SOCIAL INNOVATION AND INDUSTRY 4.0: A PROPOSITION FOR THEORETICAL-CONCEPTUAL INTEGRATION

Industrial revolutions lead to increasingly accelerated technological developments. The new industrial revolution, called Industry 4.0, and all its technological diffusion, has tools and characteristics that provide significant socioeconomic impacts in the social context of countries. Faced with these changes, it is important to adopt a holistic view that encompasses solutions for social innovation systems. Thus, this article aims to investigate the relationship between the adoption of Industry 4.0 and the development of social innovation, through a systematic review of the literature. As a result, we propose an analysis framework where factors related to Industry 4.0 and social innovation can be visualized concomitantly. In addition, it is possible to perceive the use of different technological innovations, linked to Industry 4.0, which enable and leverage the promotion of social innovation, which, in turn, seeks to minimize or solve social and economic problems through sustainability, entrepreneurship, collaboration and technology.
