Identifying industry 5.0 contributions to sustainable development: A strategy roadmap for delivering sustainability values

Scholars believe that the newly introduced Industry 5.0 has potential to move beyond profit-centered productivity of 4.0 and promote sustainable development goals such as human-centricity, socio-environmental sustainability, resilience. However, little been done understand how this ill-defined phenomenon may deliver its indented sustainability values despite these speculative promises. To address knowledge gap, present study developed a strategy roadmap explains mechanism by which delivers intended functions. The first reference model describes technical functional properties phenomenon. further conducted content-centric synthesis literature identified functions 5.0. Next, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique was employed identify sequential relationships among construct 5.0-enabled development. ISM involved collecting opinions 11 experts through expert panel meetings. Results revealed 16 Circular intelligent products, employee assistance, automation, open innovation, renewable integration, supply chain adaptability are examples identified. These highly interrelated should be in specific order so synergies complementarities them would maximize value gains. 5.0-driven is expected provide better understanding ways can contribute development, explaining managed their contribution values. also highlights important avenues for future research, emphasizing enablers Government or Corporate Governance
