“…As mentioned by Satyro et al (2022), studies on I4.0 need to focus on human capital, as there is no way to obtain significant gains both in the social dimension and in terms of economic growth if there is no involvement of the human factor. When new improvements are introduced into the work scenario, there must be a level of maturity and knowledge about the technical equipment among team members and a culture that promotes innovation and learning on their part (Reis et al, 2021a(Reis et al, , 2021bBenitez et al, 2020). One of the main barriers to the implementation of I4.0 is related to employees who are not willing to change the way it works (Luthra and Mangla, 2018).…”

PurposeThis research aims to evaluate the impact of barriers experienced by Brazilian companies in adopting Industry 4.0 (I4.0).Design/methodology/approachAs a methodological approach, the survey method was used, adopting the use of the questionnaire for data collection. From the feedback of 99 companies (with an index of 80%), quantitative analyzes of the data were carried out with the aid of factor analysis and linear regression to validate the proposed structural model.FindingsThe barriers construct does not impact the I4.0 adoption construct. Directly evaluating the effect of the variables that make up the barriers construct in the I4.0 adoption construct, it was observed that three barriers affect effectively the adoption of I4.0: technological infrastructure; financial constraint and lack of understanding of the benefits of I4.0.Research limitations/implicationsAs a limitation, the research was conducted only in the Brazilian context, requiring the development of future studies in other countries that can strengthen the findings of this research.Practical implicationsIn addition, the results achieved provide relevant insights into public policymakers and business managers, helping them to deeply understand the barriers that impact the adoption of I4.0. This facilitates the propagation of I4.0 concepts in the context of Brazilian companies and in the formulation of public policies adapted to each sector, allowing a more assertive action in the face of the types of barriers experienced by organizations during the adoption of I4.0.Social implicationsThe findings can help practitioners and policymakers to understand in detail this new industrial model and the difficulties that prevent its implementation.Originality/valueFrom an extensive literature review, no studies were identified that statistically validate which barriers effectively affect the adoption of I4.0. This research is a pioneer in proposing a structural model to analyze the barriers experienced by workers during the adoption of I4.0, exploring Brazilian companies, from different economic sectors and sizes. It is noteworthy that the literature still focuses efforts on manufacturing companies.

“…Despite the improvements, it is necessary to emphasize that there is still a total of 3.8 h of nonvalue-added activities in the current bed setup. As such, based on the kaizen principle of continuous improvement (Chiarini, 2013; Reis et al ., 2021a, b, 2022b), this hospital may continue the effort of eliminating no value-added activities in the bed setup.…”

“…2.2 Lean as a sociotechnical system: lean technical practices (LTPs) and lean social practices (LSPs) Lean production emerged in the context of the automobilist industry after World War Two in Japan (Womack et al, 2007) being rooted in the premise of kaizen, which means continuous improvement (Chan and Tay, 2018). The adoption of kaizen involves a set of lean practices which can be combined to solve a problem (Chiarini, 2013;Reis et al, 2021aReis et al, , 2021bReis et al, , 2022b. These lean practices can be divided into two groups: lean technical practices (LTPs) and lean social practices (LSPs) (Hadid et al, 2016;Malik and Abdallah, 2020;Sahoo, 2020).…”

PurposeThis article aims to introduce a guide to improving hospital bed setup by combining lean technical practices (LTPs), such as kaizen and value stream mapping (VSM) and lean social practices (LSPs), such as employee empowerment.Design/methodology/approachAction research approach was employed to analyze the process of reconfiguration of bed setup management in a Brazilian public hospital.FindingsThe study introduces three contributions: (1) presents the use of VSM focused specifically on bed setup, while the current literature presents studies mainly focused on patient flow management, (2) combines the use of LSPs and LTPs in the context of bed management, expanding current studies that are focused either on mathematical models or on social and human aspects of work, (3) introduces a practical guide based on six steps that combine LSPs and LSPs to improve bed setup management.Research limitations/implicationsThe research focused on the analysis of patient beds. Surgical beds, delivery, emergency care and intensive care unit (ICU) were not considered in this study. In addition, the process indicators analyzed after the implementation of the improvements did not contemplate the moment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, this research focused on the implementation of the improvement in the context of only one Brazilian public hospital.Practical implicationsThe combined use of LSPs and LTPs can generate considerable gains in bed setup efficiency and consequently increase the capacity of a hospital to admit new patients, without the ampliation of the physical space and workforce.Social implicationsThe improvement of bed setup has an important social character, whereas it can generate important social benefits such as the improvement of the admission service to patients, reducing the waiting time, reducing hospitalization costs and improving the hospital capacity without additional physical resources. All these results are crucial for populations, their countries and regions.Originality/valueWhile the current literature on bed management is more focused on formal models or pure human and social perspectives, this article brings these two perspectives together in a single, holistic framework. As a result, this article points out that the complex bed management problem can be efficiently solved by combining LSPs and LTPs to present theoretical and practical contributions to the important social problem of hospital bed management.

But for new ventures, high environmental turbulence can easily affect their weak knowledge structure [ 49 ], thereby affecting sustainable development.…”

When high uncertainty becomes the norm in entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial failure often becomes the first natural barrier that new ventures face. In dynamic environment, there is still a lack of clear answers on what strategic orientation new ventures need to adopt to improve organizational learning efficiency and achieve sustainable development. Lean startup theory believes that the entrepreneurial process is also a process where organizational cognition is constantly iterated and updated, which drives entrepreneurs to explore business opportunities through iteration learning and early customer insight. The paper aims to describe and examine the relationship between lean startup strategy, organizational iterative learning, and sustainable development of new ventures. This model is tested on the survey data of R&D departments of 325 technology new ventures in China. The research results show that: lean startup strategy can positively affect sustainable performance of new ventures; organizational iterative learning plays a mediating role in the relationship between lean startup strategy and sustainable development; market dynamics positively moderate the relationship between organizational iterative learning and sustainable development, while technology dynamics negatively moderate this relationship; furthermore, the two also moderate the process of lean startup strategy influencing sustainable development through organizational iterative learning, and that moderated mediating effect is significant. The research results reveal that entrepreneurs should deepen lean startup practices in new business layout, advocate the iteration and output of advanced knowledge, help enterprises establish proprietary knowledge barriers, and achieve sustainable development.
