Nove tehnologije industrije 4.0 v majhnih in srednjih podjetjih v Sloveniji

Abstract

The Slovenian economy is strongly integrated into international value chains. As technological development is important for maintaining competitiveness and position on international markets, many companies are actively using new technologies in the field of Industry 4.0, with large companies leading the way and small and medium-sized companies lagging behind in the adoption of new technologies. The article analyses the situation in the field of new technologies adoption in small and medium enterprises in Slovenia and tries to shed light on the reasons for lagging behind. The analysis is the result of the research project "Industry 4.0: Introduction of the concept in Slovenian companies and impact on the broader socio-economic development of Slovenia" under the auspices of the School of Economics and Business.
