## 5 Implications of the Study
### Implications for Research  
From mapping the risks caused by the implementation of Industry 4.0, the generated knowledge was consolidated, and thus, the results of the analysis presented some opportunities for future research, serving as an agenda of opportunities for future studies, such as the following:  
1. To provide more conclusive analyses and results regarding the identified risks, it is necessary to understand not only the risks themselves but also the impacts they can have on various spheres. This includes evaluating environmental, social, economic, and political-legal impacts as well as other relevant areas. This broader understanding will allow for a more comprehensive and effective approach to managing Industry 4.0 risks.
2. Investigating the risks associated with each technology during its implementation, identifying specificities and potential challenges that may arise. This process of detailed analysis will help develop more effective and personalized mitigation strategies for each Industry 4.0 technology.
3. The theoretical model proposed in this study is dynamic and adaptable, which means that, depending on its scope of application and investigation, dimensions and their respective risks can be added or removed. Therefore, it is possible to broaden the scope of the literature review to identify the risks caused by Industry 4.0 that are associated with healthcare services. Adding healthcare as a new dimension and discussing the risks pertaining to this new dimension is then suggested.
4. It is also worth noting that quantum risks can be investigated and further detailed through a new systematic literature review, which could provide insights and practical implications of the technologies in the context of Industry 4.0.
5. Additionally, expert opinions can reveal new risks that have not yet been disclosed or analyzed in the literature, which would allow an advancement of the state of the art regarding the theme of risks of Industry 4.0.
6. Based on this validation with experts, a model for measuring digital risks could be developed for application in the industrial environment.  
2. Investigate whether, with the advancement of concepts and the introduction of new concepts of digital transformation and even Industry 5.0, these risks have been expanded and if new risks have emerged. 3. It is also worth noting that from the measurement of these risks, great insights and responses can be obtained. For example, identifying how artificial intelligence can help in the management and mitigation of risks, listing the main challenges currently faced due to the risks caused by Industry 4.0, how the issue of human work is affected by the increasingly latent use of digital technologies, and how legislation will be affected by the necessary adaptations due to ethical and political-legal issues, among others.  
Therefore, the great importance of this study, as well as the need for understanding and analyzing the digital risks arising from the implementation of Industry 4.0, are evident. This study will serve as a theoretical foundation for the development of new methodologies and analysis methods for assessing risks and impacts. It is considered a robust work due to the consistency of the methodological rigor used in the construction of the theoretical model. The study will serve as a starting point for academia and industry to join forces to unravel great mysteries that still pervade the realm of Industry 4.0 and its risks.
