| contents | Beyond “Industry 4.0”: B2B factory networks as an alternative path towards the digital transformation of manufacturing and work Florian Butollo Lea Schneidemesser Our article contributes theoretical and empirical evidence for variations of digitalized manufacturing. Revisiting Piore and Sabel’s work on Flexible Specialization, we criticize the inherent one-sidedness of the Industry 4.0 discourse to which we juxtapose empirical findings on platform-mediated factory networks. In these, flexibility is facilitated rather by the digital interconnection of a far-flung network of small-scale manufacturers than though sophisticated production technology. The effects on work are ambivalent. They entail potentials for a crafts-like and skill-intensive paradigm of small-scale manufacturing that is beneficial to an upgrading of work but also perils of a race to the bottom in price-sensitive industries. publication.journalArticle |
