“…Those solutions certainly require time, but the remodeling of the global economy is already a fact. Unfortunately, the impact of the fourth transformation of the economy has not yet been studied in detail in management sciences (Niemczyk et al, 2019). Therefore, our considerations can be viewed as speculations, although the conclusions are highly utilitarian.…”

Purpose: In the run-up to the disruptions to the economic closure due to the dangers of a global pandemic, the labor market situation developed to the benefit of jobseekers. Thus, 2019 was assessed as the employee market. However, changes in the labor market take place in real time and, as it turns out, meeting them is not only difficult due to the reaction time, but above all due to their intensity. The aim of the article is to present changes in the labor market caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic in relation to the evolution of individual sectors towards economy 4.0. Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve the main goal of the article, theoretical literature review was chosen, in particular argumentative review, which could introduce problems, but certainly constitute the introduction to in-depth research, also empirical. Findings: The article consists of 3 parts. In the first of them, the theoretical definition of the category of competences was made-which is an introduction to considerations of a utilitarian nature. The second part defines what types of competences accompanied the classical labor market. The third part focuses on identifying possible directions of employee competency development, including defining the range of necessary competences resulting from a) the need to adapt to market changes as a result of the pandemic, and b) the evolution of individual sectors towards the 4.0 economy. Practical Implications: They focus on highlighting significant changes that have already begun in the labor market, and the consequences of which will be long-term. These changes relate to the competency requirements of employees of various industries, and thus the phasing out of those sectors of activity that will no longer be crucial for civilization in the future. The forecasts contained in the study are speculative, but nevertheless result from the observation of historical and contemporary changes, in terms of organizations and world economies. Originality/value: In the article we propose an original set of competencies, which are crucial for the emerging new professions that respond to Industry 4.0 and which have been catalyzed by the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

“…The European Commission formulated a digital strategy for the whole EU [58] and presented concerns at the cross-national level on digitalization [59] combined with the energy transition [60]. Then the process of monitoring is important in terms of [53]: energy production of and access to digital technologies [46]; uptake and usage of digital technologies [61,62]; impact of digital technologies [63,64], changes in the economy and on the labor market [65,66]. Besides the anchored in the digitalization process expectations related to the business models development and achieved sustainability [22], there are also identified threats in the energy sector [3,46].…”

Digital transformation is a concept based on the use of digitalization and digitization. Digitalization leads to change of business models and provides a competitive advantage also in the energy sector. The process of change towards a digital business requires a specific strategy type, aimed to solve problems with uncertainty caused by Industry 4.0 implementation. This paper aims to propose a theoretical model combining different digitalization strategies and business models. Their theoretical foundations were discussed in the literature review part and related empirical research questions were attempted to be answered by the reference method analysis. The quantitative method of analysis was based on the secondary data from Eurostat for all EU member states and backed the theoretical part in terms of ICT variables. The novelty of this research is based on Hellwig’s reference method used in management sciences and the presented managerial implications. The discussed challenges of the energy sector are related to the digital strategy implementation, relationships between digital transformation and business models, and solutions for such issues as strategy communication and new roles for managers, who should become digital leaders in the energy sector organizations. The main consequence of the proposed model in this study, for the energy sector companies’ managers, is that uncertainty in modern energy sector organizations is more related to employees and their technical skills than implemented ICT itself.

The aim of the research, the results of which are presented in the article, is to discover new knowledge allowing for the description and design of business models 4.0 using network effects. In their research, the authors reviewed the literature, carried out desk research and conducted an analysis of publicly available documents of selected companies from the Cyfrowy Polsat Group. The results of the study present the possibility of using the network effect in business models 4.0. The paper develops a framework for business model analysis from the perspective of Industry 4.0. The presented research will allow for an indication of the possibility of using a business model from the perspective of Industry 4.0, based on the theory of the network effect in building the value of network organizations.
