Italy - Abstract
- W niniejszym artykule zbadano wpływ różnych rodzajów zarządzania w firmach rodzinnych na innowacje cyfrowe związane z inwestycjami w Przemysł 4.0 z perspektywy geograficznej. Zestaw danych obejmuje 3000 włoskich małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych. Wykorzystując modele probitowe, wyniki pokazują, że podczas gdy w bardziej zaawansowanym obszarze (centrum-północ) zarządzanie zewnętrzne wpływa znacząco na skłonność do innowacji, w mniej rozwiniętym obszarze (południowe Włochy), zarządzanie zewnętrzne wymaga dodatkowych inwestycji w badania i rozwój w celu wprowadzenia innowacji. Sugeruje to, że polityka innowacyjna powinna określać zachęty, które również pomagają ulepszać nowe modele biznesowe zarządzania i uwzględniać cechy behawioralne różnych firm w odniesieniu do poziomu rozwoju obszarów geograficznych, w których działają. (abstrakt oryginalny)
This paper tests the impact of different types of management within family businesses on digital innovation related to Industry 4.0 investments, from a geographical perspective. The data set consists of 3,000 Italian manufacturing small- and medium-sized enterprises. Using probit models, the results show that while in the more advanced area (center-north) external management affects the propensity for innovation significantly, in the less developed area (Southern Italy) external management requires an additional and simultaneous investment in R&D to drive a firm's innovation. This suggests that innovation policy should define incentives that also help enhance new management business models and take into account behavioral features of different firms in relation to the level of the development of the geographical areas in which they operate.
