This Conference Proceedings volume contains the written versions of
the contributions presented during the The Fourth Industrial
Revolution: The Future of Work and Implications for managers
Conference (4IRC 2018) that is held at TH and Residence, Kota
Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia on the 12 & 13 April 2018.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR – or Industry 4.0) is the
digital transformation in society and business which involves an
interface between technologies in the physical, digital and
biological disciplines. It is distinguished from earlier industrial
transformations by its speed, scope, and broad global impacts, most
of which include the ‘transformation of systems of production,
management and governance’ (Klaus Schwab). Emerging technology such
as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things,
autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology,
materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing, represent
just the tip of this technology iceberg. New technological
applications include driverless cars, trucks and trains,
“cashier-less” shops, robotic doctors, lawyers, farmers, mechanics,
construction workers, tutors, insurance agents and bank tellers,
amongst many others.
Challenges and opportunities presented by 4IR include the potential
to raise global income levels, improve the quality of life, and also
lead to supply-side benefits such as long-term business efficiency,
productivity, and national economic growth. On the downside,
significant workplace changes and the replacement of (particularly)
low and medium skilled jobs by robots, are anticipated. In the
latter aspect, McKinsey and Company predict that half of all
existing work activities could be automated by currently existing
technologies, saving some US $16 trillion in wages. They suggest
that revenues from artificial intelligence will increase to more
than US $47 billion by 2020. Industries attracting the most
investment include automated customer service, quality management
and recommendations, medical diagnosis and treatment, and fraud
analysis and investigation. Schwab (2017) suggests that the 4IR will
have four main impacts on business – namely, ‘on customer
expectations, on product (and service) enhancement, on collaborative
innovation, and on organizational forms’.
