Design/methodology/approach This paper summarizes the most recent advances on organizational cognition from organizational studies. The article tries to capture how learning is impacted at the individual level and organization level, with incorporation of AI technologies. Findings The theoretical schema on organizational cognition could be studied and integrated to fill this gap and support an effective and smooth transition from electronic, computer-based industries (characteristics of the third industrial revolution) to AI powered enterprises. Originality/value It's one of the first works to discuss organization learning along with AI technologies.

The Third Industrial Revolution: on the issue of definition

The article examines the features of the Third Industrial Revolution. The need for a coordinate consideration of this concept, associated with a number of other phenomena that are similar in their content characteristics, determines the relevance of the article. The work shows that the Third Industrial Revolution has been unfolding essentially since the 1970s following the First Industrial Revolution (late 18th — early 19th centuries), the content of which was the transition from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy, as well as the Second Industrial Revolution (second half of the 19th century — early 20th century), based on the use of a new type electrical energy and conveyor production. The author shows the foundations of the third industrial revolution that are associated with network energy, "green economy" and examines the socio-economic consequences of the Third Industrial Revolution.

NFT and digital art: new possibilities for the consumption, dissemination and preservation of contemporary works of art

Digital technology, which appeared in the '80s and consolidated itself in the following decade with what was called the “third industrial revolution”, has transformed not only our daily environment, but also the way in which we produce and experience the artistic work. Digital art, a subcategory of the so-named art of the new media, presents multiple forms and is in continual evolution, parallel to the devices which make it possible; but its commercialisation in the contemporary art market becomes complex, so digital works present a series of characteristics such as the paperless ofice, obsolescence and reproducibility which may be considered to be not particularly profitable by collectors. Despite this, in recent months the sale of some digital artworks, to which numerous texts are referred to under the name of cryptoart, have increased notably, reaching figures in the millions for the first time in auction houses. The commercial success of these pieces is due to the fact that, together with the work's archive, they include a type of cryptographic certificate, the non- fungible-tokens or NFTs, which collect the the work's data and inscribe them in a blockchain; transforming a multiple and disseminated work into a digital item that is unique and traceable, whose property can be transmitted as one would do with any other object in the offline world. Although they favour in principle the creation and sale of digital art, NFTs present their own problems, especially related to their access, use and sustainability; are NFTs a permanent tool or only a method of fleeting speculation? How does this certification affect property and the author's rights? Is it possible and will it be sustainable to employ them as a strategy for the preservation of digital works? This article carries out an analysis of the principal characteristics and problems of digital art in a general sense, as well as the solutions and preoccupations which the cryptographic certificates offer in all aspects in the life of a work of art: production, dissemination and preservation.

University internship systems and preparation of young people for world of work in the 4th industrial revolution

Purpose As the 4th industrial revolution (4IR) unfolds, there is an increasing awareness that its implications for workforce transformation and shifts in workforce demand will profoundly impact the future of work. Specifically, the paper seeks to answer the following research questions: i) how does Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) equip young people for the real world of work, especially in the era of the third industrial revolution?; ii) does SIWES support the exposure of young people to the world of digitalization?; and iii) what are the effects of the SIWES exposure on the employability of young people? This paper aims to evaluate the University Internship system and preparation of young people for the world of work in the 4th industrial revolution. Design/methodology/approach This paper used a mixed method to unravel the objectives of this study, that is, quantitative and qualitative methods. For the former, structured questionnaires were used to elicit a response from 249 young people drawn from tertiary institutions across Lagos State, Nigeria. The latter used an in-depth interview method conducted among 45 respondents (25 employers of labor and 20 lecturers). Findings The findings reveal that: SIWES contributes meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge and capacity building among young people; SIWES exposes young people to the world of digitalization, depending on the organization where the internship takes place; and SIWES pays little attention to financial rewards and more attention to the acquisition of skills that are relevant to the world of work. The practical and policy implications of the findings are critically discussed. Originality/value This paper critically evaluates the SIWES policy amidst the growing threats of widening skills gap, greater inequality and broader polarization.

How Will the 4th Industrial Revolution Influences the Extraction Industry?

Even the third industrial revolution has never been officially finished, from some time an expression Fourth Industrial revolutiongot viral. It has started in 2011 with a project of German government, called Industrie 4.0, which was initiated during the HanoverExpo in 2012. In 2013 an official report on that project was issued.The article explains the term of 4th industrial revolution and tries to foresee influence of that phenomena on extraction industry.The big challenge of digitalization and cybernetic systems implementation carries a large saving potential, estimated to astonishing321 Bio. USD till 2025 but also risks and challenges to overcome. Discussion in the paper includes the most important technologieswith their state of development and existing implementations including autonomous machines in both underground and open pitmining, technology of self-operating drilling rigs and driverless trucks in open pits.Briefly description of current situation and a picture of the mining industry after extended automatization is presented. It touchesalso the challenges of the new industry concept and highlights a road map for the full digital mine.

Strategies of Sustainable Bioeconomy in the Industry 4.0 Framework for Inclusive and Social Prosperity

The last two decades have witnessed unpredictable transformations in knowledge-related areas. The main reason for this change is the fourth industrial revolution, a knowledge revolution affecting fields like the bioeconomy. The third industrial revolution, which induced the use of fossil-based energy sources, created a major global problem. Likewise, the third industrial revolution introduced the problem of the excess usage of food, animals, water, and other resources. Industry 4.0 offers an efficient solution to excessive tendencies. This chapter aims to analyze changes and offer strategies in the bioeconomy framework within Industry 4.0.

Digital Transformation in the Utilities Industry

Nowadays, there is a digital transformation in industry, which is being referred to as a new revolution, known as the fourth industrial revolution. Today, we are in the fourth industrial revolution, which strongly supports itself at enabling technologies, such as: Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cyber-physical systems (CPS) and cloud computing. These technologies are working cooperatively to promote a digital transformation in the forms of: Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet Consortium and Advanced Manufacturing. To meet these needs and as a proof of concept, a platform for digital transformation for a water issue is proposed with the objective of achieving an efficient management of resources linked to rational use of water. For the platform definition, a survey was performed of the process of a water treatment plant from the third industrial revolution and improved the process by applying the concepts of digital transformation to improve the new platform.

Scientific organization of innovative labour

The industrial revolutions that have passed so far have been an alternation of “machine revolutions” and “labor organization revolutions”. The third industrial revolution, which created the modern digital communication world, became a prerequisite for the formation of a new organization of work. This new organization is, first of all, the organization of labor of workers involved in the development of a new product, or the organization of innovative labor of workers. The study of the types of innovative labor shows that at least three models need serious improvement, which the authors have assigned the following names: “design” model, “competitive” and “creative”. The scientific organization of innovative labor involves identifying for each model: necessary and sufficient working conditions, including everyday and professional comfort; determination of conditions for the formation of motivational guidelines adequate to their activities among members of collectives engaged in innovative work; developing a clear incentive program based on legal and simple principles of rewarding and punishment.
