The growing diffusion of digital technologies, especially in production systems, is leading to a new industrial paradigm, named Industry 4.0 (I4.0), which involves disruptive changes in the way companies organize production and create value. Organizations willing to seize the opportunities of I4.0 must thus innovate their processes and business models. The challenges that companies must face for the transition towards I4.0 paradigm are not trivial. Several digital transformation models and roadmaps have been lately proposed in the literature to support companies in such a transition. The literature on change management stresses that about 70% of change initiatives—independently of the aim—fail to achieve their goals due to the implementation of transformation programs that are affected by well-known mistakes or neglect some relevant aspects, such as lack of management support, lack of clearly defined and achievable objectives and poor communication. This paper investigates whether and to what extent the existing digital transformation models (DTMs) and roadmaps for I4.0 transition consider the lessons learnt in the field of change management. To this aim, a Systematic Literature Review to identify existing models and roadmaps is carried out. The results obtained by the review are discussed under the lens of the change-management literature. Based on that, the shortcomings and weaknesses of existing DTMs are pinpointed. Extant DTMs mainly focus on digital transformation initiatives carried out in manufacturing companies; they do not cover all the phases of the digital transformation process but rather focus on the definition of the I4.0 vision, strategy and roadmap. Little attention is devoted to the implementation and consolidation of digital change. Change management lessons are considered to a limited extent, based on which, some suggestions for better dealing with digital transformation initiatives are discussed. The paper contributes to advancing knowledge on models and approaches to support organizations in managing digital transformation. The identification of change management activities that a digital transformation initiative should involve as well as the suggestions on how to effectively deal with it can be used by managers to successfully lead the I4.0 transition journey in their organizations.

This article explores the interrelation between constitutional and judicial argumentation, and the key transformation models of normative legal regulation under the influence of constitutional and judicial decisions. Using the analysis and summarization of the extensive constitutional and judicial practice, the author describes the argumentative patterns emerging as a result of appeal of the constitutional justice bodies to particular variants of normative correction. Special attention is given to such corrective measures as disqualification of the legal norm, formulation of an exception to the general rule, modification of the hypothesis and disposition of the legal norm, correction of its sanction, clarification of the mechanism of action of the legal norm in time, space and scope of persons, filling of the legislative gaps, and securing additional guarantees. The novelty of this research consists in studying the constitutional and judicial argumentation from instrumental perspective, namely in the context of its of carrying out of its official function with regards to constitutional control, which allowed outlining the argumentative patterns that are prevalent within the constitutional discourse, and thus grasp the mechanism of generation of arguments. The acquired results demonstrate that conceptually, the reasoning of the constitutional justice bodies reflect the process of critical re-evaluation of the current legal regulation and determination of its constitutional flaws with simultaneous projection of the normative model that fits into the constitutional framework. The conclusion is formulated that the constitutional and judicial argumentation aims to indicate the most acceptable variant of regulation from the constitutional perspective, outline the eligible lawmaking divergence from the constitutional standards legal regulation, as well as explain which part of the normative legal regulation should be corrected based on the constitutional requirements.
