This study empirically examined how the technology innovation competence of the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises affects management performance. It also analyzed whether there would be any difference in business performance between the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises and the non-4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises. The samples for analysis were analyzed using in-situ data of 2,543 enterprises classified as technical innovation enterprises and the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises through Korea Technology Finance Corporation's in-house technical evaluation. Variables for technology innovation competence were analyzed using variables such as the size of manpower of research and development, the level of research and development organizations, the number of intellectual property rights, the ratio of intangible assets, the amount of knowledge properties, the amount of research and development investment, and the intensiveness degree of research and development. In terms of the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises' technology innovation competence on business performance, all factors except for the level of research and development organizations were found to affect business performance, which supported the study hypothesis. In particular, it was confirmed that the amount of knowledge properties has had a relatively greater impact on business performance. In addition, the average comparative analysis between the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises and the non-4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises confirmed that the 4th Industrial Revolution Enterprises conducted higher values in the business performance.

This study examined users' awareness to establish futurity of libraries and to propose strategies in the era of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution. For this purpose, the awareness survey was conducted of users, and the survey consisted of questions about the awareness of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution, the current state of using technologies and devices of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution, and the futurity of libraries of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution. The results are as follows: First, users were interested in the $4^{th}$ industrial Revolution, but they thought that new technologies are poorly adopted in the libraries. Second, users were most frequently using mobile phone, QR code, and Beacon. Especially, mobile phone was a most frequently used device in the libraries. However, users were not satisfied with technologies and devices provided by the libraries. Third, users expected the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution have a positive influence on future of libraries, but they were worried about losses of opportunities and jobs. Forth, users agreed with necessity of new technologies of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution for libraries services. They wanted application of the technologies, expecially, in online services. Ultimately, this study suggested some meaningful insights and strategies through comparative analysis of the above findings and librarians' awareness survey results.

This study discusses the 4th industrial revolution and technology commercialization (TC), identifies success factor (SFs) for TC from the literature review, and empirically tests these factors through questionnaires to executives in the 4th industrial revolution industries. Literature review identifies 11 SFs and they are communication, management support, incentives for TC, common goals, understanding business, awareness of TC, cooperation among partners, government support, concreteness of technology, demand-pull technology, and experience of TC. Questionnaires were administered to CEOs and CIOs in 202 companies in the 4th industrial revolution industries and final response rate was 64.4% (260 out of 404) that is considered to be high. Respondents rate cooperation among partners as the most important, followed by management support, communication, common goals, and incentives for TC. To successfully pursue technology commercialization projects in the 4th industrial revolution industries, the attention should be focused on SFs that are evaluated as very important.

The fourth industrial revolution will greatly contribute to the entry of objects into an intelligent society through technologies such as big data and an artificial intelligence. Through the revolution, we were able to understand human behavior and awareness, and through the use of an artificial intelligence, we established ourselves as a key tool in various fields such as medicine and science. However, the fourth industrial revolution has a negative side with a positive future. In this study, an analysis was conducted using text mining techniques based on unstructured big data collected through social media. We wanted to look at keywords related to the fourth industrial revolution by year (2016, 2017 and 2018) and understand the meaning of each keyword. In addition, we understood how the keywords related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution changed with the change of the year and wanted to use R to conduct a Keyword Analysis to identify the recognition flow closely related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution through the keyword flow associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Finally, people's perceptions of the fourth industrial revolution were identified by looking at the positive and negative feelings related to the fourth industrial revolution by year. The analysis showed that negative opinions were declining year after year, with more positive outlook and future.

This paper explored the impact of adaptive efforts for the 4th Industrial Revolution(hereafter, 4IR) on social cohesion at national level. To examine this relationship, Latent Growth Model was applied to thirty one OECD membership countries, 2006-2015. Adaptive efforts for 4IR was measured by the 4IR Relative Readiness(WEF, 2016) and social cohesion was measured by Corruption Perception Index(Transparency International) and trust on politicians(WEF). Results showed that corruption perception significantly decreased by the 4IR Relative Readiness and legal protection(judiciary independency and corporate ethics) and trust on politicians significantly increased by judiciary independency. These results imply that public and corporate efforts for the 4IR does not necessarily have negative impact on social cohesion as long as legal protection such as judiciary independency and corporate ethics are equally pursuit at national level.

At present, we are at the point of change of the 4th industrial revolution era due to the development of artificial intelligence(AI) and rapid technological innovation that no one can predict until now. This study started from the question of 'What role should home economics education play in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?'. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by AI, cloud computing, Internet of Things(IoT), big data, and Online to Offline(O2O). It will drastically change the social system, science and technology and the structure of the profession. Since the dehumanization of robots and artificial intelligence may occur, the 4th Industrial Revolution Education should be sought to foster future human resources with humanity and citizenship for the future community. In addition, the implication of education in the fourth industrial revolution, which will bring about a change to a super-intelligent and hyper-connected society, is that the role of education should be emphasized so that humans internalize their values as human beings. Character education should be established as a generalized and internalized consciousness with a concept established in the integration of the curriculum, and concrete practical strategies should be prepared. In conclusion, home economics education in the 4th industrial revolution era should play a leading role in the central role of character education, and intrinsic improvement of various human lives. The fourth industrial revolution will change not only what we do, or human mental and physical activities, but also who we are, or human identity. In the information society and digital society, it is important how quickly and accurately it is possible to acquire scattered knowledge. In the information society, it is required to learn how to use knowledge for human beings in rapid change. As such, the fourth industrial revolution seeks to lead the family, organization, and community positively by influencing the systems that shape our lives. Home economics education should take the lead in this role.

The purpose of this paper is to review the effects of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution on job competency development by the Transitional Labor Market(TLM) model, and suggest job competency development policiy in the rea of the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution. The $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution will create new jobs, destroy many current jobs, and will fundamentally change employment pattern, contents of jobs and ways of works. In these circumstances, we will confront more risks in each stage of labor market transition. To minimize the risks of TLM, we should reform education and develop life time career and job competency. We have to train high level talented persons to lead the $4^{th}$ Industrial Revolution. We have to retrain employed people to adjust new technology and to enhance employability and adaptability. We have to train vulnerable groups so that they may adjust new circumstance. Government should develop life time job competency development open platform.
