Komparace přístupu vybraných zemí k Průmyslu 4.0

The thesis deals with the approach of the Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Italy to Industry 4.0 (5.0) through the presented government initiatives and strategies. The aim of this thesis is to compare the approach of examined countries to Industry 4.0 and to identify similar and different elements of initiatives, the possible causes of these similarities and differences and based on the results to formulate recommendations for future Czech strategies related to Industry 4.0 and 5.0. The method of content analysis is used, which examines government documents from 2014–2018 and 2019–2020. The results of the work indicate general agreement of the initiatives in the focus on key technologies of Industry 4.0, research and development and education. Differences can be observed in the stated objectives of the initiatives, the implementation of the elements of Industry 5.0 and the way in which the objectives are achieved. For the future Czech strategy, an emphasis on consistency, practicality and focus on the creation of innovation centers and the implementation of elements of the newer Industry 5.0 concept can be recommended.
