“…Again, although new methods and tools were developed to provide guidance and support to align companies' business strategies and operations [19,40], much more theoretical and empirical effort is further needed to develop and propose methods and tools that specifically address dedicated companies' areas for Industry 4.0 implementation, such as logistics, supply chain management, manufacturing processes, etc. [41]. Accordingly, although we just started from logistics processes, there is surely a space for future research both in other companies' functions and sectors of activity.…”

The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has become particularly important nowadays for companies in order to optimize their production processes and organizational structures. However, companies sometimes find it difficult to develop a strategic plan that innovates their current business model and develops an Industry 4.0 vision. To overcome the growing uncertainty and dissatisfaction in implementing Industry 4.0, new methods and tools that specifically address dedicated companies' areas, such as logistics, supply chain management, and manufacturing processes, were developed to provide guidance and support to align companies' business strategies and operations. In particular, this paper develops and presents the application of a maturity model for Logistics 4.0, focusing on the specific applications of Industry 4.0 in the area of logistics. To do so, extant maturity models, linked to the context of Industry 4.0 implementation in logistics processes, were examined in the main scientific research. Afterward, two companies have been investigated through a survey, built around three fundamental macro-aspects, named (i) the propensity of the company towards Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0, (ii) the current use of technologies in the logistics process, and (iii) the investments' level towards Industry 4.0 technologies for a Logistics 4.0 transition. By doing so, a maturity model for Logistics 4.0 emerged as the main result of our research, able to identify the level of maturity of companies in implementing the Industry 4.0 technologies in their logistics processes. Moreover, the model highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the two investigated companies with respect to the transition towards Logistics 4.0. On the basis of the obtained results, a roadmap for enhancing the digitalization of logistics processes, according to the principles of the fourth industrial revolution, was finally proposed.Sustainability 2020, 12, 86 2 of 18 At the intersection of these three pillars lie organizational activities that have a positive effect on the environment and result both in long-term benefits and in an increased competitive ability. According to Strandhagen et al. [1], the sustainability development can be considered a crosscutting capability for individual companies, since it requires the entire company to change its way of thinking. Accordingly, sustainability is becoming an important element of business models that radically changes the way companies operate. Currently, there is an increasing attention toward the management of social and environmental impacts in business, which makes the integration with environmental, economic, and social issues an obvious choice to ensure the company's long-term stability and development.In addition, at a more operational level, it can be very important for companies to redesign their logistics processes in order to achieve specific sustainability targets [2]. On this point, Industry 4.0 technologies can effectively help to achieve the desired sustainability targets in the logistics ...

Throughout the last decade, Internationalization becomes highlight of Higher Education implementation all over the world. Internationalization is strategy of Higher Education to increasing its quality, using international factors as implementation institution standard. Internationalization of Higher Education comes with two different perspectives which is the opportunity to increase the quality of Higher Education or otherwise it could become global competitiveness threat. After Industrial Revolution 4.0, implementation of Internationalization of Higher Education gathers so much attention. Many countries around the world have developed implementation of Internationalization in the time of Industrial Revolution 4.0. However, some countries still facing many challenges such as: integration of Internationalization with the state policy and the limited resources of Higher Education institution. In order not to left behind, a country should simultaneously accelerate Internationalization with technological reinforcement. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the developing of Internationalization in Industrial Revolution 4.0 and to discover new resource for future research. Systematic Literature Review being used as methodology to find the purpose of this paper. This paper could be used as literature for Internationalization of Higher Education and help stakeholder to make policy in the future.

Reliability is essential in industrial networks. In addition, most of the data from nodes of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are generated in real time. Thus, those data are mainly used for the time-sensitive applications. Furthermore, device failures should be considered when modeling reliable fog computing for IIoT. In this paper, we provide fundamental aspects to model reliable fog computing for IIoT. First, existing models of fog computing are compared. Then, the most feasible communication type to achieve a reliable system is determined from model analysis. Interaction modes are elaborated to study the advantages and drawbacks when communication is deployed in fog computing for IIoT, and challenges and solutions for reliable fog computing are discussed.
