| Abstract Text | More and more academic studies and practitioner reportsclaim that human work is increasingly disrupted or evendetermined by information and communication technology(ICT) (Cascio and Montealegre 2016). This will make aconsiderable share of jobs currently performed by humanssusceptible to automation (e.g., Frey and Osborne 2017;Manyika et al. 2017). These reports often sketch a pictureof ‘machines taking over’ traditional domains like manu-facturing, while ICT advances and capabilities seem todecide companies’ fate. Consequently, ICT is often put atthe core of innovative efforts. While this applies to nearlyall areas of workplace design, a recent popular example ofincreasing technology centricity is ‘Industry 4.0’, which isoften delineated as ‘machines talking to computers’.As objects in the physical environment increasinglyhouse advanced computing and communication capa-bilities, the resulting composite systems are oftenreferred to as cyber-physical systems (CPSs), as theybridge the digital and physical world (Rajkumar et al.2010). In other words, CPSs are an integration of com-putation and physical processes, which is why they serveas an illustrative example in Exhibit 1 and throughoutthe article. We discuss manufacturing as an a pplicationarea, because here digital transformation is happeningfirst and fast. We also observe similar transformations inother areas, such as agriculture, logistics, and crafts. Theproliferation of ICT in these environments is often ter-med ubiquitous computing and denotes a shift towardsembedded computing that is less perceptible to the enduser (Cascio and Montealegre 2016) |
