Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Business and Management
by Bernardino Quattrociocchi, Mario Calabrese, Francesca Iandolo, Francesco Mercuri
The so-called Fourth Industrial
Revolution has prompted companies to adapt to a new business paradigm
based on digital interconnection and the ability to respond quickly to
the needs of consumers and users.
These
conditions are closely related to the advent of digital technologies
that enable the real-time integration of devices and the control of
production systems through technological platforms.
Based
on this logic, this volume aims to investigate the forms and methods
being used by the company at present to confront the new business
paradigm, commonly known as Industry 4.0, as well as the impact of new
digital technologies on corporate evolutionary dynamics and related
business models. More specifically, technological challenges will
assess the impact of new technologies on productivity and investment in
complementary resources―including human, organizational, and
managerial capital―as well as the effects related to the introduction
of Internet of Things (IoT)-based production processes.
By
following this approach, the focus subsequently shifts to drone
technology, which is considered by many to be one of the most
revolutionary Industry 4.0 technologies. In addition to investigating
the history and potential applications of drones, many of which proved
to be fundamental during the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume emphasizes
the related ethical and social aspects such as the degree of knowledge
regarding and the public acceptance of drones. The academic and
professional approach of this volume allows it to serve as a guide for
professionals, entrepreneurs, and academics with a particular interest
in both digital innovation and the drone sector.
