Abstract

The current industry is going through a period of change, in which technologies are more evident and integrated, considered by many to be the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the so-called Industry 4.0. In the words of Klaus Schwab (2016) “we are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing, the way we live, work and relate to each other’’. It has been characterized by the incorporation of emerging information technologies into the production environment, promoting substantial gains in productivity, flexibility and transforming the nature of industrial work. Industry 4.0 goes beyond traditional automation, anchored in broader concepts such as vertical and horizontal integration of systems. More than that, its impacts affect the entire business, political, economic and social sphere, which makes it, not by chance, being taxed as the fourth industrial revolution. n this perspective, this article aims to achieve and present the impacts that industry 4.0 brings to associations from the perspective of Brazil and Portugal.
