INDUSTRY 4.0 AND ITS ABERRATIONS
Gioacchino de Candia

The article analyzes the Program known as Industry 4.0, three years after its entry into force. Many shadows and few lights, which in the intentions of the Government that has launched this plan should positively revolutionize the Italian business and corporate structure, to produce a new “economic miracle”. The program suffers from an excess of rules, often in contradiction with each other, that make the path of “Industry 4.0” extremely cumbersome. The unsuccessful attempt of the so-called “jobs act” is also added, which according to the “Renzi government” should have produced an improvement in the conditions of the workers, but which in fact did not produce beneficial effects in the labor market (pp.42-51).

Keywords:Industry 4.0, Innovation, Digital revolution, Cyber-security, Smart-technology, National Business, Plan 4.0.
