Of the 24 articles selected, 10 were the target of this study. The results showed that knowing the concepts of the 4th Industrial Revolution allows higher education institutions to improve their strategies and process capacity, creating differentiated models and increasing efficiency in the management and sharing of knowledge. We conclude that the technological drivers of the fourth industrial revolution are essential knowledge for higher education, ensuring an individual bound the necessary changes in this new era.
