The increasing importance of technological solutions in modern economic life should be considered to be the pre-condition for using the conceptual framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 in relation to current changes, in particular the digitisation of production and management processes.
In many cases, the observed technological changes are so important that they require many concepts developed in the field of economics or management to be revised.
The main objective of the undertaken research is to analyse changes taking place in the modern economy and to determine the extent and manner of improving management methods and tools in order to better adjust them to new management conditions.
The Impact of the 4.0 Revolution on Business
The intended research will inter alia include:
- The issue of automation and integration of management processes in the course of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
- Studies on the impact of the Industry 4.0 on the issue of human resources management, especially on the assessment of employee satisfaction and involvement as well as the development of digital competences.
- Improving methods of assessing the effects of business operations carried out in the course of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
- The issue of forging methods to support efficient decision-making processes that require the big data analyses.
- Cyber risk assessment and development of a comprehensive model to reduce risks resulting from the digitisation of the economy.
- Development of data analysis methods adjusted to the current monitoring of electronic business. The research conducted in this area will focus on the issue of text data analysis and the possibility of its application in the conditions of globalisation and networking of business operations.
