Abstract


The purpose of this study is to research terminology of Industry 4.0 in some of the biggest companies in Czech Republic. The main objective was to find out whether they know about the concept of Industry 4.0 and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Further goals were to find out which terminology they use in companies, and if they have practical experience with the technologies. Qualitative research was conducted via an online questionnaire. Results have shown some terms used by scientific literature are unknown in practice and that the view of companies on this topic might be different from the view of researchers based on their responses. This calls for more in-depth research for which we present recommendations.
