Ethiopia, India and Bangladesh are raising economic power, but have not yet integrated very much with
the global economy and still have not achieved their potential in context of technology, globalization, and
international competitiveness like developed countries. These countries have much strength, but at the same
time , are facing many challenges in the increasingly competitive and fast changing global economy.
The main key strengths of these courtiers are their large domestic market, young and growing population, a
strong private sector with experience in market institutions, and a well developed legal and financial system.
In today’s environment of global competition, technological development and innovation; companies,
especially manufacturing, are forced to reconfigure their manufacturing and management processes.
Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing are part of a transformation, in which manufacturing and
information technologies have been integrated to create innovative systems of manufacturing, management
and ways of doing business. This system allows optimizing manufacturing, to achieve greater flexibility,
efficient production processes and generate a value added proposal for their customers, as well as to provide
a timely response to their market needs.
The objective of this work is to explore the Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, environment requirement
and relation of innovation in perspective of developing countries.
Does value chain participation facilitate the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in developing countries?
