Abstract:
Fourth industrial (r)evolution demands radical changes in business model in various types of
companies. Apart from physical investments and improvement of current physical machinery,
new working environment demands changes in human resources management. Higher level of
human knowledge will be essential. It lies in new technologies, mathematical models and
innovative approaches to problem solving and decision-making process. The current educational
system and professions aren't appropriate to adjust in the way needed for the new requirements
of fourth industrial (r)evolution.
This paper deals with most demanding part of transformation within the company - change of the
human labor. Possible new types of human professions will be presented with the solution to
avoid or at least minimize resistance to change. Current staff has to be educated so that nobody
feels endangered for the current job position. The biggest resistance to change is expected to
happen within the elderly part of working force. The challenges of adaption to new working
environment, communication with robots and position of the human role within the system will be
explored. Also, the changes in organizational system will be noticed with needed steps to be taken
in educational system in order to minimize negative effects of transition period, but also to build
sustainable educational system for the future.
