“…Moreover, explorative empirical research on RPA implementation emerged, addressing for instance the importance of continuous BPMJ 30,8 improvement after RPA deployment in high-variability logistics' business settings (Krakau et al, 2021) and the value of RPA for lean management based process waste elimination (Gradim and Teixeira, 2022;Martins et al, 2023). More systematic enquiries into RPA implementation research to date revealed an absence of industry specific guidance or implementation models, and a general absence of practical validation of the procedural models that have been presented to date (da Silva Costa et al, 2022;Krakau et al, 2021). Therefore, the various academic calls for empirical research on RPA implementation, covering among others implementation barriers, performance measurement and improvement (Da Silva Costa et al, 2022;Yl€ a-Kujala et al, 2023), and socio-technical implications (Danilova, 2019;Hartley and Sawaya, 2019;Syed et al, 2020), provide the rationale for this case study.…”
