Change management in SMEs in the Era of Industry 4.0

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Today&apos;s environment is characterized by a high dynamic of changes. Businesses must continually implement new changes that the external environment offers. One of these significant changes is the adoption of technologies associated with the concept of Industry 4.0. This situation is particularly important for small and medium-sized enterprises, which are the driving force behind a large part of the world&apos;s economies. Their ability to adopt and implement new technologies may play a crucial role in the future. Businesses can use a wide range of change models for this implementation. Some focus more on methodological support for implementing change, while others concentrate on the individual level and reducing employee resistance. Currently, in the Czech Republic, there is no universal model for implementing changes in small and medium-sized organizations. The aim of this contribution is to perform a cluster analysis, which will then allow for the identification of main parameters for each cluster. Based on these foundations, it will later be possible to construct a model for implementing changes for each cluster separately, according to its key characteristics. Six main clusters were observed, each characterized by certain features. Unfortunately, it is a concerning fact that half of the clusters do not implement change management effectively. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey, and 189 respondents representing small and medium-sized enterprises were obtained. The main emphasis was placed especially on the actual implementation of change management, its barriers, and then on Industry 4.0, awareness of it, the level of its implementation in businesses, and also on the barriers that companies consider significant in this relation.
