In the short history of Hungarian industry there were relevant changes several times, which had a great impact not only on industrial production and employment, but also on the spatial pattern of industry. After the regime change and latest economic crisis Industry 4.0 or/and the fourth industrial revolution mean(s) newer challenge. Due to information and communication technologies (ICT), which can be considered the basis of Industry 4.0 radical changes can be expected in all fields of life and numerous questions will emerge. The primary aim of this paper is to reveal the geography of older and newer information and communication technologies and their relationship with the spatial pattern of Hungarian industry. The main question is whether the digital divide follows the industrial divide in the Hungarian economic space or not. According to the analysis based on different ICT and industrial indicators, there is no close correlation between the digital and industrial spaces. The geography of Industry 4.0 is characterised by a sharp north-south division.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in the development of any economy. The disruptive technologies of the fourth industrial revolution have ignited the flexibility and dynamic nature of the market. Industry 4.0 requires firms to deliver highly customized and high-quality products at low price and on time. However, the SMEs sector is not performing up to the standard, which is quite disturbing in the current economic situation of the country. This chapter has elaborated the application of advanced information and communication technologies of Industry 4.0 in the context of SMEs. Based on the requirements of Industry 4.0, this chapter has also explored the challenges faced by SMEs in Pakistan. The SMEs in Pakistan are presently coping the challenges such as limited access to finance, the undue compliance and excessive paperwork imposed by regulators, lacking mechanism of talent management, lacking skilled workforce, absence of networking and collaboration, mismanagement of raw material, and insufficient infrastructure.

Abstract Optimisation and stimulation of production, digital business, the fourth industrial revolution - this is how the current global economy is perceived. Continuous development of new information and communication technologies, economic globalisation, integration of financial markets, growing pressure on boosting higher added value, just as well as the ever- increasing differentiation of demand schemes became a challenge for the global economy. The article elaborates on the implementation of Industry 4.0 in the logistics, logistic chains as well as use of the Industry 4.0 in logistics. The article includes a new definition of logistics due to the Industry 4.0, which extends the basic production factors by a new term - „information“.

Push Model

The study analyses the significance of start-ups in the contemporary economy in the light of the industrial revolution – Industry 4.0. It presents the essence of the fourth industrial revolution and its main components that are aimed at creating intelligent value chains on the basis of dynamic, self-organising and self-optimising sociotechnical systems. Modern information and communication technologies that are increasingly integrated with production processes are used to this end. In this aspect, new digital client access channels are of key significance, as they allow departing from the traditional “push” model (pushing products into the market) and moving towards the “pull” model (production on demand). Start-ups play an important role as regards these relationships, since they operate in an ecosystem tailored to their needs and, as a result, they become more important in creating digital business models. These models, in turn, enable them to gain competitive advantage under volatile market conditions. Competition is an immanent feature of start-ups: operating under in an environment marked by high risk forces them to accept challenges that lead them to achieving market success and stable long-term development. The results of conducted analyses indicate that competition, treated as the main hazard for the operation and development of start-ups, depends on the developmental status of such enterprises and their market lifespan.

ABSTRACTThroughout the history of humankind, many cities have arisen and built from different needs and purposes. Mainly after the industrial revolution, many cities appear as the result of a process of urbanization, generating a new social context considered by some as the information society, imposing on the state new way of articulating public policies with society. Moreover, with the advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) new concepts associated with the city like cyberspace, cybercity, virtual city, electronic city and Digital City arise. The purpose of this work was to discuss the concept of Digital City, from the search for a theoretical reference since the 1980s, understanding the characteristics of projects implemented since then around the world. From this understanding, bring a discussion to the Brazilian context of the Digital City project promoted by the Ministry of Communications (MC) as a public policy of insertion of the population in some Brazilian municipalities in the information age. Methodologically the research moves into its qualitative character of a specific nature, supported by the authorial coupling. As a result, the paper reiterates concepts and questions about the goa KEYWORDS: Cities; Information; Public Policies; Information Access. RESUMO Ao longo da história da humanidade, muitas cidades surgiram e foram construídas a partir de diferentes necessidades e propósitos. Principalmente após a revolução industrial, muitas cidades surgem como resultado de um processo de urbanização, gerando um novo contexto social considerado por alguns como a sociedade da informação, impondo ao Estado uma nova maneira de articular políticas públicas com a sociedade. Além disso, com o advento das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) surgem novos conceitos associados à cidade como o ciberespaço, a cibercidade, a cidade virtual, a cidade eletrônica e a cidade digital. O objetivo deste trabalho foi discutir o acesso à informação e o conceito de Cidade Digital, a partir da busca por um referencial teórico desde a década de 1980, compreendendo as características dos projetos implantados desde então. A partir desse entendimento, trazer uma discussão para o contexto brasileiro do projeto Cidade Digital promovido pelo Ministério das Comunicações (MC) como a política pública de inserção da população em alguns municípios brasileiros na era da informação. Metodologicamente a pesquisa se traduz em seu caráter qualitative de natureza especifica, sustentado pelo acoplamento autoral e infométrico. Como resultado reitera conceitos e apronfunda endenimento científico acerca do objetivo elencado. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Cidades, informação, políticas públicas, tecnologia da informação.

The political instrumentalization of the history of Ukraine carried out by the Russian Federation in the framework of the information war against Ukraine is covered in this article. This instrumentalization is exercised through media communication employing historical and political myths and narratives to vindicate Russia’s aggressive actions. The latest information and communication technologies used by the Kremlin in the information war against Ukraine have been identified in this paper. Such destructive efforts often derail Ukrainian-Polish relations, which are particularly sensitive to historical and political issues. The reasons for the drawbacks of the Ukrainian authorities in counteracting the information aggression on the part of the Russian Federation are distinguished, and the measures that would contribute to an effective response to such aggression are outlined.
