In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, business organizations must meet several key requirements to thrive, including digitalization and connectivity to leverage technologies such as IoT and cloud computing (Schwab, 2016). Additionally, automation and robotics are essential to optimize processes and increase productivity through the use of RPA and collaborative robots (Kagermann et al., 2013). Data analytics and artificial intelligence play a crucial role in generating insights and personalizing experiences, while cybersecurity becomes increasingly crucial to protect sensitive data (Chui et al., 2018). Lastly, agility and adaptability are necessary to respond quickly to market and technological changes (Westerman et al., 2011), enabling organizations to remain competitive in this dynamic environment.
