“…Additionally, the usefulness of QCA has been acknowledged by some corporate governance studies (for example, Haxhi & Aguilera, 2017). Different corporate governance mechanisms can be discovered for one expected outcome, including sustainable competitive advantage (Cao, Wang, Berkeley & Tjahjono, 2021), R&D investment (Rodrigues, Samagaio, & Felício, 2020), and environmental innovation in the present study.…”

“…Various studies focusing on I4.0 from different angles, from digitalisation to green management, business model transformation, corporate sustainability, sustained competitive advantage and health care (Cao et al , 2021; Shet and Pereira, 2021; Veile et al , 2022), were considered when developing the RQs. The interview consisted of two stages, one where basic demographic aspects (e.g.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) through the lens of the dynamic capabilities framework. Contrary to most existing research, this study chooses a cross-national viewpoint, exploring companies operating in two emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 80 company managers operating in eight industries in Vietnam and Bolivia. The chosen inductive analysis was supported by qualitative content analysis and data structure. Findings The analysis reveals 13 conceptual dimensions. For instance, sensing opportunities underlines tangible and intangible “direct prospects”, such as enhanced accuracy, speed and cost effectiveness, whereas “operational management pressures” (sensing threats) identify the dilemma of changing individuals’ mindset, recruitment and addressing financial needs. While there is an overall agreement in key dimensions, differences between managers from both countries also arise, including staff’s adaptation and constant upskilling. Originality/value Empirically, this study responds to calls for cross-national studies investigating I4.0 initiatives. In doing so, the data gathered from company managers engaged in business in emerging economies afford new perspectives, with practitioner value. Theoretically, the numerous dimensions emerging from the data analysis provide useful conceptual insights to understand managerial aspects in considering and adapting to I4.0 expectations and requirements. These insights are reinforced by the development of a conceptual model that illuminates the initiatives, efforts and challenges of embracing this phenomenon.

“…All these are the examples of intangible resources that might play a vital role in the achievement of competitive advantage. According to Cao et al (2021), when a manufacturing firm possess resources that are rare and valuable, only when an organization develops a competitive advantage because rare resource materials are hard to acquire and nearly impossible to imitate.…”

The aim of this study is to determine whether smart technologies can bring sustainable competitiveness to manufacturing firms and this study attempts to determine it through theoretical linear modelling. This paper reflects on the importance of sustainable competitiveness and means of achieving sustainable competitiveness by highlighting it through analysis of scientific literature review. It explains competitiveness by the means of resources and capabilities, clustering, and public policy. This study also presents an analytical framework that interlinks Quintuple Helix model, Industry 5.0, and sustainable competitive. This study also emphasizes on a management strategy that explains how a manufacturing firm devise a strategy to obtain sustainable competitiveness. A theoretical linear model is developed that identifies digital technologies proven to be the source of manufacturing competitiveness. This work also shed light to the limitations in order to measure or determine competitiveness factor at national, regional, or firm level. For the future researchers, this study provides a baseline to develop a mechanism of measuring competitiveness based on smart technology.
