Abstract

Organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to create value in the current dynamic, globalised, interconnected, and ever more complex business and technology environments. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR) is set to increase these challenges as a result of the increasing complexity and dynamic changes in market, societal, and technological trends. While current technological trends potentially offer great value to organisations, emerging technological implementations and transformations often fail to realise the desired value-creation outcomes. Following an exploratory study with qualitative interviews, it was determined that most of these challenges to technology-enabled value-creation initiatives, in the current FIR related environment, can be linked to a dynamic capabilities perspective of strategic management. This perspective encompasses the enabling capabilities and strategic alignment between the external environment, an organisation’s strategies, its strategy execution, and its capability creation, adaptation, and management.

组织在第四次工业革命中创造技术价值所面临的主要挑战:南非的动态能力视角

组织发现，在当前充满活力、全球化、相互关联、越来越复杂的商业和技术环境中，创造价值越来越困难。由于市场、社会和技术趋势的复杂性和动态变化，第四次工业革命（FIR）将增加这些挑战。虽然当前的技术趋势可能为组织提供巨大价值，但新兴的技术实施和转型往往无法实现所需的价值创造结果。经过一项定性访谈的探索性研究，确定在当前FIR相关环境下，技术驱动的价值创造举措面临的大多数挑战都可以与战略管理的动态能力视角联系起来。这一观点包括外部环境、组织战略、战略执行以及能力创造、适应和管理之间的赋能能力和战略一致性。
