TL;DR: In this article, the scope of artificial intelligence and its applications in today's manufacturing sector of India is discussed and specific changes in the current policies and the working parameter are also suggested.
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is globally acknowledged as innovative technology. Today, many corporations and individuals are making an effort to harness the capabilities of AI in almost all sectors viz. healthcare, education, manufacturing, smart cities, agriculture, etc. The concept of ‘Smart Factories’ and ‘Industry 4.0’ has prompted many global enterprises to use automation and intelligent robots to improve manufacturing and enhance the quality of the finished product and overall productivity. Indeed, artificial intelligence is a vital tool to augment manufacturing by facilitating the R&D, enhancing the quality, reducing the errors, and maintaining the supply chain by projecting demand forecasting and simulation of outcomes to foster higher margins in stiff competition. However, the requirement is to build an industry that should be compliant with such disruptive changes and a workforce compatible enough to create a collaborative environment for both men and technology to work productively. Thus to conduct this study, several keywords and their combinations were used and explored using Google Scholar. The relevant articles, papers, and journals obtained were examined, and data pertinent to the study were collected, examined, and aggregated. Furthermore, specific changes in the current policies and the working parameter were also suggested. In this paper, the scope of artificial intelligence and its applications in today’s manufacturing sector of India is discussed. Here, the Indian manufacturing sector’s present status is focused primarily, the limitations are identified and how they can be dealt with.

TL;DR: The authors provide an analytic and systematic review of the impact of March and Simon's seminal Organizations on management research and discuss the book's value for current research and propose future applications of it.
Abstract: We provide an analytic and systematic review of the impact of March and Simon’s seminal Organizations on management research and discuss the book’s value for current research and propose future applications of it. Building on bibliometric and text‐mining approaches, our empirical analysis reveals that although Organizations was contextually based in the industrial milieu of the 1950s, its concepts have found ongoing resonance with scholars. Further, we find that much of this resonance appears to be driven by the ability of scholars in different ‘schools of thought’ to find useful insights from March and Simon’s generalized theoretical structure. However, we also observe that scholars have been selective in their usage of ideas from the book over the last 60 years. Based our analysis, we propose a particular set of future research areas, including a focus on new organizational forms and extending March and Simon’s ideas to multi‐level research, which can benefit from more holistically drawing on Organizations and connect its original ideas to address current management problems.

TL;DR: Data analysis methods are proposed to facilitate better understanding and prediction of the energy consumption of digital production processes under an Internet of Things (IoT) framework and are introduced in order to complete this research.
Abstract: The topic of ‘Industry 4.0’ has become increasingly popular in manufacturing and academia since it was first published. Under this trending topic, researchers and companies have pointed out many related capabilities required by current manufacturing systems, such as automation, interoperability, consciousness, and intelligence. To achieve these capabilities, data is considered the vitally important connecting media that integrates different manufacturing objects and activities. Additionally, sustainability is one of the most important research areas of Industry 4.0. Although modern digital manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly automated, the issue of sustainability still attracts attention, and is related to many processing factors that are present in a wide variety of systems. As a result, defining the energy consumption behaviour of digital manufacturing systems and discovering more efficient usage methods has been established as a crucial research target. In this paper, data analysis methods are proposed to facilitate better understanding and prediction of the energy consumption of digital production processes under an Internet of Things (IoT) framework. A Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) system is applied as a case study, in which a variety of real-time raw data is collected within machine logs from this ongoing Additive Manufacturing (AM) system. The machine data logs are combined with the product layout data and analysed using three data analysis techniques: linear regression, the decision tree method and the Back-propagation Neural Network method. The future work is introduced in order to complete this research.

TL;DR: A literature review of current and future challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber physical systems and identifies a conceptual framework for increasing resilience with AI through automation supporting both, a technical and human level.
Abstract: This article conducts a literature review of current and future challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber physical systems. The literature review is focused on identifying a conceptual framework for increasing resilience with AI through automation supporting both, a technical and human level. The methodology applied resembled a literature review and taxonomic analysis of complex internet of things (IoT) interconnected and coupled cyber physical systems. There is an increased attention on propositions on models, infrastructures and frameworks of IoT in both academic and technical papers. These reports and publications frequently represent a juxtaposition of other related systems and technologies (e.g. Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, Industry 4.0 etc.). We review academic and industry papers published between 2010 and 2020. The results determine a new hierarchical cascading conceptual framework for analysing the evolution of AI decision-making in cyber physical systems. We argue that such evolution is inevitable and autonomous because of the increased integration of connected devices (IoT) in cyber physical systems. To support this argument, taxonomic methodology is adapted and applied for transparency and justifications of concepts selection decisions through building summary maps that are applied for designing the hierarchical cascading conceptual framework.

TL;DR: Porter's concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities", or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage as discussed by the authors, has become an essential part of international business thinking, taking strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities.
Abstract: COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into 'activities', or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage. Now an essential part of international business thinking, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. That the phrases 'competitive advantage' and 'sustainable competitive advantage' have become commonplace is testimony to the power of Porter's ideas. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE has guided countless companies, business school students, and scholars in understanding the roots of competition. Porter's work captures the extraordinary complexity of competition in a way that makes strategy both concrete and actionable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation, which is based on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, including social and institutional entrepreneurship.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to position sustainable entrepreneurship in relation to sustainability innovation. The framework builds on a typology of sustainable entrepreneurship, develops it by including social and institutional entrepreneurship, i.e. the application of the entrepreneurial approach towards meeting societal goals and towards changing market contexts, and relates it to sustainability innovation. The framework provides a reference for managers to introduce sustainability innovation and to pursue sustainable entrepreneurship. Methodologically, the paper develops an approach of qualitative measurement of sustainable entrepreneurship and how to assess the position of a company in a classification matrix. The degree of environmental or social responsibility orientation in the company is assessed on the basis of environmental and social goals and policies, the organization of environmental and social management in the company and the communication of environmental and social issues. The market impact of the company is measured on the basis of market share, sales growth and reactions of competitors. The paper finds conditions under which sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainability innovation emerge spontaneously. The research has implications for theory and practitioners in that it clarifies which firms are most likely under specific conditions to make moves towards sustainability innovation. The paper makes a contribution in showing that extant research needs to be expanded with regard to motivations for innovation and that earlier models of sustainable entrepreneurship need to be refined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis, defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms.
Abstract: Summary Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm resource sharing in the form of industrial symbiosis and to replicate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis—defined to include physical exchanges of materials, energy, water, and by-products among diversified clusters of firms. It finds that “uncovering” existing symbioses has led to more sustainable industrial development than attempts to design and build eco-industrial parks incorporating physical exchanges. By examining 15 proposed projects brought to national and international attention by the U.S. President’s Council on Sustainable Development beginning in the early 1990s, and contrasting these with another 12 projects observed to share more elements of self-organization, recommendations are offered to stimulate the identification and uncovering of already existing “kernels” of symbiosis. In addition, policies and practices are suggested to identify early-stage precursors of potentially larger symbioses that can be nurtured and developed further. The article concludes that environmentally and economically desirable symbiotic exchanges are all around us and now we must shift our gaze to find and foster them.
