It argues that the use of some technologies included in the Industrial Metaverse concept is bringing humans, after being marginalized by machines during the Industrial Revolution and by computers in the subsequent digital era, back to their centrality in the industrial landscape boosting their performance. Furthermore, positive impacts on sustainability have been noted, which, however, require further numerical investigation. On the other hand, the absence of consolidated academic metrics to evaluate those relations calls for further research to fully understand the impact of the Industrial Metaverse on human resources and sustainability in a design and construction project and thereafter in operations and to develop appropriate measures to monitor its effects, through a proposed model.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 3","pages":"144-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144299371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Metaverse Meets Management: A Modular Approach to Augment Management Practices With Augmented and Virtual Reality","authors":"Nicola Felicini;Letizia Mortara","doi":"10.1109/EMR.2024.3520858","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EMR.2024.3520858","url":null,"abstract":"Practitioners in strategic management often struggle to address the complexities of strategic planning, leading many companies to adopt digital tools to improve their decision-making processes. The metaverse paradigm of merging physical and digital worlds offers a promising platform for a deeper integration of digital capabilities into these practices. Metaverse interfaces such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will play a critical role in making this integration possible. Yet, their potential in strategic management remains largely unexplored. This led to a lack of understanding of how immersive technologies can be utilized in the field, particularly in overcoming cognitive limitations associated with decision-making. This study addresses the gap with a twofold contribution. First, it leverages the concept of technology affordances to clarify the potential of AR and VR in mitigating cognitive bottlenecks. By examining the features of contemporary immersive tools, this article identifies cognitive affordances enabled by AR and VR and shows how these affordances can address cognitive limitations. Second, the article introduces a modular design toolkit for practitioners to create AR/VR applications tailored to their needs. We demonstrate our findings through practical examples and discuss managerial implications of adopting metaverse interfaces in organizational settings, as well as the potential downsides of their implementation.","PeriodicalId":35585,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Engineering Management Review","volume":"53 3","pages":"71-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144299425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
