“…By 1981, IBM's PC became a standard platform and business and government sectors were dominated by PCs (Ensmenger, 2012). Organizations, businesses and individuals increasingly used software solutions for daily operations, word-processing and accounting tasks, with Microsoft becoming the largest PC software company worldwide in the late 1980s (Campbell-Kelly, 2001; Dornberger et al , 2018). The rise of PCs cannot only be viewed as a milestone for better computer access to planners and a new graphical environment for planning but led to a dissemination of flexible spreadsheets and map-based interfaces which enabled huge improvements in L&SC planning and execution technology (Smith, 2003; Tyworth, 1991).…”

PurposeDespite increasing interest in digital services and products, the emergence of digitalization in the logistics and supply chain (L&SC) industry has received little attention, in particular from organizational theorists. In response, taking an institutionalist view, the authors argue that the emergence and adoption of digitalization is a socially constructed phenomenon.Design/methodology/approachThis paper shows how actor-level frameshifts contribute to an emergence of an overarching “digitalization logic” in the L&SC industry at the field level. Building on a longitudinal analysis of field actors' frames and logics, the authors track the development of digitalization over the last 60 years in the L&SC sector.FindingsThe authors classify specific time periods by key field-configuring events, describe the relevant frameshifts in each time period and present a process that explains how and why digitalization has emerged, been adopted and manifested itself in the L&SC industry.Originality/valueThe findings of the study provide insights about the evolution of a digitalization logic and thus advance the institutional view on digitalization in the L&SC industry.

“…In recent years, significant technological developments have triggered an evolution in the digitalization of society and business [32]. This evolution resulted in an effective digital transformation affecting traditional roles and business models [33]. Vial [7] defined digital transformation as "a process that aims to improve an entity by triggering significant changes to its properties through combinations of information, computing, communication, and connectivity technologies" (p. 121).…”

et al. 2022

The rapid ongoing digital transformation creates new opportunities to generate value but also challenges companies in the manufacturing industry to adapt to the recent changes. Moreover, committing to sustainability is essential to maintain competitive advantages, build a more resilient company, and manage increasing societal demands and regulations. Referred to as a “twin transition”, the digital transformation can positively impact firms’ commitments to environmental sustainability. This paper explores challenges that small technology solution providers face on their path toward developing sustainable production solutions for their manufacturing customers. An empirical study was conducted in an industrial cluster of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) providing innovative, tailor-made production technology solutions to manufacturing companies. As a result, a collaborative process model was suggested for such SMEs to overcome internal and external barriers to obtaining sustainability, thus better supporting the manufacturing companies, i.e., their customers, to strive towards more sustainable production.

This study investigates the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) adoption on operational efficiency and competitive advantage within the Information Technology (IT) industry in Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing a cross-sectional survey design to collect primary data from 170 IT companies operating in Indonesia. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) algorithm was utilized to analyze the data and test the research hypotheses. The findings reveal that IoT adoption positively influences both operational efficiency and competitive advantage within the Indonesian IT industry. These results underscore the transformative potential of IoT technologies in enhancing organizational performance and strategic positioning in the digital era. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the benefits of IoT adoption in the context of the Indonesian IT industry, offering insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers seeking to harness the potential of IoT technologies for sustainable growth and innovation.
