Fortune favors the prepared: How SMEs approach business model innovations in Industry 4.0
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how Industry 4.0 triggers changes in the business models of manufacturing SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), by conducting a qualitative research with a sample of 68 German SMEs from three industries (automotive suppliers, mechanical and plant engineering, as well as electrical engineering and ICT).
Journal ArticleDOI
The industrial management of SMEs in the era of Industry 4.0
TL;DR: The results show that SMEs do not exploit all the resources for implementing Industry 4.0 and often limit themselves to the adoption of Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things and there is still absence of real applications in the field of production planning.
