We live in a time which is determined by rapid technological development, increasing automation, creating electronic services and implementing robots. The current Fourth Industrial Revolution is not just about technology or business, it is also about society, the quality of life and the integration of new technologies where humans and robots interact. New technologies create space for job opportunities that will require specific kinds of skills. Today, computers and machines can do a high level of work involving routine and manual work, but they cannot replace some analytical, creative and, most importantly, social skills. An education and employment policy is needed to transform the trends and challenges of the digital economy. The aim of the contribution is point to the theoretical background of the digital transformation of society and define the level of robot skills acquisition. Moreover, it identifies the life situations and sectors where respondents from Slovakia would accept the presence of robots and the article compares data with a survey conducted by 168 students of Zilina university. The contribution also focuses attention on the approach to the relationship between human and the robot and the perceived benefits of using robots from the point of view of citizens.

The Empirical Analysis

Abstract The article explores whether sociotechnical imaginaries of digitalization as inevitable accelerating development can be traced in Denmark’s official policy papers concerning digitalization 2015–2020. It identifies imperatives of speed, acceleration and agility equal to what has been described as a corporate data imaginary as well as tropes of an imaginary of the fourth industrial revolution and inevitable exponential technological development and disruption. The empirical analysis discovers a shift in the studied period mid-2018, before which inevitabilism is prominent and after which the focus on non-economic values increases and the aim of influencing the development, instead of adapting to it, emerges. The article then addresses how imperatives of acceleration and narratives of inevitabilism may be considered problematic from a democratic point of view employing Hartmut Rosa’s critical diagnosis of the acceleration society and the notion of discursive closure. Finally, it discusses the empirical findings in light of technological determinism and constructivism inherent in the notion of sociotechnical imaginaries and introduces a sociotechnical selectionist theory allowing both for human agency in technological development while also providing a mechanism for explaining the emergence of law-like technological trends, as Moore’s Law, at macro level.

Smart Ports

The fourth industrial revolution is characterized by a high level of digitalization of systems and processes. This revolution has reached the Spanish ports. They have been investing for years in the implementation of new technologies, aimed at promoting sustainability and environmental quality, as well as seeking a more efficient and orderly logistics. Ports are moving towards their digital transformation, which is materialized in the well-known Ports 4.0. These intelligent ports, or Smart Ports, cover a multitude of aspects and variables. Automation, digitalization, technologies that allow interoperability, transparency, decentralization, and customer experience define the context of the application of the concept 'Ports 4.0' to the Spanish logistics-port sector. How to achieve a satisfactory digitization process that allows progress towards Port 4.0 in the Spanish port system is one of the questions being raised recently. The Spanish port world could be represented by a red ocean, since in a very generalist way it can be said that it is a marked described by a fierce competition lacking in differentiation. Therefore, with this proposal, the aim is to take the Spanish port system to a blue ocean, where a suitable strategy and innovation generate leaps in value that make competitors irrelevant because customers compare different products and services. To be able to respond to this, the Blue Ocean Strategy is planted, leaving aside the competition between ports and generating new demand. From the study carried out, it is concluded that Spanish ports still have a long way to go in terms of sustainability. It also concludes that a new management model would mean the innovation in value that is necessary for the process towards ports 4.0.

RESUMENEl actual contexto socioeconómico obliga a realizar una revisión profunda del sentido del trabajo en la población. En momentos de escasez de oportunidades laborales y de redefinición del sentido y el significado del trabajo muchas personas consideran la opción del autoempleo como alternativa al desempleo y la precariedad laboral. Sin embargo, informes oficiales muestran altas tasas de abandono de los proyectos empresariales en sus primeros años. Con la intención de conocer las razones de esta situación, se centra la atención en analizar el papel que juega la orientación profesional en las fases iniciales del emprendimiento para favorecer una reflexión profunda sobre los motivos y las motivaciones que llevan a emprender. Para ello, mediante el análisis bibliométrico se analiza el tratamiento que la comunidad científica ha realizado de la orientación profesional como impulsora del emprendimiento. El método Delphi completa la investigación, que permite una aproximación a la esfera profesional, a través de las opiniones de emprendedores noveles. La triangulación de estas dos metodologías permite generar un espacio de análisis que permite redefinir el modo de actuación de la orientación profesional frente al emprendimiento. Los resultados ponen de relieve la necesidad de avanzar en el diseño de propuestas orientadoras y formativas que motiven al emprendimiento desde una visión integral.ABSTRACTThe current socioeconomic definition requires a deep revision of the meaning of work in the population. When job opportunities are limited and the meaning of work is redefining itself, many people consider the option of self-employment as an alternative to unemployment and job insecurity. However, official reports show high rates of abandonment of business projects in their early years. To understand the reasons for this high level of business failure, we focus our attention on analysing the role that professional guidance plays in the initial phases of entrepreneurship to encourage a deep reflection on the reasons and motivations that lead to undertake a business project. We apply bibliometric analysis to analyse the scientific community’s treatment of professional orientation as a promoter of entrepreneurship. We further complete our investigation with the Delphi method, which allows us to approach the real sphere: the opinion of novice entrepreneurs. Using these two methodologies allows generating a space of analysis that permits to redefine the way of acting of the career guidance in front of the entrepreneurship. The results highlight the need to advance the design of guiding and training proposals that motivate entrepreneurship from a holistic point of view.
