Covid-19 had a significant impact in South Africa. The disease has caused widespread disruption in various areas of the economy. The pandemic devastated several areas, for example, economic growth, social and political life, and the healthcare sector. However, there was a significant improvement in the adoption and use of technology in delivering various services. This improved response to the fourth industrial revolution was registered in the various sectors of the South African economy. Investigate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on implementing the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies in South Africa. Identify and discuss areas of the South African economy that have responded strongly to 4IR due to the pandemic. Compulsory sources to peruse: 11.Ojo-Fafore, E., Aigbavboa, C. and Thwala, W., 2021.

BML Munjal University, Gurugram, HaryanaAbstractToday, the health care and medical sector is adopting digital technologies aggressively. However, this adoption also hassignificant challenges, especially during COVID-19. This research aims to identify and categorize the significantchallenges related with application of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies in the medical device industry. An expert-basedsurvey is carried to capture the perception of medical device industry leaders about the challenges associated with theimplementation of digital technologies. Further, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) method was used for an empiricalinvestigation of the hierarchy and interdependencies of identified challenges. The authors have proposed a mind map andconceptual model of hierarchy and interdependencies of challenges associated with the digital transformation of themedical device industry towards I4.0. Industry leaders and policymakers worldwide are defying challenges while thedigital transformation of the organizations post COVID-19. The I4.0 implementation challenges identified and ategorizedin this research may aid as a guide for medical device manufacturing organizations while designing a strategy for I4.0transformation and to make sure that they start on the right -footing. Most of the existing work is focused on theadvantages of I4.0 for managing the organization's post-COVID-19, lacks thoroughness and testing. Owing to theidentified gap, this study intends to empirically identify the critical challenges associated with applying I4.0 technologiesin the medical device manufacturing sector. This study is a pioneer in identifying and categorizing the vital challengesneeded to deal with this critical situation. A potential area of future research can be the validation of the identifiedchallenges with a larger sample size.Keywords: Industry 4.0; Medical device manufacturing; Digital technologies COVID-19; Interpretive structuralmodeling (ISM); Smart factory.1.
