The article provides a comprehensive view of assessing technological capacity of enterprises in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, through evaluating the following criteria: capacity of technology exploitation–use–operation; capacity of technology innovation and upgrade, and capacity of new technology research and development. Limited resources have a direct impact on the capacity of technology exploitation–operation. The enterprises themselves still faces many difficulties, so the technology innovation and upgrade activities are still left open. Besides, the level of capacity of new technology research and development shows that Vietnamese enterprises have not yet achieved many achievements despite the attention, investment and support policies from the Government.

The Australian petroleum exploration research program is customer-driven and reflects the balance between the need for the petroleum industry to reduce exploration risk in the short term and the government need to improve the perception of prospectivity in the longer term. Higher prospectivity will lead to greater exploration investment and competition, whereas risk-reduction will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the exploration industry. Thus the objectives of the primary customers may be significantly different, with government intent on increasing the amount of investment and competition between explorers, whereas industry is intent on keeping expenditure to a minimum and maintaining competitive advantage. Despite the differences, collaboration between all groups involved in exploration and exploration-related research in Australia is essential to solve the range of exploration problems and generate new paradigms. Collaborative research ventures are most successful when new ideas stimulate explorer and researcher alike to focus resources on the key questions despite factors such as competitive advantage. Government geoscience researchers must play a significant role in generating and marketing new concepts to help maintain Australia's supply of domestic petroleum products.The scale of the petroleum research undertaken, and the degree of collaboration between industry and research groups in Australia, is remarkable. There is a productive balance between groups developing and applying new technology and those undertaking regional geological and petroleum systems research. This balance has been reached because of the long-term commitment by the Australian Government, via legislation and funding, to ensure the preservation of exploration data in national geoscience database systems, and that basic and applied research at all scales, from basins to wells, is undertaken in support of petroleum exploration and development.Despite the success of a number of collaborative research projects, research and development resources are still under-utilised by the Australian petroleum industry. Government research agencies must develop a higher marketing profile to ensure that the utilisation of the resources is at a maximum.

ABSTRAKPemerintah RI dalam upaya pengimplementasian Revolusi Industri 4.0 di bidang industri telah menetapkan 10 langkah prioritas nasional, yaitu roadmap yang dikenal dengan Making Indonesia 4.0, yang mencakup perbaikan alur aliran barang dan material, desain ulang zona industri, akomodasi standar-standar keberlanjutan, pemberdayaaan UMKM, pembangunan infrastruktur digital nasional, peningkatan minat investasi asing, peningkatan kualitas SDM, pembangunan ekosistem inovasi, pemberian insentif untuk investasi teknologi, dan harmonisasi aturan dan kebijakan. Melalui pemetaan ini, industri tambang menjadi salah satu unit industri yang penting untuk mewujudkan revolusi industri 4.0. Meskipun pada tahun 2018 trend insdutri global mengalami pergeseran dari industri ekstraktif (extractive industry) menjadi industri disruptif (disruptive industry), seperti perusahaan-perusahaan teknologi maupun perusahaan berbasis R&D (research and development), revolusi industri tidak serta merta dapat tercapai tanpa adanya peran dari sektor industri ekstraktif, misalnya sektor industri pertambangan, seperti pengadaan bahan baku industri, penggiatan energi terbarukan, hingga penyediaan segala fasilitas dan infrastruktur pendukung bergeraknya revolusi industri 4.0 di Indonesia, contohnya pemenuhan kebutuhan listrik. Untuk itu dilakukan penelitian dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengkaji arah kebijakan sektor industri pertambangan sebagai sektor utama dalam mendukung perkembangan revolusi industri di Indonesia. Berdasarkan peraturan pemerintah yang dikeluarkan dalam KEN dan RUEN, serta UU Minerba Nomor 4/2009, terdapat hal mendasar yang perlu diperhatikan pemerintah, yakni kebijakan mengenai ketahanan energi nasional. Pemerintah harus mulai memperhitungkan keterdiaan energi dalam kebijakan yang juga menyangkut pembangunan berkelanjutan (sustainable development) sebagai upaya untuk mengendalikan sumber daya maupun cadangan batubara di dalam negeri untuk sumber energi nasional melalui kebijakan pembentukan Wilayah Cadangan Negara (WPN) khususnya batubara. Pembuatan neraca sumber daya alam sebagai langkah awal pembentukan kebijakan berbasis riset diharapkan dapat ditindaklanjuti dengan perhitungan yang matang mengenai ketahanan energi hingga perhitungan ekonomis terkait kerusakan lingkungan, karena meskip hingga pertengahan tahun 2019 PNBP di sektor mineral dan batubara telah mencapai Rp19,16 triliun atau 44,28% dari target tahun 2019, terdapat kemungkinan bahwa angka penerimaan ini tidak sebanding dengan besaran nilai yang dibutuhkan untuk kompensasi kerusakan lingkungan yang diakibatkan oleh adanya aktifitas pertambangan. Kebijakan pemerintah kedepannya diharapkan tidak hanya berfokus pada kebijakan DMO, besaran royalti, ekspor impor, hilirisasi, konversi maupun konservasi energi, namun perhitungan matang terhadap ketahanan dan ketersediaan energi nasional melalui pembentukan WCN batubara, karena batubara sebagai target bauran energi utama Indonesia merupakan energi fosil tidak dapat diperbaharui yang diperkirakan habis dalam 71 tahun, dan dapat lebih cepat apabila bauran batubara Indonesia sesuai proyeksi mencapai 38% di tahun 2025 (asumsi business as usual). Kata Kunci: kebijakan, cadangan energi, batubara ABSTRACTThe Government of Indonesia in the attempt to implement the Industrial Revolution 4.0 through its Ministry of Industry has set 10 national priorities, known as Making Indonesia 4.0, which includes improving the flow of goods and materials, redesigning industrial zones, accommodating the sustainability standards, empowering MSMEs, developing the national digital infrastructure, increasing foreign investment interest, improving the quality of human resources, building an innovative ecosystem, providing incentives for technological investment, and harmonizing rules and policies. Through this roadmap, the mining industry became one of the important industrial units to support the realization of industrial revolution 4.0 in Indonesia. Although in 2018 the global industry trend has shifted from an extractive industry to a disruptive industry, such as technology companies and R&D (research and development) based companies, the industrial revolution cannot necessarily be achieved without the role of extractive industry sectors, for example the mining industry, in supporting the raw materials, facilities and infrastructure, and electricity. For this reason, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted to examine the policy in terms of mining industry. Based on government regulations issued in KEN and RUEN, and Mining and Minerals Law, there are basic things that need to be considered by the government, namely policies on national energy security. The government must begin to take into account the availability of energy in its policies that also in line with the sustainable development as an effort to control domestic coal resources and reserves for national energy sources by establishing a State Reserve Area (WPN) policy especially for coal. Creating a natural resource balance as a first step in setting up a research-based policy is expected to be followed up by a careful calculation of energy security to economic calculations related to environmental damage, because even with the high amount of PNBP in the mineral and coal sectorthere is a possibility that this is not proportional to the amount of value needed to compensate for the environmental damage. Future government policies are expected to focus not only on DMO policies, royalties, export-imports, downstream, conversion and energy conservation, but also careful calculation of national energy security and availability through the formation of coal WCN, because as Indonesia's main energy mix, coal is fossil energy which estimated to be used up in the next 71 years, and can be faster if the percentage of coal in Indonesian energy mix reaches 38% in 2025 as projected (business as usual).Keywords: policy, energy reserve, coal

The advance in industrial techniques since the second world war has been spectacular. The steady rise in the number of consumers and the standard of their requirements has meant a growth in demand which, since resources such as land and labour can be increased only slowly if at all, can be met only through progress in methods of production. Competition among producers has provided a strong incentive in the same direction. As a result human activity has been channelled into ‘research and development’ on a scale unique in history, and many authorities believe that the advance in the application of scientific progress is tantamount, with all its social and other consequences, to a second industrial revolution.

This research proposed a model to assist the design of the associated data architecture and data analytic to support talent forecast in the current accelerating changes in economy, industry and business change due to the accelerating pace of technological change. The emerging and re-emerging economy model were available, such as Industrial revolution 4.0, platform economy, sharing economy and token economy. Those were driven by new business model and technology innovation. An increase capability of technology to automate more jobs will cause a shift in talent pool and workforce. New business model emerge as the availabilityand the cost effective emerging technology, and as a result of emerging or re-emerging economic models. Both, new business model and technology innovation, create new jobs and works that have not been existed decades ago. The future workers will be faced by jobs that may not exist today. A dynamics model of inter-correlation of economy, industry, business model and talent forecast were proposed. A collection of literature review were conducted to initially validate the model.

In 1949, at the end of a long period of wars, one of the biggest challenges facing leaders of the new People's Republic of China was how much they did not know. The government of one of the world's largest nations was committed to fundamentally reengineering its society and economy via socialist planning while having almost no reliable statistical data about their own country. This book is the history of efforts to resolve this “crisis in counting.” The book explores the choices made by political leaders, statisticians, academics, statistical workers, and even literary figures in attempts to know the nation through numbers. It shows that early reliance on Soviet-inspired methods of exhaustive enumeration became increasingly untenable in China by the mid-1950s. Unprecedented and unexpected exchanges with Indian statisticians followed, as the Chinese sought to learn about the then-exciting new technology of random sampling. These developments were overtaken by the tumult of the Great Leap Forward (1958–1961), when probabilistic and exhaustive methods were rejected and statistics was refashioned into an ethnographic enterprise. By acknowledging Soviet and Indian influences, the book not only revises existing models of Cold War science but also globalizes wider developments in the history of statistics and data. Anchored in debates about statistics and its relationship to state building, the book offers fresh perspectives on China's transition to socialism.

AbstractA new industrial revolution is on the verge in the energy domain considering the knowledge and skills acquired through the development of new energy technologies. Shale gas processing, unconventional oil exploitation, new exploring/drilling methods, mature renewable energy or in progress, all generated a wealth of knowledge in new technology. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the positive and negative aspects of energy solutions, and to reveal the way to a world where a valid sustainable development, based on safe and rational premises, is actually considered. The paper also introduces suggestions for the energy system, which has a crucial importance in coping with the resource management of the future, where the economic, social, and environmental/climate needs of the post-crisis world should be suitably considered.

In its program for underdeveloped areas, the United Nations faces on a large scale the need to effect concrete adaptations of the habits of indigenous peoples to modern knowledge and technology. Research to determine the best methods of procedure has disclosed that, in certain areas, previous attempts on the part of administrators to introduce innovations and make changes which could not be integrated into the cultural pattern of the indigenous people proved unsatisfactory to them and costly to the government concerned. In most cases, changes in diet, crops and habits of work—let alone the introduction of industrial disciplines—may not be pressed down like a cookie-cutter on a going society. The administration of change often proves a disconcertingly stubborn affair, exasperating both to the administrator and to the people whom he seeks to catch up into the ways of "progress."
