Taking Responsibility

In this article, an employee perspective has been applied in aiming to explore how organizations face challenges and take responsibility for industrial digitalization, thus extending the research on the human-centric perspective in relation to Industry 4.0 technologies. To give emphasis to the human-centric perspective, the co-workership wheel was applied to identify and analyze data. The findings of an explorative longitudinal qualitative case study consisting of 35 in-depth interviews with informants from a manufacturing company were used. Additional data collection consisted of documents and project meetings. By applying a human-centric perspective, llessons learned from this case study show that taking responsibility for industrial digitalization is challenging and the importance of an adaptive organizational culture and a focus on learning and competence are crucial. We argue that the findings give useful implications for manufacturing organizations navigating the challenges of industrial digitalization to sense and seize the benefits of Industry 4.0 technologies.

AbstractThis study aims to identify, analyze and describe the vulnerability of workplace accidents that are commonly experienced by groups of Bajo Tribal fishermen. In addition, the types of causes of work accidents and the strategies of Bajo fishermen divers overcome the vulnerability to workplace accidents. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative (case study method). While, data collection is done through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the types of work accidents that are often experienced by Bajo diver fishermen are cramping of limbs (feet, hands, and stomach),to temporary paralysis and total paralysis. Some of the causes of Bajo diver work accidents are accidents when using fish bombs; forget (kalupang) using a modified compressor when diving; exhausted when diving (kamaleang); exposed to very cold lumps of water that resemble ice water; and attacked by sea ghosts (kasamperoang). The strategy of the Bajo divers in overcoming work accidents begins with "paruru" (rituals carried out in the house before going to sea), "racing nails" (the ritual of feeding boat guards and marine guards on boats), "niba pinah" ( the ritual of throwing betel nut into the sea to ask for protection from the guardians of the sea), observing the conditions of the sea, and understanding the symptoms of illness and its treatment personally, handling families, involving traditional healers and medical personnel.   Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi, menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan kerentanan kecelakaan kerja yang pada umumnya dialami oleh kelompok-kelompok nelayan penyelam Suku Bajo. Selain itu, juga dijelaskan jenis-jenis penyebab kecelakaan kerja dan strategi penyelam nelayan Bajo mengatasi kerentanan kecelakaan kerja. Metode yang digunakan dalam peneltian ini adalah metode kualitatif (studi kasus) yang bersifat deskriptif. Sedang, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa jenis-jenis kecelakaan kerja yang seringkali dialami nelayan penyelam Suku Bajo adalah kram anggota tubuh (kaki, tangan, dan perut), hingga lumpuh sementara dan lumpuh total. Beberapa penyebab kecelakaan kerja penyelam Bajo adalah adanya kecelakaan saat penggunaan alat bom ikan; lupa (kalupang) menggunakan alat kompresor yang dimodifikasi saat menyelam; kelelahan saat menyelam (kamaleang); terkena gumpalan air yang sangat dingin yang menyerupai air es; dan diserang hantu laut (kasamperoang). Strategi penyelam Suku Bajo dalam mengatasi kecelakaan kerja, diawali dengan melakukan “paruru” (ritual yang dilakukan di dalam rumah sebelum melaut),“pakang balapati” (ritual memberi makan penjaga perahu dan penjaga laut yang dilakukan diatas perahu), “niba pinah”(ritual membuang pinang ke laut untuk meminta perlindungan kepada penjaga laut), mengamati kondisi laut dan memahami gejala sakit dan pengobatannya secara personal, penanganan keluarga, melibatkan dukun dan tenaga medis modern.

The chapter presents an impact of Industry 4.0 transformation on logistics and supply chain management. Logistics and later supply chain management discipline has gone through a number of changes in the last 50 years, namely transition among mass, lean, agile, resilient, and green. All of them are paradigm changes as each significantly reshapes the orientation of the discipline in the source of competitiveness, risk concern, customer services, productivity, process management, externalities, costs, and other aspects of the disciplines. The author presents findings gained in the exploration of these fundamental changes and provides a comparison with a previous change of paradigm. The chapter proposes a transformation that the company supply chain system has to go through to re-establish its competitive position at the time of Industry 4.0. The chapter provides a case study of 3PL perception of Industry 4.0 based on in-depth interviews conducted among the major global 3PLs operating in the Czech Republic.

The participation process also achieved youth empowerment in economic, social and psychological dimensions. The result of the findings further revealed that despite the empowerment dimensions that were achieved, the vision of the program was not met due to some salient factors relating to the inability of the state government to record success in the last step of the participation process, which is the empowerment incentives.

This article explores the tools and processes of effective learning in the design studio with a special emphasis on the pedagogic roles of the tutors and the students in desk critique and peer critique. It aims to identify the ways that pedagogical roles of the tutor and the student change due to the nature of their communication and the degree of their engagement in learning processes. The inquiry is based on the findings of a qualitative case study involving tutors, students and graduates from a bachelor of architecture degree programme. Data were gathered via focus group and in-depth interviews, studio observations and analysed through qualitative content analysis. The findings indicated that the pedagogic identity of a tutor could help scaffold the formation of a community of learners in the design studio. However, the lack of negotiation and trust between a tutor and students in the feedback processes weakens the students’ effective learning experiences.

The aim of this article was to study how a successful innovative network on molecular diagnosis for public health in Brazil, emerged as an idea innovation network with six functional research arenas. We adopted a qualitative case study with in-depth interviews and documentary data. We found that the idea innovation network model was predictive of innovation and technological development, presenting connectedness within and between arenas. We extended the model by finding that the structure of relationship within arenas are not the same as of between arenas, with the former being composed of stronger ties and closer networks, while the latter was formed by sparser networks of relationships, connected through structural holes. We also contributed by showing that the functional research arenas of an idea innovation network may not be equally developed, as we found three stages of development of the research areas: consolidated, advanced development stage, and preliminary development stage.

This work analyzes how the so-called Industry 4.0 technologies are being implemented in companies in the Region of Murcia, in Southeastern Spain. The objective was to determine through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews the current state of 4.0 technologies in Murcia, including additional data of the companies, such as age, number of employees and turnover. Most types of companies in the Region were represented in terms of size, age, turnover, profits and profitability. This study analyzes the relationship between the degree of implementation of 4.0 technologies, investment and training of workers, with companies’ seniority, number of employees, turnover, profits and profitability. The results obtained are significantly higher in companies with higher turnover, profits and profitability, which in turn, have the best levels of investment and training of their workers in 4.0 technologies. The opinions of the companies determined the factors that drove the companies to implement these technologies, the factors perceived as barriers, the opportunities in the current context that encourage the adoption of technologies, as well as the threats that may jeopardize their progress in digital transformation. The conclusions obtained can be taken into account in regional policies that implement appropriate actions to help drive the fourth industrial revolution in the region.
