Task
We all face that industry has changed dramatically in the past two decades since the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution, which has ushered in the era of Industry 4.0. Under Industry 4.0, mobile computers and machines are connected through the Internet, and smart enabling technologies (i.e., Cyber-Physical System (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, etc.) are created through automatic identification physical sensors equipped with tiny computers. Data stored and located in physically separated places are processed and analyzed quickly by numerous computers and applied to manufacture and services, for example, computer-embedded machines and equipment enable the production of the right products/ services to be delivered to the right customers at the right time. On the other hands, from the business perspective, Industry 4.0 drives management research towards creating new concepts and methodologies to realize synergy effects across industries that work together on the same business platform and system. To stay competitive, all firms need to consider and adopt new approaches to innovation, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics.TASK
