The opportunity of the internet in terms of eliminating the distance and the ability to instantly transfer large data influence many areas of life, and deeply affect industrial production and processes. High-tech manufacturing operations feel these changes earlier. It is inevitable for the enterprises operating with traditional technologies to be exposed to this effect in parallel with the change of environmental structure. In this study, the concept of Industry 4.0 is considered as a concept and secondly how human resources managers perceive this process from the viewpoint of human resources management of the four advanced technology companies operating in the Bursa region is investigated. An in-depth interview method was used to gather information in the study. As a result of the research, the expectation is that the Industrial 4.0 transformation of the industry will deeply affect human resources management processes due to its business environment. At each stage, it is foreseen that technology-integrated business processes will cause some of the unskilled employees to lose their jobs, while the higher qualified employees will be needed more, but it will be difficult to find these employees and keep them at work.
