Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) has revolutionized technological integration across industries, emphasizing smart manufacturing, digital transformation, and intelligent systems. However, the sustainability implications of IR 4.0 remain complex, especially within diverse socio-cultural contexts. This paper explores how Malaysia's unique cultural values influence the country’s readiness and capacity to integrate sustainability into Industry 4.0 adoption. Using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions as a framework, this study examines the interplay between cultural tendencies and sustainable practices within digital industrial transformation. The findings suggest that cultural values are not merely background factors but pivotal elements in shaping sustainable IR 4.0 readiness in Malaysia.
