Although this concept, which is the new production paradigm, appears only in relation to production enterprises and production methods, it has been later covered all stages of daily life and became an integral part of life. Industry 4.0, which has a place in law, environment, health, construction, education, accounting, advertising, e-commerce, marketing, game-entertainment, internet, retail and even country policies, has created great changes in these areas. In this article which is prepared in an eclectic way by examining international literature, the new digital transformation, its effects and its relationship with the mentioned fields are discussed such as human resources, marketing, finance/investment, lean production, business management and future strategies. In future studies, the effects and the relationship of Industry 4.0 in areas such as education, law, retail and environment which are not discussed in this article can be examined.
