Özet:

This article aims to compare Germany’s Industry 4.0 road map with Turkey’s Digital Turkey road map published in 2018. According to the findings of the article, the road map of digitalization of Turkey has never been referred to the issues of standardization, modeling, digitalized business and workplace design, and a plan of action has not been made on the preparation of the legal substrate in accordance with the requirements of digitalization. As Turkey progresses in the process of digital transformation in the industry, the shortcomings in these issues will appear and the road map will need to be revised in this direction. Secondly, the problems that Turkish and German companies face in the implementation of digital transformation in the industry are compared using secondary data. According to the findings obtained, German companies have faced problems arising from the unacceptance of digital transformation by employees while carrying out digital transformation in the industry, data problems, coordination problems within the company, the difficulties of the current structure in the application of Industry 4.0, undefined standards and the same work in different layers. Turkey’s companies have reduced all the challenges they will face in this regard to investment costs, they have not yet realized problems such as data security, undefined standards, new job and workplace design, insufficient legal and technical infrastructure.
