Scientific Conference

International Scientific Conference “Business Digitalization” 24th April 2018, Kapfenberg AT

We would kindly like to invite you to the International Scientific Conference “Business Digitalization” scheduled on 24th April 2018 at FH JOANNEUM University of Applied Sciences.

Business Digitalization

Due to volatile and fast moving markets, increasing competition as well as more complex products and production, industrial companies are facing increasingly intricate challenges. Experts are talking about the fourth industrial (r)evolution, also called Industry 4.0 (I4.0). I4.0 focuses on an intelligent and transdisciplinary world in which smart factories represent the connection between digital and physical production networks. This development confronts companies with various challenges, in particular the pressure to strongly increase the level of digitalization, to adapt production lines to new technologies or to define the role of humans within new processes.

The international conference “Business Digitalization” addresses this issue and examines different aspects of the subject from a scientific perspective. Therefore, submission is possible for three categories:

  1. Smart Production: This category covers mainly technological topics regarding digitalization such as BIG DATA, internet of things, cyber physical systems or 3D-printing.
  2. New Business Models: This category contains research fields such as service engineering, digital disruption or innovation management.
  3. Human side of Digitalization: Within this category the focus of research is on the employees. This includes topics such as learning 4.0, digital leadership, change management or future of work.
