The link between Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing: mapping current research and establishing a research agenda (2018, positive): “Based on the extensive literature review by Liao et al. (2017), search terms connected to Industry 4.0 were selected. Liao et al. (2017) present a list of phrases that are the most related to and commonly used together with Industry 4.”
Industry 4.0 and lean manufacturing practices for sustainable organisational performance in Indian manufacturing companies (2019, neutral): “The IoT, BDA, AM, RS, AR, CC, and CPS are identified as the significant I4 T that enhance the process integration, leading to improved SOP (Kamble, Gunasekaran, and Gawankar 2018; Liao et al. 2017).”
Artificial Intelligence, Transport and the Smart City: Definitions and Dimensions of a New Mobility Era (2020, background): “Nonetheless, the current literature still lacks e ﬀ orts to systematically review the state of the art of these paradigm-shifting initiatives in relation to smart city developments [95].”
Organizational learning paths based upon industry 4.0 adoption: An empirical study with Brazilian manufacturers (2020, background): “These technologies usually demand significant levels of capital expenditures (Liao et al., 2017), hence, generating over-estimated expectations in terms of performance improvement, which can disappoint management and impair further efforts.”
Assessing relations between Circular Economy and Industry 4.0: a systematic literature review (2019, background): “In the literature, several works focused on this direction, especially in the form of reviews (Cattelan Nobre and Tavares 2017; Kuo and Smith 2018; Liao et al. 2017; Okorie et al. 2018).”
A digital supply chain twin for managing the disruption risks and resilience in the era of Industry 4.0 (2020, background): “Among various perspectives (Liao et al. 2017; Strozzi et al. 2017; Tang and Veelenturf 2019; Fragapane et al. 2020; Ghadge et al. 2020), a particular concern has been focused on how digitalisation and data analytics capabilities can be manifested in predicting future and identifying real-time…”
The impact of the fourth industrial revolution: a cross-country/region comparison (2018, background): “Moreover, according to a previous work (Liao et al., 2017), the number of conferences and academic papers related to “Industrie 4.”
Industry 4.0 and Sustainability Implications: A Scenario-Based Analysis of the Impacts and Challenges (2018, background): “found 249 papers published before July 2016 [21].”
Preparing Workplaces for Digital Transformation: An Integrative Review and Framework of Multi-Level Factors (2021, background): “Reviews of industry transformation in the context of manufacturing and Industry 4.0 have focused on process-model automation (Liao et al., 2017) although digital transformation is fast becoming a priority for many other industries.”
Industry 4.0 in Management Studies: A Systematic Literature Review (2018, background): “The two papers [16,17] presented as systematic literature reviews are of particular interest given the aim and methodology of this study which is, per se, a systematic literature review on Industry 4.”
