Abstracts

EN

The paper studied potential impact of the expected globalization trends of the Czech Industry 4.0. The specifics of the Czech Republic economy – as of a typical open export-oriented small European country – are characterized and analyzed in the international context of the EU and the world economy. Indexes of globalization and digitalization are used to highlight the current state of the 4th industrial revolution and its development in future. The paper demonstrated the necessity of a holistic approach to the research of globalization and of the Industry 4.0 research (based on interdisciplinary research in country case studies). It is expected that the speed of digitalization in the Czech Republic will be higher than the speed of the overall transition to Industry 4.0.

W artykule rozpatrzono potencjalny wpływ oczekiwanych trendów globalizacyjnych na czeski Przemysł 4.0. Specyfika gospodarki Republiki Czeskiej – jako typowego, otwartego na eksport małego kraju europejskiego – została scharakteryzowana oraz przeanalizowana w międzynarodowym kontekście gospodarki UE i światowej. Indeksy globalizacji i cyfryzacji posłużyły podkreśleniu obecnego stanu czwartej rewolucji przemysłowej oraz jej potencjalnego rozwoju w przyszłości. W artykule wskazano na konieczność holistycznego podejścia do badań nad globalizacją i Przemysłem 4.0 (przy wykorzystaniu interdyscyplinarnych badań studiów przypadków krajowych). Oczekuje się, że tempo cyfryzacji w Czechach będzie wyższe niż tempo ogólnej transformacji do Przemysłu 4.0.
