Abstract

Faced with the increasing number of challenges that came with globalization, the developed countries have become aware of the insufficiency of traditional production systems and increased investments in technological developments in the production sector. With successive technological developments, the competition in the production sector has increased, and businesses have had to undergo major changes. It was aimed with these changes to respond quickly to dynamic market conditions and customer demands. The project, which was firstly introduced by Germany as Industry 4.0, affects enterprises both technically and socially. Employees have to adapt to digitalized production systems and keep up with technological developments. In a world where inter-business and inter-disciplinary studies and collaborations increase and operations are carried out on a project basis, project managers are obliged to adapt quickly to the continuing digital transformation. In this context, the chapter aimed to identify the impact of digital transformation on project managers' competencies.
