accomplished through the development of employment, qualifications, skills and learning frameworks. The results reveal that most papers are conceptual, with quantitative studies still lacking. Developed countries have a leading role in terms of research production, while Latin America and Asia are far behind. Clustering reveals four dominant themes (educational changes, employment scenario, work infrastructure resources and work meaning and proposal). The first refers to labor changes around working conditions, the work environment and new skills which are required. The second main theme concerns the potentially unstable shift in the labor market has toward a high-level context. The third is about the technical interface of humans and machines, and finally, the fourth understands the German industry as a starting point for global industrial improvements and work proposal changes. Furthermore, socio-technical systems cover the implications of HRM for SCM in three different dimensions: qualification and education (human competences), collaboration and integration of SCM (organizational competences) and data and information management (technical competences). Research limitations/implications -An original research agenda for further development of the topic. Additionally, the implications of the findings for SCM practitioners are presented. Practical implications -SCM managers can benefit from the results of this paper by developing adjusted polices for organizational and human aspects. Specially about training programs to improve technology skills and education programs for cyber-human new plataforms. Originality/value -So far, Industry 4.0, HRM-related topics and implications for SCM have generally been considered separately. This paper elucidates the few important studies on the impacts of Industry 4.0 on human-related topics, such as the labor market, building a research framework using the...

“…The effects of these economic, political and cultural changes are the basis for the increased uncertainty that characterises many areas of contemporary life, especially for young people. This generalised uncertainty shows little sign of reversing and represents a new kind of normality in the liberal democracies of the OECD (Neilson & Rossiter, 2008;Kalleberg, 2009;Lorey, 2015;Castel, 2016;Bobkov & Kvachev, 2017). Recent debates about these emerging global processes position precarity not only as a limit or a boundary, but also as a condition that allows the emergence of renewed and ambivalent subjectivations that overflow analytic categories such as class (Della Porta et al, 2015;Armano et al, 2017;Alberti et al, 2018).…”

At a time in which labour markets are becoming increasingly globalised and precarisation processes are altering young people's working and living conditions, a whole network of public and private agencies are developing different entrepreneurship programmes as the main mechanism to deal with youth exclusion and unemployment. Grounded in two ongoing research projects conducted in Europe and Australia, this article proposes a preliminary, thought-provoking engagement with the concept of global grammars of enterprise to examine how the truth regimes are framed and articulated in these networks. We argue that this concept enables us to identify, examine and analyse the shifting, unstable, but always strategic power relations between the governmental discourses on entrepreneurship and the enterprising behaviour and dispositions of persons and groups, and the particular «declensions» and local «translations» of the ideas of entrepreneurship that organisations and young people perform within a process of globalised precarisation.

“…This social structure is unstable. In this nature of instability, the dual nature of both local and global phenomena can be traced, which affects both levels (Bobkov & Kvachev, 2018). Based on this logic, when implementing civil and administrative rights the legal pluralism, which determines the ratio of modernist and traditional values, creates many contradictory but stable regulatory practices especially in the matters of marriage and family.…”
