Abstract: The intensive development of technologies in the last decade has faced Industrial Enterprises (IEs) with serious challenges related to their effective digital transformation and overall adaptation to the new market environment to continue to operate successfully in the conditions of strong global competition. In practice, the transformation of the socio-technical system/IE work is inevitable. It is the main driving force for achieving competitive advantage at present, as well as a leading prerequisite for sustainable business development. An important aspect of building a strategy for the organization and management of transformational processes is the study of their impact on the characteristics of the socio-technical system and the possibilities for its sustainable management and development in the context of the new technological reality. This is because the transformation of the work of the socio-technical system must be carried out so that it does not break the synchrony of functioning between its constituent components - “Human (Man)-Machine-Working Environment”. This required to study and define new standards for their effective interaction thoroughly. This publication analyzes the key aspects that characterize and define the parameters and effectiveness of “Man-Machine” collaboration in modern digital reality. The focus of attention turns to the evolution of this cooperation through the four industrial revolutions. The main characteristics and challenges in implementing “Man-Machine” cooperation are summarized and its importance for business development is discussed in the context of the concept of sustainability in its various manifestations. In this respect, this publication aims to systematize the main areas of knowledge related to “Man-Machine” interaction, which will serve as the basis of a conceptual framework for its sustainable management in the context of the growing autonomy of the socio-technical system.
