THE GAP BETWEEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE ACTOR AND KNOWLEDGE DEMAND OF INDUSTRY 4.0

摘要

The alert steps of industrial digitization makes now credible the use of "Industrie 4.0" term launched by Henning Kagermann in 2011 and by most appreciations, interconnected digital technology is the Fourth Industrial Revolution. All the major innovations that occurred in digital technology require from the virtual enterprise actors a level of knowledge not so easy to be achieved. Knowledge comes in multiple forms and types (tacit, explicit, learned individually or through collective learning) and is in close link with the management of virtual enterprises. When it is absent the activity of the company will be faulty. It is very important to find the reason for the existing gap between demand and offer of knowledge and establish in what way it will affect the management of virtual enterprise. This study aims to present the level of existing knowledge versus the level of knowledge demand, how we can help increase competence, in which areas organisations can benefit from it and what type of competences we will need in the future.
