Abstract

Purpose

This study explores the adoption of Industry 4.0 in developing countries' export industries, focusing on factors influencing this adoption, the moderating role of market pressure and prioritizing key factors for sustainable growth.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the “TOE theory” this study has proposed a research framework to identify the factors influencing the adoption and sustainable implementation of Industry 4.0 in the export industry. This study has collected valid datasets from 387 export-oriented industries and applied SEM-ANN dual-stage hybrid model to capture linear and nonlinear interaction between variables.

Findings

Results revealed that Technical Capabilities, System Flexibility, Software Infrastructure, Human Resource Competency and Market pressure significantly influence the Adoption of Industry 4.0. Higher market pressure as a moderator also improves the Industry 4.0 adoption process. Results also pointed out that system flexibility is a gray area in Industry 4.0 adoption, which can be enhanced in the export industry to maintain a sustainable adoption and implementation of Industry 4.0.

Originality/value

Minute information is available on the factors influencing the adoption of Industry 4.0 in export-oriented industries. This study has empirically explored the role of influential factors in Industry 4.0 and ranked them based on their normalized importance.

确定影响采用工业 4.0 促进可持续发展的因素

目的本研究探讨了发展中国家出口行业采用工业 4.0 的情况，重点关注采用工业 4.0 的影响因素、市场压力的调节作用以及优先考虑可持续增长的关键因素。研究结果表明，技术能力、系统灵活性、软件基础设施、人力资源能力和市场压力显著影响了工业 4.0 的采用。较高的市场压力作为调节因素也会改善工业 4.0 的采用过程。研究结果还指出，系统灵活性是采用工业 4.0 的灰色地带，可在出口行业中加以提高，以保持工业 4.0 的可持续采用和实施。本研究对工业 4.0 的影响因素的作用进行了实证探索，并根据其归一化重要性进行了排序。
