Organizational Changes in Manufacturing Companies Under the Conditions of Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is a modern concept that applies digital technologies in manufacturing processes using cyber-physical systems. Most of the recent literature deals with technology features of Industry 4.0 while the organizational aspects are substantially less covered. This fact motivates the need to systematize current knowledge on the subject and to outline potential research directions. The main goal of the paper was to address this challenge by reviewing available scientific articles on topics of organizational changes in the context of Industry 4.0. Specifically, we have explored which current organizational models are more suitable for digital transformation of the manufacturing companies. In addition, we were also interested in what way are organization addressed in proposed frameworks for digital transformation. Research findings imply that Industry 4.0 will have a major impact on existing organizational models, with the concrete organizational changes depending on factors such as industry type, geographical location or current organizational models. These findings lead to the conclusion that there won't be a one-fits-all solution that will facilitate the digital transformation. The used transformation framework will have to take into account specific organizational circumstances.
