This volume provides nine essays on management in the age of Smart Industry, with an emphasis on the importance of a strategic vision of the future. They discuss the impact of the adoption of artificial intelligence on different stakeholders of a business-to-business organization; the gap between intended learning outcomes in higher education and the needs of employees in Industry 4.0; readiness for the impact of Industry 4.0 on human resources; and supply chain distribution and logistics strategy in relation to cross-docking. Also discussed are human-robot collaboration and implications for human resource management, the nature and functioning of inter-organizational governance in Smart Industry initiatives, the current status and future developments of smart decision-support tools for supporting the transition to a circular economy, and supporting utility mapping with a deep learning driven analysis tool.
