For a long time, public sector was trapped in a false belief; a myth  that it did not need to change, that it did not need to be strong, wiser, agile, dynamic, and adaptive to an everchanging environment as it became an inevitable factor for corporations, who had to maintain their competitive advantage in order to always to be more excellent than other corporations. This paper will trace that in the era of Fourth Industrial Revolution, the public sector has to earnestly get out of this trap and need to inject new DNA; not only entrepreneurship DNA, but also disruptive governance DNA that inducts on innovative disruption, agility, and dynamic governance so that it will not only carry out the routinized governance responsibilities, but it can also be present in the middle of the public with strong, wiser, agile, adaptive, and humane presence. This paper concludes with an offer of a model of disruptive governance that is the core of Public Administration 4.0.

The emergence of a consensus that the performance of the public sector in Ghana had been poor, and that there were limits as to what it could achieve in terms of economic growth, led the Provisional National Defence Council (P.N.D.C.) to implement various policy reforms. As the Governor of the Bank of Ghana argued in 1984: ‘Given the dismal performance of the public sector, there is need for greater reliance on private investment in the Government's efforts to resuscitate the economy’. At the same time, the P.N.D.C. began to reassess the economic role of the public sector. According to a recent document prepared by the National Commission for Democracy, ‘changed national policies’ in Ghana include ‘the reduction of the state's rôle in the economic life of the nation through shifting of more responsibility to the private sector.

The rapid development of digital technology is considered the fourth industrial revolution causing various changes, especially in the science of state administration. By using a qualitative approach, this paper explains how the direction of the development of state administration in Indonesia is currently in the flow of technological change and what challenges it faces. Seeing from the history of the paradigm shift that occurred in the science of state administration, the focus and locus of this science is very important because it can affect the perspective of the development of the science of state administration. The rapid development of technology is feared to be able to shift the central role of humans. For this reason, scientists are required to be able to contextualize the science of state administration and at the same time utilize digital technology to answer the public interest

This research aims to give an alternative solution for leadership development in the public sector to face the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). The development of global information technology has demanded public services to adjust to today’s technologies. The problem of this study isthe public sector leaders, who are in the majority consisting of baby boomers generation up to generation X. These generations are not too familiar with technology. Traditional training models cannot improve the competencies of leaders who are predominantly old; adult learning must be developed. They do not need competency development classes, but they need mentoring to learn directly. This is a challenge to the development of local leadership in the public sector against Industry 4.0, which is implicated in the increase of public services based on technology and network. This research uses a qualitative research approach with a case study perspective. The focus of this research is local leadership competencies in the public sector. The data aretaken from primary data by interview and secondary data from literatureanddocuments that are related to the research aims.The results of this study recommend the concept of leader-member exchange, where possible in the process of social learning, to develop public leadership in the era of Industry 4.0. Here, the challenge is the desire and ego of leaders to study with their subordinates.

Growing consumerism and population worldwide raises concerns about society’s sustainability aspirations. This has led to calls for concerted efforts to shift from the linear economy to a circular economy (CE), which are gaining momentum globally. CE approaches lead to a zero-waste scenario of economic growth and sustainable development. These approaches are based on semi-scientific and empirical concepts with technologies enabling 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and 6Rs (reuse, recycle, redesign, remanufacture, reduce, recover). Studies estimate that the transition to a CE would save the world in excess of a trillion dollars annually while creating new jobs, business opportunities and economic growth. The emerging industrial revolution will enhance the symbiotic pursuit of new technologies and CE to transform extant production systems and business models for sustainability. This article examines the trends, availability and readiness of fourth industrial revolution (4IR or industry 4.0) technologies (for example, Internet of Things [IoT], artificial intelligence [AI] and nanotechnology) to support and promote CE transitions within the higher education institutional context. Furthermore, it elucidates the role of universities as living laboratories for experimenting the utility of industry 4.0 technologies in driving the shift towards CE futures. The article concludes that universities should play a pivotal role in engendering CE transitions.
