“…Due to the reasoning presented in Section 2.2.3, a negative relationship was expected. Consequently, previous findings [43,85] are contradicted in the context of implementing Industry 4.0. At first glance, this is surprising and not reasonable.…”

“…Measures for organizational and production fit were derived from literature investigating company characteristics that impede Industry 4.0 implementation [42,43,57,[81][82][83]. Challenges concerning employee qualifications and acceptance lay the basis for items within the respective construct [2][3][4]61,66,78,84,85].…”

“…The effect of trust on implementation of new online technologies underlines this fact [84]. Users' anxieties play a significant negative role in the decision to adopt a new technology [78,85]. Justified by the fact that employees, that is, technology users, are critical success factors and play a decisive role for the implementation and diffusion of a new technology, we add the challenge of achieving Industry 4.0-specific employee qualifications and acceptance to our research model.…”

Abstract:The implementation of Industry 4.0 has a far-reaching impact on industrial value creation. Studies on its opportunities and challenges for companies are still scarce. However, the high practical and theoretical relevance of digital and connected manufacturing technologies implies that it is essential to understand the underlying dynamics of their implementation. Thus, this study examines the relevance of Industry 4.0-related opportunities and challenges as drivers for Industry 4.0 implementation in the context of sustainability, taking a differentiated perspective on varying company sizes, industry sectors, and the company's role as an Industry 4.0 provider or user. A research model comprising relevant Industry 4.0-related opportunities and challenges as antecedents for its implementation is hypothesized. In order to test the model, partial least square structural equation modeling is applied for a sample of 746 German manufacturing companies from five industry sectors. The results show that strategic, operational, as well as environmental and social opportunities are positive drivers of Industry 4.0 implementation, whereas challenges with regard to competitiveness and future viability as well as organizational and production fit impede its progress. Moreover, it is shown that the perception of Industry 4.0-related opportunities and challenges as antecedents to Industry 4.0 implementation depends on different company characteristics.

“…Experience with computers makes students more comfortable with technology and more willing to seek further educational experiences utilizing technology (Haythornthwaite, 2007). Currently, students from more privileged socioeconomic backgrounds are encouraged to develop such habits, making them less anxious regarding technology usage than poorer students (Bozionelos, 2004).…”

“…Therefore, schools in low socioeconomic areas, with poor technological resources, often have the added disadvantage of settling for teachers unwilling to use technology in their classrooms, an attitude subsequently passed to their students (Bozionelos, 2004). Of the teachers in economically disadvantaged schools who do attempt to use technology, usage is mostly confined to classroom management or drill-and-repeat practices (Brown et al, 2001).…”

The Inequities of the Digital Divide: Is E-Learning a Solution?

This article addresses the continuing digital divide in public education, one that defines itself largely along geographic, socioeconomic, and cultural lines. The article refutes the idea that the digital divide is dwindling due to increasing access to technology within the United States, instead focusing on digital literacy and cultural barriers as perpetuating the divide, causing economic, democratic, and social ramifications for those affected. Finally, e-learning is proposed as a potential solution to narrow the divide based on the ability to receive effective instruction without geographic restraints.
