The document discusses the challenges of changing skills due to the 4th Industrial Revolution. It notes that international organizations have been keen to develop skills that promote employability and protect against rapid technological changes affecting work. The 4th Industrial Revolution will likely intensify skill gaps and mismatches between the skills workers have and the skills required for their jobs. Adapting skills and mindsets will be needed to handle technological changes affecting how people live, work, communicate and interact.
The fourth-industrial-revolution-2016-21milindiitb
This document provides an introduction to the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It discusses how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of things, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, biotechnology and nanotechnology are combining in novel ways and transforming all sectors of society and the economy. The changes are happening exponentially faster than previous industrial revolutions and will profoundly impact how we live, work, and relate to one another. The document argues that this revolution requires cooperation across all stakeholders to ensure it is empowering and shapes our future in a positive way.
The document discusses innovation design and planning. It explains that innovation requires support from multiple individuals within a company. Ideas become new products and services through collaboration between individuals in different business functions like manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. The document then analyzes internal and external factors that shape innovation strategies, including technological change and innovation systems design. It notes that innovation systems design involves idea generation, selection, development and integration into business operations.
Development Studies is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand and address issues of inclusive and sustainable development. It analyzes social, economic, political, technological, ecological, cultural, and gendered aspects of development. There are differing perspectives on what development means and how it should be defined, measured, and achieved. It involves both long-term structural transformations as well as short-term targets and outcomes. Sustainable development aims to meet human needs and improve quality of life while protecting the environment. Development indicators relate to economic, social, demographic, and other factors.

From Open to Inclusive – Asserting rights-based approaches in globalized lea...Alan Bruce
This document discusses the impact of globalization on education and learning. It argues that while globalization has increased access to information and opened up opportunities for learning, it has also exacerbated inequalities in access. The document examines how economic factors largely drive developments in education under globalization. It emphasizes the need for rights-based and inclusive approaches to learning to ensure populations at risk of exclusion can fully participate. Strategies like universal design and innovative learning systems are needed to promote meaningful social inclusion in globalized education.
Chemical engineering and competences in ecologyeSAT Journals
Abstract
Environmental degradation, global warming and sustainable development are topics to be included in the curriculum of the
chemical engineer to reach cognitive skills and attitude competences to deal with these burning issues of today. While the current
curricula have some materials dealing with the issue of ecology and pollution, the authors have found, by means of a survey, that
students are not sufficiently informed or trained to understand the complexity of pollution, global warming and sustainable
development. Therefore we recommend to support the formation of these competences through the cross and hidden curricula.
Keywords: Competences, Global Warming, Pollution, Ecology, Sustainable Development.
In this module, you will journey to the very heart of this course: you will be asked to identify the challenges posed by globalization and consider responses to these challenges as demonstrated by experiences on the ground. For this purpose, students will produce case studies of communities (in the Philippines and other countries) experiencing the impact of globalization and their respective responses to issues that arise. There are global-civic societies engaged in advocacies relating to climate and environmental protection, for example, human trafficking across borders, the application of advances in science and technology to serve some of the world’s poorest communities, and so on. There are, too, communities that have managed, in varying degrees of success, to deal with the effects, good and bad, of globalization.
This document provides an overview of key topics related to globalization, including:
- Defining globalization and discussing broad vs. narrow definitions.
- The main dimensions of globalization: economic, political, cultural, and technological.
- Metaphors used to describe globalization, particularly the concepts of solid vs. liquid and the increasing fluidity in the modern world.
- Theories of globalization that see it as either increasing homogeneity or heterogeneity across cultures.
The document aims to introduce foundational concepts for understanding the phenomenon of globalization. It examines globalization from different perspectives and uses metaphors to illustrate changing dynamics in the contemporary world.

The document discusses several aspects of globalization including its impact on daily life through product labeling and technological advancements enabling rapid information sharing. It also examines different methods of measuring countries' degree of globalization, identifying three main indexes and three dimensions of globalization: economic, political, and socio-cultural. The article explains how these dimensions influence each other and identifies the Openness Index as the most commonly used integration measure calculated based on a country's trade relative to GDP.
This document provides an overview of globalization and its effects. It begins by defining globalization as the emergence of an international network belonging to an economic and social system. It then discusses several types of globalization including economic, social, political, financial, technological, ecological, and geographical. Specific examples are given for each type. The document emphasizes how globalization leads to interconnectedness between people and nations. It argues collaboration and cooperation are needed to achieve this interconnectedness. Daily life activities that involve cooperation and collaboration during the pandemic are given as examples showing the concrete effects of globalization.
The document discusses the concept of sustainable development. It provides definitions of development and sustainable development. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. It ties together environmental concerns and social challenges. The document also examines different perspectives on sustainable development and argues that a supranational authority is needed to properly implement public policy initiatives to promote sustainable development.
An Empirical And Theoretical Literature Review On Endogenous Growth In Latin ...Wendy Hager
This document provides a literature review on endogenous growth in Latin American economies. It summarizes three major theories of economic growth:
1) Neoclassical growth theory from the 1950s-1970s which viewed capital accumulation and technology as the main drivers of growth. This theory faced criticisms for treating factors like savings as exogenous.
2) Endogenous growth theory from the 1980s onward which endogenized technology and viewed factors like human capital and spillover effects from innovation as generating long-term growth.
3) The evolution of growth theory and its application to understanding economic growth in Latin American countries in recent decades, with a focus on factors like financial development, structural reforms, and institutions.
This document outlines an assignment for a paper on modernization. It provides questions for the paper, including how modernization manifests in US society, if it will continue, if it is a worldwide trend, and the consequences. It asks students to choose a modernization theorist and research in the library to support their answers. The paper should be 1,050-1,750 words and cite 3-5 sources using APA format, with at least two from the library.
Much research to date has tended to view vulnerability by discipline or sector, yet individuals and households experience multiple, interacting and sometimes compound vulnerabilities. Cross-disciplinary thinking is emerging as multi-dimensional vulnerability is likely to become
an increasingly important concept if the outlook over the next 15 to 25 years is one of
multiple, interacting and compound stressors and crises, a result of the “perfect-storm” or “long-crisis” thesis of the interaction of demographics, climate change and food and energy prices. A realigned analytical lens is thus useful to bring together the various intellectual strands involved in multi-dimensional vulnerability analysis. In light of the above, this paper reviews the literature on vulnerability and asks what a “three-dimensional human
wellbeing” approach - a complement to more traditional ways of understanding poverty -might contribute to the analysis of vulnerability.
The future of organizations musings of a managerfredrickaila
This document discusses four views of the future of organizations: 1) the future is an extension of the past, 2) the future is new, 3) the future is now, and 4) the future is somewhat "past". It also examines the role of leadership in envisioning and shaping organizational futures. Developments in science and technology as well as ideological rigidity will continue influencing organizations. Leadership skills are needed to guide organizations by propelling them towards envisioned futures. The future cannot be precisely predicted but can be influenced through imagination and effort.
Classmate oneThe most important element from my project is civi.docxbartholomeocoombs
Classmate one:
The most important element from my project is civil rights since it is ongoing issue that affects everyone. Civil rights need to be monitored for women, people of color and other minorities that are subject to discrimination. For instance, women are still being paid less than men. African Americans are being racially profiled by the police and others. Civil rights are being violated for those of the Muslim faith and Christians are being chastised and discriminated against because of their religious beliefs. Civil rights violations are driving several issues that weaken previously earned freedoms. As the old saying says: “Freedoms are not free”. There is a price to pay for everything. Injustice is the basis of unrest and a society that is in turmoil (Axford, & Huggins (eds.),2011). The civil right protests of the 1960s made everyone aware that African Americans were not being fairly along with discriminatory practices towards other races. Countries that continue to have serious civil rights violations are slowing positive change and growth possibilities in their country both in tourism, commerce and in other areas.
Civil rights globally relate to human rights violations. Injustices are a worldwide problem and is my number one pick of importance because of the long-range consequences that are involved. The issue of civil rights was addressed by the United Nations in 1945 after atrocities were so prevalent during World War II against Jews and other ethnicities (Reilly, 2012, p. 207). Millions of Jews were killed while many did nothing and this is why human rights and civil rights violations should be monitored and a top priority in all countries. Turning a blind eye to abuses is a dangerous thing.
Slavery, severe mistreatment and putting people in camps were all violations of peoples civil rights. Even the US put its Japanese citizens in camps during the Second World War. This was a violation of human and civil rights. This was a dark piece of our history. I chose civil rights as the most important since this has continued to be a problem on varying levels. For instance, civil rights violations are often two steps forwards and one step back.

Reflection on Humanism, Citizenship, and the Digital Society (from Theory to ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT:We do not intend to deal exhaustively with this subject, because it is broad and complex for the space of a
text. Our pretensions, which are much more modest, refer to documentary research for the understanding and development of
humanist thought and citizenship, and some of their multiple relationships.
Humanism was a movement that emerged in Italy during the Renaissance. It marked a move away from the medieval
emphasis on logic and theology, and led to the rediscovery of ancient texts, the advancement of scholarship, and the
transformation of art, culture, and society. The article analyzes the central ideas of Humanism, such as the importance of
human dignity, individuality and learning, and demonstrates how they have influenced various domains. Humanism is a key
concept in the history of human thought. There are several definitions of the concept ranging from rhetorical humanism, to the Christian
humanism of the Middle Ages, and from the literary humanism of the Renaissance, to the humanism of Compte. There are several
approaches to the relationship between humanism and religion.
Humanism in the age of globalization may be an elaborate form of humanism capable of crossing the boundaries between
the world's civilizations and overthrowing their hostile ways. Intercultural humanism must evolve as a result of the global
debate. Intercultural humanism can replace the current humanism, and thus confront and overcome the many tensions and
conflicts that exist between the world's divergent civilizations.
Keywords: Humanism, Renaissance, Christian Humanism, Civic Humanism, Digital Society
This document discusses three perspectives on the relationship between science, technology, and society:
1) "Science and Technology Shaping Society", where technological developments are seen as driving social change.
2) "Society Shaping Technology and Science", where social factors shape the direction of scientific and technological progress.
3) "Interrelations between Science, Technology and Society", asserting that science, technology, and society interact and influence each other.
The document provides examples and details on each perspective to analyze their different views on how science, technology, and society interact.
The document discusses science, technology, and society in the Philippines. It begins by outlining the Philippine constitution which establishes the government's policy of prioritizing science, technology, research and development. It then defines science as the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. Technology is defined as applying scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. The document notes that science and technology are important for society by improving living standards through applications like healthcare. It also discusses how technology affects communication, learning and thinking in society. Various categories and fields of technology are outlined like power/energy, bio-related, construction, manufacturing and communication technologies. Finally, it defines society as a large group of people sharing culture and institutions.

This document discusses using neural networks for forecasting. Specifically, it describes using backpropagation neural networks to develop a prediction model for predicting stock market share prices. It notes that while some patterns can be easily learned by neural networks, single layer networks cannot learn non-linearly separable patterns, requiring backpropagation training. The paper aims to study backpropagation neural networks in MATLAB, including creating, initializing, training and simulating the network using MATLAB functions to establish an effective predictive model for various stock prices. Empirical tests on sample stocks demonstrate the practicality and accuracy of the proposed method and model.

A realigned analytical lens is thus useful to bring together the various intellectual strands involved in multi-dimensional vulnerability analysis. In light of the above, this paper reviews the literature on vulnerability and asks what a “three-dimensional human
wellbeing” approach - a complement to more traditional ways of understanding poverty -might contribute to the analysis of vulnerability.
The future of organizations musings of a managerfredrickaila
This document discusses four views of the future of organizations: 1) the future is an extension of the past, 2) the future is new, 3) the future is now, and 4) the future is somewhat "past". It also examines the role of leadership in envisioning and shaping organizational futures. Developments in science and technology as well as ideological rigidity will continue influencing organizations. Leadership skills are needed to guide organizations by propelling them towards envisioned futures. The future cannot be precisely predicted but can be influenced through imagination and effort.
Classmate oneThe most important element from my project is civi.docxbartholomeocoombs
Classmate one:
The most important element from my project is civil rights since it is ongoing issue that affects everyone. Civil rights need to be monitored for women, people of color and other minorities that are subject to discrimination. For instance, women are still being paid less than men. African Americans are being racially profiled by the police and others. Civil rights are being violated for those of the Muslim faith and Christians are being chastised and discriminated against because of their religious beliefs. Civil rights violations are driving several issues that weaken previously earned freedoms. As the old saying says: “Freedoms are not free”. There is a price to pay for everything. Injustice is the basis of unrest and a society that is in turmoil (Axford, & Huggins (eds.),2011). The civil right protests of the 1960s made everyone aware that African Americans were not being fairly along with discriminatory practices towards other races. Countries that continue to have serious civil rights violations are slowing positive change and growth possibilities in their country both in tourism, commerce and in other areas.
Civil rights globally relate to human rights violations. Injustices are a worldwide problem and is my number one pick of importance because of the long-range consequences that are involved. The issue of civil rights was addressed by the United Nations in 1945 after atrocities were so prevalent during World War II against Jews and other ethnicities (Reilly, 2012, p. 207). Millions of Jews were killed while many did nothing and this is why human rights and civil rights violations should be monitored and a top priority in all countries. Turning a blind eye to abuses is a dangerous thing.
Slavery, severe mistreatment and putting people in camps were all violations of peoples civil rights. Even the US put its Japanese citizens in camps during the Second World War. This was a violation of human and civil rights. This was a dark piece of our history. I chose civil rights as the most important since this has continued to be a problem on varying levels. For instance, civil rights violations are often two steps forwards and one step back.

Reflection on Humanism, Citizenship, and the Digital Society (from Theory to ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT:We do not intend to deal exhaustively with this subject, because it is broad and complex for the space of a
text. Our pretensions, which are much more modest, refer to documentary research for the understanding and development of
humanist thought and citizenship, and some of their multiple relationships.
Humanism was a movement that emerged in Italy during the Renaissance. It marked a move away from the medieval
emphasis on logic and theology, and led to the rediscovery of ancient texts, the advancement of scholarship, and the
transformation of art, culture, and society. The article analyzes the central ideas of Humanism, such as the importance of
human dignity, individuality and learning, and demonstrates how they have influenced various domains. Humanism is a key
concept in the history of human thought. There are several definitions of the concept ranging from rhetorical humanism, to the Christian
humanism of the Middle Ages, and from the literary humanism of the Renaissance, to the humanism of Compte. There are several
approaches to the relationship between humanism and religion.
Humanism in the age of globalization may be an elaborate form of humanism capable of crossing the boundaries between
the world's civilizations and overthrowing their hostile ways. Intercultural humanism must evolve as a result of the global
debate. Intercultural humanism can replace the current humanism, and thus confront and overcome the many tensions and
conflicts that exist between the world's divergent civilizations.

The document discusses how pharmaceutical companies may manipulate clinical trial data and research results to get new drugs approved and increase profits. Some ways they do this is by comparing their drug to placebos instead of existing treatments, testing it on younger people where side effects are less likely, and even outright lying about results. This is done to influence regulators and get drugs approved and marketed more widely, despite the potential risks to patients. The document argues that the financial incentives of profit prioritize over ensuring drug safety and efficacy.

I agree that King Lear contains themes of enduring appeal that have resonated with audiences for centuries. Some of the major universal themes in the play include:
- The complex nature of family and human relationships. The betrayal of Lear by his daughters and the bond between Lear and Cordelia explore the depths of love, loyalty and disappointment within families.
- The exercise and abuse of power and authority. Lear's gradual descent into madness stems from his inability to properly wield his kingly power and discern true loyalty.
- The fickle hand of fate and the inevitability of suffering. No matter one's station, the play suggests that a person is subject to the whims of fortune and the travails

- While the First Amendment protects expression of beliefs, it does not protect unconventional participation in activities that could lead to violence, civil disobedience, or vandalism. Simply expressing beliefs is protected, but illegal actions are not.

During the Gilded Age, Social Darwinism was a popular theory that justified the distinction between the rich and poor. According to Social Darwinism, only the fittest survive through competition, so the wealthy represented the fit who earned their success, while the poor were the weak. Wealthy industrialists like John D. Rockefeller used Social Darwinism to justify accumulating vast wealth by expanding their businesses rapidly during a time of economic growth and innovation. However, many workers lived in poverty due to long hours in harsh conditions for little pay.

The composition of the jury is important, as a couple "bad seeds" in the jury almost make a premature guilty verdict for arbitrary reasons. Some jurors truly cared about a fair trial for the defendant, while others did not care about the defendant's fate. People without compassion for others should not serve on juries where someone's life is at stake. Staying calm and rational is important for jurors in such a high-stakes environment.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can

4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGING HUMAN
RESOURCES SKILLS
Zoe Karanikola and Georgios Panagiotopoulos
Technological Educational Institution of Western Greece
ABSTRACT: This paper comes to examine the intense reflection that arises around the issue
of the fourth industrial revolution and the subsequent rapid changes. Changes that affect all
areas of human existence, especially labour, drastically. Already from the beginning of the 21st
century, international organizations (UN, UNESCO, OECD) are also keen to increase
employability and develop relevant skills that can protect it.
KEYWORDS: Changes, 4rth Industrial Revolution, Skills, Employability
INTRODUCTION
Human development is all about freedom to realize the potential of every human life in every
corner of the world. Over the past quarter – century there have been impressive changes on
many fronts of human life with people living longer, more people rising out of extreme poverty
and fewer people being malnourished, more children going to school. Though the gains have
not been universal, and not all lives have been lifted. Millions of people seem to be unable to
reach their full potential in life and work, mainly because they suffer deprivations in multiple
dimensions of human development. Besides there are significant imbalances across countries,
ethnic and racial groups, urban and rural areas, women and men (UN, 2016).
In addition, we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution, the fourth, which
undoubtedly affects all areas of human life, bringing about rapid changes in people's way of
living, working, communicating and interacting. People will need to redefine their skills and
mindset in order to be able to handle these rapid technological changes. In order to be able to
become active citizens, skills is the key driver of employability with the acquisition of
knowledge and attitudes (Boaden, 1997; Dearing, 1997; Hillage and Pollard, 1999).
What are the appropriate skills, though? According to the OECD Survey (2013) of
employability skills, roughly one third of workers are over or under qualified for their job,
while one sixth report a mismatch between their existing skills and those qualified for their job.
Skill gaps, skill shortages and skill mismatches can affect labour productivity and
employability.
In view of the 4th Industrial Revolution, how much will this phenomenon intensify? How
appropriate are the existing skills of both candidate professionals and professionals? How long
will it take the corresponding international, national policies and agents of delivering and
implementing the right skills to change or to be redefined? By exploring the past, we find out
that depending on the work requirements the corresponding skills are also matched.

Theoretical underpinning
Contemporary changes and change management models
Since ancient times, Heraclitus had grasped the changing nature of the universe and marked
movement and change as key ways of expressing it. The same was true of the Chinese thinkers
as reflected in Tao Te Ching, the book of Changes: "When you are in a deadlock, you have to
change. If you change, you can overcome it." In addition, Darwin with his Evolutionary Theory
(1859) argued that living organisms that survive are neither the strongest nor the smartest, but
the one that responds more effectively to change.
What is however the definition of a change? Change can be a process of transformation of an
individual or an organism, the differentiation of behaviour and function, the modification of an
existing state, and the methodical movement from one point to another in a systematic and
planned manner. In any case, it is an important element for the survival and development of a
person, an organization or even a business (Deming, 1982).
The reasons and causes that impose a change can be economic, innovative, technological,
organizational, demographic, while a change can be handled in different ways: positive or
negative, voluntary and planned, universal or partial, voluntary or enforced, systematic,
random, reactive, gradual (Dean, 1993; Montana and Charnov, 2002).
Through the review of the relevant literature, one could find that various change management
models have been proposed. One typical model is that of Fullan's (2001), which distinguishes
three basic stages. The first is about introducing a review of the current state of affairs that
demands the need for change, taking the decision to start the process of change and developing
devotion to it. The second stage is intended to implement the change. In particular, the change
in practice is planned and applied, devotion is developed and maintained, progress and
emerging problems are monitored and controlled. The third and final stage is to internalize the
change. Thus, change is no longer considered to be new and becomes part of the normal way
of working, acting and operating the individual, the organization or society.
Of equal interest is the Lewin model, according to which the effective course of change follows
three stages in order to become permanent. The first stage is the one of unfreezing the existing
situation, where the need for change is created. The second stage is that of moving to a new
situation (changing), identifying new situations, internalizing new behavior and acquiring new
expertise. The final stage is refreezing the new situation in order to become permanent. In this
stage it is intended to stabilize the new situation and to avoid regression in the older situation
(Cummings, Bridgman and Brown, 2016).
The existence of different stages shows that the change does not take place automatically. There
is a need for a great effort in order to be established. In addition, at various evolutionary stages,
negative emotions such as fear, frustration, anxiety, distress, loss of control, uncertainty often
can emerge. As a result, people's resistance and negativity towards change are often projected.
Consequently, accepting, completing and implementing a change requires effort at many
levels: individual, social, collective, political, educational. First of all, it must be understood
that individuals have different values, beliefs, perceptions and experiences, so they have to be
persuaded in many different ways about the benefits of change. It must also be a common
vision, a change in the existing culture, anticipation and timely response to resistance to change,
active participation, support and engagement of all involved, good practices, appropriate

Technological changes: The four phases of the Industrial Revolution
Since Prometheus stole the fire of knowledge from the gods on Mount Olympus and bestowed
it upon mankind, humans have not stopped fiddling with it and creating striking innovations
all throughout their evolution. The history of technology is particularly broad. On the one hand,
it concerns the process of invention, construction and use of objects, and on the other hand the
exploration of the social, economic, political and ethical implications of the application of
technology in our lives. Technology and science are intertwined in a strange way, as technology
is seen as an application of scientific knowledge, but also a prerequisite of science.
Until the end of the 18th century there was no technology in the sense that we use it today.
There was, however, only the technique, a set of arts and skills, which was transmitted by the
craftsman to the apprentice. The end of the 18th century is linked to the first Industrial
Revolution, a term originally used by the historian Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975), to describe
what happened in England from 1760 to 1830. According to Eric Hobsbawm (1999), the first
phase covers the period between 1780 and 1840. Among the key factors that led to the outbreak
of the revolution were immigration and demographic. The basic technological dimensions of
this revolution concern the mechanization of fabric production and the subsequent development
of the textile industry, the development of the steel industry and the great impetus for transport
by creating steam and steam. There is a new power source, steam, an element that points to the
wider dimensions of the industrial revolution. On the one hand, it is linked to the development
of the capitalist system and, on the other, to changes in social, economic and cultural structures.
There is also a significant change in the nature of human labor. People are starting to move
away from the earth. In new workplaces, workers work on a strict, exhausting schedule. The
tasks they perform are usually monotonous and require high discipline and education.
The second phase of the industrial revolution mainly concerns the period between 1850 and
1914 and it is linked to the demographic development in western countries, urbanization and
technological advances in communications. The urban landscape is determined by the railroad,
creating new cities, turning small towns into industrial centers, multiplying the populations of
the harbors. At the same time, Henry Ford puts everyone on the roads with internal-combustion
engines: cars, buses, and trucks. Forms of energy increasingly used are electricity, gas and oil.
Gradually the working class consciousness comes not only to England but also to continental
Europe. New ideologies are emerging (Marxism), workers are united against employers,
claiming better working conditions. Therefore, compulsory and free primary education is
institutionalized, while the tertiary education is accessible (Gaganakis, 1999).
The Third Industrial Revolution commences in the second half of the 20th century and is
connected with the development of technology and renewable energy sources, improved
communication and increased productivity. The predominant form of energy is nuclear, and
the development of electrical appliances and computers are a major development. The
development and dissemination of digital skills is an important reference point for many
national and international policies on education and training of human resources. Workers need
more and more specialized knowledge, which increases the opportunities for information,
communication and dialogue (OECD, 2015; Zinnbauer, 2007). However, despite the fact that
3,2 billion people worldwide use the internet, only 7% of households in the less developed
countries have access to the Internet (International Telecommunication Union, 2015).

Continuing, the 4th Industrial Revolution relies on the technological and digital developments
of the third phase and causes rapid changes in production systems, administration, management
and governance. Billions of people are linked to mobile phones, the potential of which is
unimaginable: unprecedented processing power, storage capacity, access to knowledge. What
is more robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, 3-D
printing, biotechnology, energy storage, nanotechnology bring about enormous possibilities.
In addition, transport and communication costs will drop, new ecosystems, such as
Environmental Informatics will develop, citizens will be empowered by using technology. It is
argued that there will be great impact on business, government and people.
In particular, according to Klaus Schwab (2015), the Founder and Executive Chairman of the
World Economic Forum, new ways of serving existing needs will be created. Well- established
incumbents will be ousted by innovative competitors who have access to global digital
platforms for research, development, marketing, sales, and distribution. Besides, major shifts
will also occur, as growing transparency, consumer engagement, and new patterns of consumer
behavior force companies to adapt the way they design, market, and deliver products and
services. Last but not least, physical products and services will be enhanced with digital
capabilities. As far as the government is concerned, citizens will have the chance to engage
with public authorities more directly, as they will voice their opinions, coordinate their efforts
and even supervise governments. Οn one hand they will increase their control over populations
but on the other hand their central role of conducting policy will diminish because of
redistribution and decentralization of power. Governments’ survival will depend on the levels
of transparency, effectiveness and efficiency they present. Regarding the impact on people, it
is regarded that the fourth revolution will change not only what we do but also who we are.
There will be significant changes regarding identity, privacy, ownership, work hours, leisure
time, relationships, skills, consumption patterns, values, beliefs, moral and ethical boundaries
(World Economic Forum, 2016).
How possible is it for us to handle the technological changes and in which ways?
Jack Ma argues that every technology brings about not only great jobs, new careers and success,
but also serious problems. Needless to say that both the first and the second industrial
revolutions were followed by the two World Wars. Besides. “Scientific knowledge is creating
opportunities and solutions, while at the same time fuelling disruptive waves of change in every
sector. Unprecedented innovation in science and technology … is raising fundamental
questions about what it is to be human” (OECD, 2018:3). These changes are inevitably rapid
and often uncontrollable not only for the majority of people but also for the governments. We
cannot be sure of their proper management, but we can, on the basis of existing theoretical and
research data, guess what we have to do.
Already the official texts of international organizations point out the need for universal,
collective, inclusive and transparent government frameworks capable of building confidence
and adopting new advances. There is also a need for a global space where international
organizations, technology companies, regulators, academia and civil society can connect to
contribute to the development of all people. However, while universalism is the principle of
the human development approach, though it is not enough. It is necessary to be translated into
practice by identifying and breaking down barriers that exclude certain groups. Some universal
policies need to be reoriented, since there are many disparities. Besides, even though human
development is achieved, it does not mean that it is sustained. Progress may be slowed or even
reversed. In such a context, people must be empowered even if policies and relevant actors fail

to deliver. They will get stronger when they demand their rights, raise their voice, seek to
redress one situation. In addition, to foster inclusive development, policies should be inclusive,
formulating an employment - led growth strategy with a focus on creating productive and
rewarding employment opportunities in sectors where poor people live and work, enhancing
inclusion in productive resources, taking high - impact multidimensional interventions (UN,
2016).
Regarding people they will be able to handle and cope with these changes to a great extent
when they feel secure and confident about the necessity of this change. Under these particular
circumstances, different professional groups need to redefine their work profile and strengthen
it with skills that will allow them to respond to the mental, physical and emotional demands of
the new labour market. Tackling these skills challenges will require significant policy efforts
and systemic reforms in education and training of human capital from both public and private
sources (Panagiotopoulos and Karanikola, 2017).
Training and education contribute significantly to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness
of an organization and have a positive impact on the creation of a healthy working environment,
increasing employee loyalty, reducing retirement (Bartlett, 2001; Schwepker, 2001). In
addition, according to the OECD (2018: 3-4), "education can make the difference whether
people embrace the challenges they are confronted with or whether they are defeated by them."
What is more, “education has a vital role to play in developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and
values that enable people to contribute to and benefit from an inclusive and sustainable future.
Learning to form clear and purposeful goals, working with others with different perspectives,
finding untapped opportunities and identifying multiple solutions to big problems will be
essential in coming years. Education needs to aim to do more than prepare young people for
the world of work; it needs to equip students with the skills they need to become active,
responsible and engaged citizens”. In addition, the OECD Learning Framework 2030 (2018)
has developed a learning compass, including right knowledge (cognitive, meta-cognitive,
social, emotional, physical and practical) and attitudes (personal, local, societal, global).
Regarding the skills that the 21st century citizen must possess, on a first level, there are the
basic skills such as numeracy, literacy and basic digital skills. Research shows the important
benefits of these skills in the lives of adults, their families and their communities, as better
socio-economic opportunities and employment opportunities are guaranteed (UNESCO
Institute for Lifelong Learning, 2013; Vorhaus et al., 2011). On a second level, there are the
key competences and the higher, more complex skills. Skills that open to personal fulfillment,
development and prosperity, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment. Science and
foreign languages are referred to as some of them. Transversal skills, including
entrepreneurship, critical thinking, problem solving, learning to learn, financial literacy,
innovation and creativity is another important category. The construction of these skills can
contribute to the development of self-confidence, self-fulfillment, and personal efficiency and
performance (Schuller et al., 2006). Similarly, Fullan (2016) refers to deep learning which
involves the six Cs: character, collaboration, citizenship, communication, critical thinking and
creativity (Fullan, 2016).
In addition, there is a strong demand for digital skills, since they are in lack in Europe at all
levels. 20% Europeans have no digital skills at all, while almost half the EU population lacks
basic digital skills. The number of unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals is expected to
double to 756.000 by 2020. These skills are of great importance, since they increase the
opportunities for information, communication and dialogue (OECD, 2015; Zinnbauer, 2007).

Therefore, the development of proper policies, adequate learning and training and delivery of
appropriate skills can contribute to the management of the fourth industrial revolution and its
impacts. It is often argued that the world today is a complex ecosystem of interconnections. In
order to identify long-term opportunities and threats requiring effective policy responses,
leaders need a holistic view of the issues of global change (Global Economic Forum).
DISCUSSION
Changes in our lives are inevitable and they are often universal and global. According to
various change management models, we are in the process of being introduced. At this stage,
there is a need to release from the past and analyze the need for change. Of great importance
will be the implementation of appropriate national and international policies, as well as the
development of appropriate supportive structures with the main objective of communicating,
informing and developing dialogue on new trends and developments. The internalization of
change requires a great deal of acceptance of developments but also the attempt to align with
the new framework, which is becoming more and more complex and often threatening. We are
all called upon to evolve and redefine our skillset and mindset to ensure basic rights, such as
those of employment and employment. Training with the provision of appropriate skills,
knowledge and attitudes is required to play an active role in finding, acquiring and maintaining
a job. Proper and appropriate knowledge and skills will strengthen the workers' work profile
so that they can cope with the new challenges of the fourth industrial revolution.
Future Research
The mankind is witnessing great changes and challenges. Technological developments concern
citizens of all countries, developed and developing. Based on the international texts and
policies there seems to be a willingness to manage technological and consequent changes on a
global basis. At a first level, emphasis is placed on capturing the effects of the industrial
revolution on key areas of human living. However, various questions arise. To what extent is
the world community truly aware of the meaning of the fourth industrial revolution? To what
extent are national policies willing or able to meet the demands of the industrial revolution?
Will we manage to handle these changes so that they can finally be implemented and
internalized? It is obvious that these questions need to be answered.
