Abstract
This study aims to understand how Brazilian manufacturers’ managers perceive the benefits and barriers to adopting I4.0. The study collected data from 194 managers who implemented I4.0 solutions developed by technology suppliers supported by Finep Inovacred 4.0. Our results show that large and high-technology-intensity manufacturers considered managerial benefits more critical, while small-medium sized and medium-low technology-intensity manufacturers evaluate operational benefits as the most important. Data security and employee skills were evaluated as the main barriers by large and international manufacturers’ managers while high investments and government regulations were figured as the main barriers by small-medium sized and high-tech manufacturers’ managers.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
