Enterprise 4.0: from industry to supply chain

The research report describes the results of the third edition of the RISE research on the topics of Enterprise 4.0. This edition is focused on how paradigm 4.0 is evolving, expanding the boundaries of the survey from the production departments (Industry 4.0) to the relationships among the different players of the value chains (Supply chain 4.0).

The report presents the results of the extensive investigaton carried out between 2018 and 2019, which collected more than 115 respondents from Italian manufacturing companies. The data collected allow us to answer the following questions:

• How far does paradigm 4.0 extend? Did it affect only production or did it extend to other business areas?
• Was the technological evolution of companies accompanied by a consistent organizational transformation process?
• What is the role of skills within this transformation process?
