A chapter in Out-thinking Organizational Communications, 2017, pp 33-47 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter delivers an argumentation that revolves around the individual actors who drive the process of digitalisation and Industry 4.0. By portraying the “Net Generation” or “Generation Y”—digital natives experiencing their adolescence around the year 2000—the author outlines how the process of digitalisation will change the way we live and think. Instead of hesitating to accept the benefits of digitalisation, individuals may as well welcome, adapt to and consequently shape the way how machines and algorithms change the way information is handled and business is conducted. Communication managers could be the ones to accept and seize a leading role in helping companies and individuals in organisations to cope with the challenges and opportunities of this development.
