“…Although organizational climate and culture, supply chain responsiveness, and human capital are less significant compared to technology and infrastructure-related factors, they are also important for the overall success of IoT adoption, as evidenced from the overall improvement in logistics performance [88] and priorities of the organization for digitalization [89]. The findings from the interviews showed that technology-related enabling factors are more important than organizational-related factors, as evidenced by improved overall sustainability from both economic benefits and environmental conditions perspectives.…”

Several studies have reported on enabling factors of IoT adoption, emphasizing the importance of key factors for successful IoT adoption. However, only a few studies have investigated enabling factors with consideration of a sustainability perspective and no similar study has focused on manufacturing from an emerging economy perspective. The main purpose is to investigate enabling factors of IoT adoption from a sustainability perspective. This study aims to (i) identify and select key enabling factors from a comprehensive literature review, and (ii) prioritize them using a multiple criteria decision-making approach, validated through industry experts’ opinions. The results showed that system integration and IoT infrastructure are the top enabling factors in increasing the overall success of IoT adoption. Furthermore, enabling factors of IoT adoption are directly connected with organizational resources/technological capabilities that support the resource-based view theory. Supply chain managers can use the findings of this study to guide and prioritize IoT adoption, and develop strategies for going forward with IoT settings, using the relative importance of enabling factors and interdependencies among them from the technological and organizational perspectives. To generalize these findings through benchmarking of enabling factors in manufacturing, a broader range of industries within the manufacturing sector should be considered in future studies.

“…Knowing these barriers and their effect is of fundamental importance for companies and managers to drive the digitalization process and successfully implement the selected technologies [11]. Among the others, one of the main aspects managers should focus on is the cultural one, which is deemed one of the most relevant ones to guarantee the success of any firm digital transformation [12]. For instance, an organization that is used to continuously changing and adapting to the external environment and market needs could be one in which the digital transformation will go smoothly [11].…”

Digitalization is underway and is a new way to make companies more competitive. However, it is a tortuous road where failure often arises. Lean Management has been shown to be a significant element in the success of Digitalization, particularly in driving and directing companies on their digital technologies implementation journey. Despite this, there is limited evidence of how Lean Management can facilitate the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. Intending to understand this facilitating role, this paper investigates the relationship between different Lean Practices and the most common Industry 4.0 implementation barriers. Relying on expert opinions, through the use of the Interpretive Ranking Process (IRP) methodology, a specific relationship between Lean Practices and barriers has been depicted, showing that some practices have a major impact in reducing some specific barriers. In particular, the ones related to the Elimination of Waste and Continuous Improvement bundle are expected to be the most prominent. The implications of this study are both practical and theoretical, adding knowledge on how Lean can facilitate firms' digital transformation and setting the base for further research.
