Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on a neo-institutional theory to characterize service-oriented manufacturing firms in relation to more familiar organizational forms, such as lean and agile. It sheds light on whether being lean is a prerequisite for agile organizations and whether agile organizations are precursors of service-oriented organizations. The book empirically examines the prevalence of such organizations using representative samples of manufacturing firms in an industrialized country. This approach makes it possible to “zoom in” and determine whether the extent of adoption of digital manufacturing innovations, digital services, and service-oriented business models varies with organizations’ size, industry, product complexity, lot size, type of design process, and type of manufacturing process. In turn, it shows which digital manufacturing innovations, lean practices, and services contribute to leanness-related performance capabilities like quality and costs; agility-related capabilities like fast delivery, flexibility and innovation; and service-oriented capabilities like high service performance and digitalization. In addition, it explores the question of whether lean, agile, and service-oriented performance capabilities contribute to financial performance separately or jointly.

Download or read book Human Resource Management and Digitalization written by Franca Cantoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitalization is changing the world of work. Technology is shifting the relationship between workers and machines and how work is organized; new skills are becoming increasingly relevant in the workplace where workers no longer work for a single company, in 9-to-5 jobs, five days a week. Industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is revolutionizing the way managers can design, control and improve their activities. While the nature of the tasks and the interdependences between individuals are changing, the impact of intelligent technologies is severely questioning the span of control of leaders and the effectiveness of their leadership styles. The authors sketch out the main changes occurring in the business landscape and identify the new expectations that organizations are formulating for leaders across several industries. In an age in which new leadership models are about to emerge, they describe how the relevant changes impact and shape the managerial arena. This book sets the stage for a new way of thinking on the nature of the relationship between HR and technology. It examines the influence of Industry 4.0 and Innovation 4.0, (i.e. the connection between physical and digital processes in industrial production, where human competencies and machine potential are strictly interconnected throughout the entire value chain), from a myriad of viewpoints: namely in terms of structures, practices, influences (learning, training and communication), competencies and roles. A chapter is also dedicated to the understanding of the impact of Innovation 4.0, in the context of European Universities through E-learning Experiences where a multiple-case study analysis is provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies.

Download or read book Organizations and Industry 4 0 written by Vojko Potočan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known models for assessing the readiness and level of Industry 4.0 implementation are helpful in revealing key technological and non-technological aspects relevant in the frame of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations. At the forefront are technological aspects of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations, while non-technological aspects play a marginal role. Building upon ample evidence about the role of non-technological aspects of Industry 4.0 implementation in organizations, this book addresses these ever-important non-technological aspects. The authors address the role of management solutions in the framework of Industry 4.0 implementation through the utilization of various management tools, which support organizations working in all organizational areas. The importance of humans for Industry 4.0 is currently severely neglected, despite the many changes in the workplace. Thus, new challenges for human resource management (HRM) have emerged, such as technostress, human–robot interaction (HRI), and new tasks for employees. Non-technological aspects of Industry 4.0 are broadly influencing entire organizations, as the management tools support the working of organizations in all areas. Focusing on non-technological aspects of Industry 4.0 implementation, this book considers the utilization of traditional management tools as a key vehicle for supporting implementation in organizations. In terms of the importance of humans for implementation, at the forefront are changes in the workplace due to Industry 4.0, HRIs, and changing HRM practices. This book will be of value to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of organizational studies, HRM, and change management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Information Classification: General Smart Business and Digital Transformation Beginning in the mid-2010s, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has seen remarkable changes in information technology which have blurred the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological worlds. Industry 4.0 has enabled so-called "smart factories" in which computer systems equipped with machine learning algorithms can learn and control robotics with minimal need for human input.

This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers practical insight into the changing ways in which organizations operate today. Building on a groundbreaking concept of teal organizations, the book illustrates the practicality of advocating a lack of hierarchy of predetermined positions and the introduction of roles that come with clear responsibilities constantly defined according to current needs. First described by Frederic Laloux, a teal organization is a ground-breaking approach to managing organizations that is being adopted around the world, which turns everyone into a leader. This new paradigm rests on the ideas of wholeness, evolutionary purpose, employee autonomy, and self-management based on peer relationships. Its main assumption is the empowerment of the employee resulting in a change in workplace relationships and a more soulful and purposeful work environment. Drawing on the authors’ research across six different countries, it presents the evolution of self-management and entrepreneurial culture in the current age of Economy 4.0 and examines how the teal concept has been implemented around the world. It examines misconceptions surrounding this novel approach and diagnoses the practical problems connected with implementing it in the current uncertain times. It will be of value to researchers, academics, managers, and students in the fields of management and organizational studies.
