Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a model that links the motives, obstacles and expected outcomes of Industry 4.0 implementation. First, it aimed to determine the extent of use of Industry 4.0 technologies and then to investigate the motives, expected outcomes (short and long-term), and the relationship between them. Obstacles to the implementation of new technologies in Croatian companies were identified. The sample comprised 91 companies that had implemented new technologies by 2020. Data were collected using on-line surveying tools. The results show that the surveyed companies are considering new technologies for several proactive reasons, and primarily stress the expected long- -term strategic benefits over short-term efficiency. The lack of human resources is the most critical obstacle in the implementation of new technologies. The paper provides several managerial implications.

Secondary title: Implementacija tehnologija Industrije 4.0 u Hrvatskoj
Secondary abstract: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je razviti model koji povezuje motive, zapreke i očekivane ishode od implementacije tehnologija Industrije 4.0. Prvo, cilj je bio utvrditi opseg upotrebe tehnologija Industrije 4.0, a zatim istražiti motive, očekivane ishode (kratkoročne i dugoročne) i njihov odnos. Identificirane su zapreke za implementaciju novih tehnologija u hrvatskim kompanijama. Uzorak je obuhvaćao 91 kompaniju koje su do 2020. godine primijenile nove tehnologije. Podaci su prikupljeni alatima za provođenje anketa na daljinu. Rezultati pokazuju da anketirane kompanije razmatraju nove tehnologije iz nekoliko proaktivnih razloga, ali prije svega naglašavaju očekivane dugoročne strateške koristi nad kratkoročnom učinkovitošću. Manjak ljudskih resursa najvažnija je zapreka u primjeni novih tehnologija. Rad pruža nekoliko preporuka za menadžere.
