“…Furthermore, Industry 4.0 technologies allow the integration between information and manufacturing systems, which strongly affects decisions regarding allocation and use of production factors inside organizations as well as market relationships among organizations in their supply chains (Taştan & Gönel, 2020;Horváth & Szabó, 2019). Process optimization, waste reduction, better use of production factors, bigger product customization and reduction of production and delivery time are some of the potential benefits of the adoption of technologies (Horváth & Szabó, 2019;Bag et al, 2020;Büchi et al, 2020;Bag et al, 2021).…”

This paper analyzed the level of adoption and compared characteristics of adopters and non-adopters of Industry 4.0 technologies. Primary data for the year 2021 were collected by means of a structured questionnaire applied to 30 small and medium-sized companies of the metallurgical sector, who operate with machining processes, in the state of São Paulo. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical measures and correlation estimates. The technologies adopted by the companies in the sample were: Cloud Computing (10 companies), Horizontal and Vertical Integration Systems (5 companies), Big Data (4 companies) and Industrial Internet of Things (4 companies). The comparative analysis between the characteristics of adopters and non-adopters showed that: (I) adopters have, much more frequently, employees with ICT capabilities and also more frequently hire ICT consulting services; (II) the use of ERP and MRP systems is much higher among companies that adopt Industry 4.0 technologies; (III) adopters participate more frequently in cooperation programs with Universities, Science and Technology Institutes or Research and Technological Development Promotion Agencies; (IV) companies that adopt 4.0 technologies have a greater perception of relative advantage and compatibility of these technologies.

“…We acknowledge that other controls can be incorporated in the regression. Garcia-Carpio (2022), for instance, in estimating the effect of digital adoption on Peruvian firms' TFP, controls for the role of innovation, which is a variable that has consistently shown a positive effect on firms' productivity (Hempell et al (2004), Taştan & Gönel (2020)), as well as for the impact of the firm's mark-up, in order to consider the role of differences in market power and demand characteristics for each firm. This author finds sizable, positive, and statistically significant effects for the innovation variable.…”

We estimate the effects of ICT capital and ICT use on firm output and total factor productivity in Ecuador, using a capital augmented production function. We study heterogeneities across 2 dimensions: (i) economic sectors and (ii) firm characteristics (size, export orientation, age, location, technological intensity, and knowledge intensity). Using a novel and comprehensive data set of 27,489 Ecuadorian formal firms and using 2 identification strategies, we find positive and statistically significant effects of ICT capital and ICT use on output and TFP across economic sectors, controlling for firm characteristics. For robustness, we use four alternative measures of (i) ICT capital intensity and (ii) ICT use by the firm, finding, for the former, interesting industry differences on the effect of ICT capital and, for the latter, a positive effect of digital training on firms TFP.

“…In fact, the decision of enterprises to predominantly invest in international vs. local enterprise software products does not appear to lead to any relevant and significant differences in IT use or economic success of enterprises. Based on the empirical results from other countries to achieve such gains the current quality of the deployment of international enterprise software products would need to be significantly improved by raising the quality and quantity of ICT professionals in local business partners of international enterprise software vendors, as well as in the the top 1000 enterprises themselves (Taştan & Gönel, 2020).…”

Implementation, deployment and maintenance of enterprise software pre-configured products are one of the key challenges managers need to address in order to stay competitive in the never ending search to find better ways of conducting business. In the literature there are discovered two general approaches through which managers can use for a successful implementation, deployment and maintenance of enterprise software products. First approach is based on the internal re-deployment of the managerial practices that are already used to manage other fields in the enterprise. Second – the deployment of “world-wide” industry “best practices” that international vendors of enterprise software and their local representatives sell as part of their pre-configured software products. This paper presents a novel model that enables enterprises to systematically evaluate the fit between their specific organizational characteristics and the organizational characteristics complementary with successful deployment of international pre-configured enterprise software products. The proposed model is tested through a comparison of two groups of enter-prises from the population of 1000 biggest enterprises in Slovenia. The first group mostly invests in local, while the second group mostly invests in international enterprise software products. The paper finds that on average there are significant and relevant differences in 44% of the examined organizational characteristics between the groups of enterprises that mostly invest in international or local enterprise software products. The model serves as a comprehensive organizational risk checklist for enterprises that are about to invest in enterprise software products.
