Abstract: | Background: In the face of changes taking place as a result of the increasing digitization,
automation, and robotization of life and the economy, questions regarding the essence of the
functioning of modern enterprises and about the emerging new pattern of operation seem to be
more and more relevant. Aim of the article: The article focuses on the issues connected with
implementation of Industry 4.0 in enterprises, the di culties involved, and the limitations and
challenges that management is facing in the process. Materials and Method: The advantage of the
study is its empirical nature. The participants were 39 Industry 4.0 experts from various Polish
companies that have participated. At the same time, the aim has been to synthesize theory and
practice and to draw attention to potential changes in the area of improvement of the economic
results of enterprises that may result from Industry 4.0. Results: The research identified limitations
and challenges enterprises may face in connection with the implementation and subsequent stages
of development of Industry 4.0 from the practical point of view. Conclusions: Industry 4.0 is an
innovative approach to generating a new quality of production. It requires, however, careful and
