Digitalization is essential for improving business processes in today’s business environment. Around the world, the process of business digitalization is considered one of the biggest challenges for the economies of countries, because such a process costs a lot and weighs heavily on business and state budgets. Enterprises can easily adopt new technologies in production processes and at all economic levels thanks to digital technology, which also enables them to dominate markets. The importance of the research topic and the problems that digital management addresses are determined by the speed with which the information, communication and economic domains are developing. Nowadays, the use of digital tools and platforms allows companies to save costs, create competitive business advantages and, most importantly, respond quickly to changes in internal and external environments. Albanian businesses are also in the situation of many businesses challenged by the demands of using new technologies in the implementation of their business processes, both in terms of production and creation, as well as in terms of supply and sales. The increase in demands on the quality of services and products produced on the one hand, and the increase in demands on the speed of service delivery on the other, are recognized as the main indicators in the beginning of the digitalization of businesses in our country. The digitalization of business operations has an impact on the entire business network, considering that all forms of doing business are dependent on the use of digital technologies.
Therefore, the main purpose of the paper is to examine the digital management system, how it is built and how it serves different enterprises to quickly respond to the market and improve their services. This paper develops and implement a framework to examine how digital systems are managed in contemporary businesses, paying particular attention to how new technologies integrate, operate, and impact resource management and operational effectiveness.

The importance of industry 4.0 is increasing continuously in the apparel sector. The evolution in manufacturing with implementation of the new modes of production nowadays is widely known. The benefits that come from each new development in the digital information technology has to be fasten embraced. The main advantage is the improvements of the supply chain efficiency. The innovation based on the industry 4.0 allow companies to optimize their actual production systems and enhance more efficient processes. Smart manufacturing can help the apparel industry more specifically by making the concept of affordable mass customization in reality. This paper helps us understand how industry 4.0 affects manufacturers in the apparel industry. We are going to illustrate this through a case study in a garment factory. There are several ways of advanced digital technologies that can assure high efficiency in the production. The actual production process is batch flow and the company is implementing a new tool which is RFId (Radio-frequency identification or radiofrequency identification) technology. Connected an RFId Tag to a part of the product to be tracked, each piece can be monitored in real time, having all the location and traceability information and machine data in real time piece by piece. Items and products can be monitored as they move through the factory allowing for quick and automatic identification without errors. This allow to maximize the use of production resources and correctly optimize stocks of raw materials.

In the last ten years, the development and implementation of robotics, sensor and digital technology in the world from introduced us the third industrial revolution to the fourth industrial revolution. In its development strategy, Germany introduces digital technologies in production processes called “Industry 4.0” in 2011. The German example is followed by the following countries: USA, Great Britain, Sweden, Japan and other. Almost all technologically developed countries strive to introduce advanced technologies into production processes in order to maintain their competitive positions in the market. The implementation of the fourth technological revolution depends on a number of new and innovative technological achievements, i.e., the implementation of patents for the basic technologies of Industry 4.0. It is necessary to integrate production processes in all phases of product development, as well as monitoring during its working life through the use of advanced technologies. When automating production processes, we must include intelligent sensors, intelligent robots and connect everything to the Internet using digital technologies that closely monitor the product development process. It is also required to collect large amounts of data through network communication used during the production process. The paper presents a structural network with all levels for the implementation of Industry 4.0 in the production process of the metal industry.

This paper discusses the importance of implementing alternative teaching and learning methods of instruction in the 21st century FL classroom. The focus is on integrating specific digital tools and resources in teaching English by „English through Literature Approach‟. The aim is to foster students‟ skills to interpret texts from British and American literary canon not only through traditional medium of instruction, but also technology-rich instruction regardless of time, place and electronic devices. An attempt will be made to summarise and evaluate the teaching methods, taking into account an online survey conducted with twelfth-grade students after a two-year experiment.
