Abstract
14
15 Purpose – Industry 4.0 has been one of the most topic of interest by researches and practitioners
16 in recent years. Then, researches which bring new insights related to the subjects linked to the
Industry 4.0 become relevant to support Industry 4.0’s initiatives as well as for the deployment
ark

17
18 of new research works. Considering “Organisational Learning” as one of the most crucial
19 subjects in this new context, this article aims to identify dimensions present in the literature
20 regarding the relation between Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0 seeking to clarify how
21
ing

22
learning can be understood into the context of the fourth industrial revolution. In addition,
23 future research directions are presented as well.
24 Design, methodology/ approach – This study is based on a systematic literature review (SLR)
25 that covers Industry 4.0 and Organisational Learning based on publications made from 2012,
:a

26 when the topic of Industry 4.0 was coined in Germany, using as data basis Web of Science and
27 Google Scholar. Also, Nvivo software was used in order to identify keywords and the
28
nI

respective dimensions and constructs found out on this research.


29
30 Findings – Nine dimensions were identified between Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0.
31 These include Management, Industry 4.0, General Industry, Technology, Sustainability,
nt

32 Application, Interaction between Industry and the Academia, Education and Training, and
33 Competency and Skills. These dimensions may be viewed in three main constructs which are
34 essentially in order to understand and manage Learning in Industry 4.0’s programs. They are:
ern

35 Learning Development, Industry 4.0 Structure and Technology Adoption.


36
Research limitations/Implications – Even though there are relatively few publications that have
37
38 studied the relationship between Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0, this article makes
a material contribution to both the theory in relation to Industry 4.0 and the theory of learning
ati

39
40 - for its unprecedented nature, introducing the dimensions comprising this relation as well as
41 possible future research directions encouraging empirical researches.
42 Practical implications – This article identifies the thematic dimensions relative to Industry 4.0
on

43 and Organisational Learning. The understanding of this relation has a relevant contribution to
44
45
professionals acting in the field of Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0 in the sense of
affording an adequate deployment of these elements by organisations.
al

46
47 Originality/value – This article is unique for filling a gap in the academic literature in terms of
48 understanding the relation between Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0. The article also
Jo

49 provides future research directions on learning within the context of Industry 4.0.
50 Keywords: Industry 4.0, Learning, Manufacturing Industry, Technology, Organisational

6 Industry 4.0 is a "strategic initiative" of the German government adopted as part of the 2020
7
8 High Technology Strategy Action Plan in November 2011 (Ardito et al., 2019), even though,
9
nc
10 since 2006, the purpose has been to promote the effective integration of Industry 4.0,
11 encompassing aspects such as Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data Analysis; Cyber
12
hm
13 Security; profiles of internal and external clients in organizations (Lu, 2017).
14
15
16
It should be taken into account that, since 2006, the German government had been seeking
ark

17
18 a high technology strategy targeted at the coordination of interdepartmental research and
19
20 innovation initiatives, with the objective of guaranteeing a strong competitive position for
21
ing

22 Germany through technological innovation (Yang et al., 2018). Among the characteristics of
23
companies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the fact that they are intelligent, connected
24
25 and act in strategic areas.
:a

nI

29 The focus of Industry 4.0 is on technological products, more agile procedures and
30 processes, in complex environments and subject to disruption and deflection. One of its
31
nt

32 objectives is to connect human beings, machines and equipment in a large communication


33
34 network, targeting mobility, flexibility and the establishment of intelligent networks,
ern

35
36
promoting vertical and horizontal integration (Kagermann et al., 2013; Bauer et al., 2018).
37 According to Bienhaus and Haddud (2018), the digitalization process may bring a number of
38
benefits, including: support for daily administration and business tasks, support for complex
ati

39
40
41 decision-making processes, acquisitions will become more focused on strategic decisions and
42
on

activities. This scenario of Industry 4.0 is changing the way of learning in organizations and in
43
44 the academia (Schuh et al., 2015; Simons et al., 2017).
45
al

46
47
48 Significant researches have been developed on the context of Industry 4.0 such as
Jo

49 Sustainability (Kamble, Gunasekaran and Gawankar, 2018; Jabbour et al., 2018), Lean

Also research efforts related to the main disruptive technologies of Industry 4.0 have been

19 On the sense of the subject of this article, individual and Organisational learning within the
20
21 context of Industry 4.0 is a mandatory aspect in managing complex industrial processes, in
ing

22 which different tasks are carried out by different partners in separate geographic spaces, both
23
24 intra and inter organizations. According to Ardito et al. (2019), Industry 4.0 has had positive
25
:a

26 reflexes in the deployment of Information Technology (IT). Currently, approximately 90% of


27
28
all manufacturing processes already have some form of IT support. Organizations have
nI

29 experimented a number of different ways of disseminating information, with the new


30
31 technologies associated to the principles of Industry 4.0, which are capable of promoting data
nt

32
33 and information integration and interoperability among different companies in decision-
34
making (Chen et al., 2008; Aydin, 2018).
ern

35
36
37
38 For Al-Kurdi et al. (2018), Organisational culture is fundamental in promoting knowledge
ati

39
40 and information sharing, with Industry 4.0 focusing on creating intelligent products, procedures
41 and processes that enable managing complexity with a lower trend to interruptions,
42
on

43 manufacturing goods more efficiently. In intelligent plants, humans, machines and resources
44
45 communicate with each other with the same naturality as in social media (Ardito et al., 2019;
al

46
Tvenge and Martinsen, 2018). In order to survive in such a complex environment, companies
47
48 must be extremely agile and build high levels of capability in resilience and risk mitigation and

50 structural flexibility enabling a quick response to these challenges (Ben-Dayaa et al., 2017;

Soomro et al., 2019).

55 Based on this scenario, authors like Wagner et al. (2012), Hummel et al. (2015), Yang et
56
57 al. (2018), emphasize that concepts related to intelligent factories have been gaining more
58
l

59
relevance due to the Industry 4.0, concepts connected to the so-called Learning Factories

Industry 4.0’s continual professional qualification and development is, currently, one of the
nc
10 priority action areas (Enke et al., 2015). The outcome of the implementation of Industry 4.0
11
12 should be a social-technical plant driven to work and the working system (Kagermann et al.,
hm
13
14 2013). Nonetheless, Organisational learning is an issue that should be approached in its full
15
complexity, implying in innovations in academic training and in the ongoing professional
16
ark

17 development, above all in the areas of engineering, caused by the changes in employment
18
19 profiles and the competencies in the world of work. Thus, the idea of learning is far broader
20
21 than just training, given it involves the lifelong development of competencies and learning
ing

22 (Schein, 1996; McHugh et al., 1998; Baker and Sinkula, 1999; Hancock and Tyler, 2008;
23
24 Kagermann et al., 2013; Steinbuß et al., 2017; Simper et al., 2018). Yet, Organisational
25
:a

26 Learning has a positive mediation between the Industry 4.0’s initiatives and Operational
27
28
Performance (Tortorella et al., 2020).
nI

29
30
31 Also, Organisational learning may be supplemented by a cultural dimension, comprised of
nt

32
33 Organisational values or postures (Schein, 1996). In organizations, this may be an ideology of
34
support for a management Organisational development agenda, often decentralized and in post-
ern

35
36 bureaucratic formats, that explore their workers and transform students into self-disciplining
37
38 collaborators (McHugh et al., 1998; Hancock and Tyler, 2008). For McHugh et al. (1998) the
ati

39
40 learning process in organizations leads individuals to acquiring knowledge, values, behaviors
41 and skills by way of being taught and studying. For Baker and Sinkula (1999), in its turn, the
42
on

43 drive to learning affects directly the capacity to challenge statements or old “truths” about the
44
45 Market and how companies should be organized to deal with them.
al

46
47
48 Thus, given the previously set out context, this research targets answering the following

21 the consequences of human resources should be analyzed (Erro-Garcés, 2019), six broad

Through exhaustive bibliography search of studies published previously, or as yet
nc
10 unpublished, researchers are able to define paths to be followed (Tranfield et al., 2003). The
11
12 method applied in this study followed the one proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003) based on
hm
13
14 three stages: (I) planning the review, (II) performing the review, (III) reporting and disclosing
15
results. As starting point, publications on the topic of “Industry 4.0” or “Industrie 4.0” and
16
ark

17 “learning” on the Web of Science and on Google Scholar, between 2012 and 2019, were
18
19 identified. This period was chosen considering that the interest by Industry 4.0 by for both
20
21 practitioners and academics started from 2012, after the concept has been presented in the
ing

22 Hannover Fair in 2011 in Germany.


23
24
25
:a

26 Liao et al. (2017) mention the fact that, for a systematic literature review to be viable, the
27
28
concepts must be explicitly stated. According to Aydin (2018), the focus of Industry 4.0 lies in
nI

29 technological products, more agile procedures and processes, in a complex environment subject
30
31 to disruption and deflection. One of its objectives is to connect humans, machines and
nt

32
33 equipment, in short, the different resources in a large communication network, targeting
34
mobility, flexibility and the establishment of intelligent networks, with vertical and horizontal
ern

35
36 integration (Al-Kurdi et al., 2018). However, learning by everyone becomes fundamental for
37
38 this connection to take place.

39
40
41 Therefore, this paper’s main contribution is to introduce the dimensions in the relation
42
on

43 between Organisational Learning and Industry 4.0, which provides the view in how learning
44
45 should be understood into this fourth industrial revolution context. Nonetheless, another
al

46
important contribution of this paper is to provide future research directions on this relation,

29 that the interest by this research topic started from 2012 and researches, generally are first
30
31 communicated in refereed conferences. Table 3 shows the distribution of documents by events

41 In energy intensive production industries, developing competencies for reduction of energy

41
42 experience, (II) reflexive observation, (III) abstract conceptualization, and (IV) active

41 Ogorodnyk (2018) and is being used in industrial learning for years for representing a practical
42
on

43 perspective on teaching. The authors mention debriefing as an important aspect in creating


44
45 reflexive students. Debriefing is defined as a facilitator-led simulation experience. Students are
