Abstract

This paper analyzes the emergence of Industry 4.0 from a critical approach that, despite recognizing the important changes underway, rejects the understanding of this phenomenon as the advent of the 4th. Industrial Revolution. The analysis proposes guidelines for the design of national industrial and technological policies based on the understanding that the core technologies of this new technical-economic paradigm are developed within the scope of different configurations of globalized networks. A typology for these global networks is then proposed with ramifications on the different approaches to policy strategies.
