At the same time, audio-based learning formats are attracting growing interest among learners because of their flexibility and suitability for workplace learning. However, a conceptual framework for AI-supported audio learning, as well as the potential of combining artificial intelligence with audio-based learning, has received little attention to date. This paper therefore presents a conceptual perspective on the design possibilities and educational potential of AI-supported audio learning formats.                  <\/div>\n               <\/div>\n               <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-scientific\"><strong>Industry 4.0 Science<\/strong> | Volume 42 | 2026 | Edition 5 | Pages 102-108 | DOI <a style=\"font-weight:bold !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.30844\/I4SE.26.5.12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.30844\/I4SE.26.5.12<\/a><\/div>            <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n      <\/a>\n   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card gito-pub-flex-item gito-pub-flex-item-1\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/ai-demonstrators-manufacturing\/\">\n         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-row\">         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column-image\">\n            <picture>\n               <source media=\"(max-width:640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/link_AdobeStock_311608924_Gorodenkoff-640x325.webp\">\n               <source media=\"(min-width:641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/link_AdobeStock_311608924_Gorodenkoff-196x180.webp\">\n               <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-image\" src=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/link_AdobeStock_311608924_Gorodenkoff-196x180.webp\" alt=\"Explaining AI in Industrial Production in an Accessible Way\">\n            <\/picture>\n         <\/div>\n            <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column\">               <div class=\"ellipsis\" style=\"height:166px !important;overflow:hidden;\" title=\"Explaining AI in Industrial Production in an Accessible Way\">                  <table class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-header\">\n                     <tr>\n                        <td>                           <h4 class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-title\" style=\"line-height:1.2em;\">Explaining AI in Industrial Production in an Accessible Way<\/h4>\n                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-subtitle\">Requirements for AI demonstrators to promote acceptance<\/div>                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/authors\/jennifer-link-en\/\">Jennifer Link<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-2407-3495\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/authors\/markus-harlacher-en\/\">Markus Harlacher<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5817-2920\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/autoren\/colin-srebny\/\">Colin Srebny<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/authors\/sascha-stowasser-en\/\">Sascha Stowasser<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2725-5793\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a><\/div>\n                        <\/td>\n                     <\/tr>\n                  <\/table>\n                  <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-text\">\n                     Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a wide range of possibilities in industrial production, but it also presents challenges regarding employee acceptance.

Because labor supply can only be expanded to a limited extent, there is a growing focus on designing work systems with productivity in mind. Autonomous systems offer significant potential in this regard. Their implementation requires not only technical adjustments but, above all, changes in organization, skills, and work design. This article analyzes empirically grounded change requirements in existing work systems as well as associated economic potential.                  <\/div>\n               <\/div>\n               <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-scientific\"><strong>Industry 4.0 Science<\/strong> | Volume 42 | 2026 | Edition 5 | Pages 44-50 | DOI <a style=\"font-weight:bold !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.30844\/I4SE.26.5.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.30844\/I4SE.26.5.5<\/a><\/div>            <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n      <\/a>\n   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card gito-pub-flex-item gito-pub-flex-item-1\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/complementors-digital-ecosystems\/\">\n         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-row\">         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column-image\">\n            <picture>\n               <source media=\"(max-width:640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Zabel_AdobeStock_260585096_radachynskyi-640x325.webp\">\n               <source media=\"(min-width:641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Zabel_AdobeStock_260585096_radachynskyi-196x180.webp\">\n               <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-image\" src=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Zabel_AdobeStock_260585096_radachynskyi-196x180.webp\" alt=\"Cooperation Routines of Complementors in Digital Ecosystems\">\n            <\/picture>\n         <\/div>\n            <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column\">               <div class=\"ellipsis\" style=\"height:166px !important;overflow:hidden;\" title=\"Cooperation Routines of Complementors in Digital Ecosystems\">                  <table class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-header\">\n                     <tr>\n                        <td>                           <h4 class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-title\" style=\"line-height:1.2em;\">Cooperation Routines of Complementors in Digital Ecosystems<\/h4>\n                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-subtitle\">A microfoundation of integrative dynamic capability<\/div>                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/authors\/christian-zabel-en\/\">Christian Zabel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4636-6679\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/autoren\/tahir-schmidt\/\">Tahir Schmidt<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2409-6665\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a><\/div>\n                        <\/td>\n                     <\/tr>\n                  <\/table>\n                  <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-text\">\n                     Complementors are central to value creation in digital ecosystems yet have limited leverage and must adapt through dynamic capabilities. Building on the Profiting From Innovation Framework, this study examines how integrative capabilities manifest for complementors through cooperative routines. Based on a systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed studies from 2020 to mid-2025 focusing on the microfoundation \u201corchestrating ecosystem actors\u201d, we identify two routine clusters. Complementors cooperate with other complementors via partner sensing, scouting, coalitions, resource sharing, and risk allocation while protecting critical assets. They cooperate with platform owners via multichannel boundary spanning, quality signaling, governance compliance, boundary resource integration, and co-development, while facing the risk of owner entry. Research gaps concern the formalization of cooperation routines, taxonomy, and B2B contexts.                  <\/div>\n               <\/div>\n               <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-scientific\"><strong>Industry 4.0 Science<\/strong> | Volume 42 | 2026 | Edition 4 | Pages 22-28 | DOI <a style=\"font-weight:bold !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.30844\/I4SE.26.4.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10.30844\/I4SE.26.4.3<\/a><\/div>            <\/div>\n         <\/div>\n      <\/a>\n   <\/div>\n   <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card gito-pub-flex-item gito-pub-flex-item-1\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/articles\/enabling-digital-trust-in-green-hydrogen-markets\/\">\n         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-row\">         <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column-image\">\n            <picture>\n               <source media=\"(max-width:640px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Voss_AdobeStock_1205289818_Maximusdn-640x325.jpg\">\n               <source media=\"(min-width:641px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Voss_AdobeStock_1205289818_Maximusdn-196x180.jpg\">\n               <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-image\" src=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Voss_AdobeStock_1205289818_Maximusdn-196x180.jpg\" alt=\"Enabling Digital Trust in Green Hydrogen Markets\">\n            <\/picture>\n         <\/div>\n            <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-column\">               <div class=\"ellipsis\" style=\"height:166px !important;overflow:hidden;\" title=\"Enabling Digital Trust in Green Hydrogen Markets\">                  <table class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-header\">\n                     <tr>\n                        <td>                           <h4 class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-title\" style=\"line-height:1.2em;\">Enabling Digital Trust in Green Hydrogen Markets<\/h4>\n                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-subtitle\">Trust-Building Information Systems and Mechanisms<\/div>                        <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-author\"><a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/autoren\/johanna-voss\/\">Johanna Vo\u00df<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/authors\/jens-poeppelbuss\/\">Jens P\u00f6ppelbu\u00df<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4960-7818\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"ORCID eintrag \u00f6ffnen.\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/assets\/vectors\/orcid.logo.icon.svg\" alt=\"ORCID Icon\" style=\"width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:middle;\"><\/a><\/div>\n                        <\/td>\n                     <\/tr>\n                  <\/table>\n                  <div class=\"gito-pub-frontend-post-card-text\">\n                     Building a global hydrogen economy requires more than technology and investment; it requires trust.

Nevertheless, adoption in the B2B context remains low. This paper examines adoption barriers based on a systematic literature review using Teece\u2019s dynamic capabilities approach. The analysis suggests that recurring obstacles can be structured along three dimensions: Sensing\u2014lack of ecosystem awareness, absence of scanning routines; Seizing\u2014IP concerns, governance uncertainty, adoption fatigue; Reconfiguring\u2014closed-innovation culture, lack of absorptive capacity.
