Risk Management Framework for Fourth Industrial Revolution Technologies
This book focuses on major challenges posed by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), particularly the associated risks. By recognizing and addressing these risks, it bridges the gap between technological advancements and effective risk management. It further facilitates a swift adoption of technology and equips readers with the knowledge to be cautious during its implementation. Divided into three parts, it covers an overview of 4IR, explores the risks and risk management techniques, and comprehensive risk management framework specifically tailored for the 4IR.
Features:
• Establishes a risk management framework for Industry 4.0 technologies.
• Provides ‘one stop shop’ of different technologies emerging in the fourth industrial revolution.
• Follows consistent structure for each key Industry 4.0 technology in separate chapters.
• Details required risk management skills for the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution.
• Covers risk monitoring, control, and mitigation measures.
This book is aimed at graduate students, technologist enthusiasts, and researchers in computer sciences, Technology management, business management, and industrial engineering.
