 abstract={The study investigates the integration of Industry 4.0 concepts within Polish family manufacturing enterprises, focusing on the evolving competencies required of Engineer 4.0 and Manager 4.0. Utilizing a survey of 178 family businesses, the research explores correlations between organizational characteristics—such as size, ownership, and technological sophistication—and perceptions of Industry 4.0 competencies. Statistical analyses reveal significant relationships between these characteristics and the evaluation of strategic management, interdisciplinary collaboration, and technical skills. Despite the transformative potential of Industry 4.0 technologies, implementation challenges persist, highlighting the need for tailored competency models to bridge these gaps. The findings offer valuable insights into aligning managerial and engineering expertise with the dynamic demands of modern manufacturing environments.},
