Abstract
This article aims to analyze the doctoral theses that study Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in Brazil and Spain. For this, we performed a content analysis aided by the IRAMUTEQ software and a framing analysis. Three major areas of research were identified: one that studies general management aspects of I4.0, another that deals with implementation issues, and a third one that addresses specific technologies of I4.0. Results can help inform policymakers and decision-makers in government and academia.
