“…5), for example, identifies eight main technologies: IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Advanced Data Analytics, Augmented Reality, Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing, Cybersecurity, Cloud Technology, and Digital Twin. Wynn [23] suggests a slightly broader spectrum of 13 technologies (Figure 2), but Big Data and analytics are recognised universally as key elements of digitalisation. The rise and deployment of these technologies heralded an era where massive volumes of real-time data, both structured and unstructured, became widely available [24], resulting in rapid change and the evolution of business models, operations, processes, and organisational structures.…”

The company’s strategic procurement function makes a significant contribution to overall corporate success, and yet remains under-researched in terms of digitalisation and digital maturity. This research adopts an inductive case study approach, using qualitative data from in-depth interviews with industry practitioners to develop and apply a digital maturity model for the deployment of strategic procurement analytics. The case study company is a multinational aerospace corporation with almost 150,000 employees worldwide. The research presents a snapshot of the digital maturity of the strategic procurement function of this global aircraft manufacturer and finds that the current exploitation of analytics remains constrained by a range of factors, including the need for close compliance with regulatory norms. Thematic analysis of the interview material provides the basis for the development of the maturity model, which—although geared to a specific industry context—is nevertheless of relevance in other business environments. The research thus contributes to the existing literature in this field, and will also be of interest to procurement professionals. However, the research clearly has its limitations, not least in that it is based on just one industry case, and cross-industry generalisations from the findings must therefore be treated with caution.

“…Thus, the focus of digitalisation is on digital technologies, for which Wynn (2022) outlined "the 13 digital technology wheel diagram" (Figure 10). Additionally, Appendix 10.2 refers to the investment phases along the Gartner Hype Cycle which provides graphical representation of the maturity of digital technologies.…”

Evolving IT Sourcing Strategies in the German Automotive Industry: A Blueprint for Managing Transition

This thesis examines how and why the German automotive industry is changing IT sourcing strategies in response to the implications of digital transformation. Due to megatrends such as decarbonisation and digitalisation, the industry is undergoing its greatest transformation in its existence. The future success of the industry depends heavily on the level of digital innovation, for which IT sourcing is becoming a strategic function to provide critical capabilities and resources. The industry has made a strategic shift and recognised software as a key technology that will dictate long-term success in global markets. Transformation processes have begun to span the areas of digital processes and automation, connected cars, and mobility services to facilitate software-enabled automotive companies. This is leading to new IT sourcing models in a variety of configurations. This research is based on the constructivist perspective, with its associated interpretative research methodology. The thesis centres on a single-case study of the German automotive industry as a whole, where a change in the ratio between insourcing and outsourcing has a significant impact on in-house employment and third-party business operations. The approach is qualitative and started with an online survey for framing areas of discussion for the subsequent 19 semi-structured interviews with IT managers and sourcing experts. The analysis of the findings resulted in 15 emerging themes and the development of a blueprint for the transitioning of IT sourcing management, requiring a redistribution of IT responsibilities between Business and Corporate IT. The blueprint contributes to both theory and practice. The principles for a reallocation of IT sourcing responsibilities and the resultant organisational consequences are set out. The blueprint can be set alongside existing models of sourcing transition, and acts as a guide for practitioners in the automotive sector charged with overseeing change in sourcing management in the digital era.
