Industry 4.0, International Context, Key Case StudiesAbstract
At the dawn of the 21st century, the underlying aspects of the change in the prevailing techno-economic paradigm were already a palpable reality. This circumstance was embedded in a context of constant change harmonised by a greater integration of international markets. In fact, the concept to which we refer is globalisation.
Thus, this phenomenon of global interconnectedness is not a new concept, but it has become more important in recent decades. Although globalisation has positive effects associated with increased market efficiency, increased international trade, access to resources, increased investment and increased market potential (Johnson, 2002), it has also led to a number of negative consequences that have overshadowed the high degree of trust placed in globalisation (Bretos & Marcuello, 2017).
