In these environments, making the right decision, unprotected or minimal damage to the risks, depends on the personal ability of the decision-maker as well as the information that comes with it. The concept of Industry 4.0, which has emerged in parallel with technological developments, includes the transformation of production and service activities into modern automation systems in social areas and the use of new methods in data exchange. In this context, the internet of the objects, the internet of services and cyber-physical systems constitute the basic structures of the new formation. In this study, the use of these technologies in the areas where social sciences operate in the fields of which are the components of the technological developments that emerged as Industry 4.0 are discussed in the topics of Autonomous Robots, Big Data, Simulation, System Integration, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, 3D Printers, Enhanced and Virtual Reality. Planning, analysis, design, coding and implementation stages of many technologies produced and implemented by Management Information Systems for social sciences with the reason of the emergence of Industry 4.0, innovation, flexibility and efficiency approach will be explained in this study. Additionally, this paper examines the effect of the industrial transformation in Turkey. Keywords: Industry 4.0, internet of things, management information systems, information technologies

Abstract. Digitalization, enhanced storage capacities, and the Internet of Things increase the volume of data in modern organizations. To process and make use of these data and to avoid information overload, management information systems (MIS) are introduced that collect, process, and analyze relevant data. However, a precondition for the application of MIS is that users trust them. Extending accounts of trust in automation and trust in technology, we introduce a new model of trust in MIS that addresses the conceptual ambiguities of existing conceptualizations of trust and integrates initial empirical work in this field. In doing so, we differentiate between perceived trustworthiness of an MIS, experienced trust in an MIS, intentions to use an MIS, and actual use of an MIS. Moreover, we consider users’ perceived risks and contextual factors (e. g., autonomy at work) as moderators. The introduced model offers guidelines for future research and initial suggestions to foster trust-based MIS use.
