Abstract

Studying the geographical factors for Industry 4.0 implementations is a novel research line. Only a few studies tried to define the term Geography 4.0, and we are lack empirical evidence of potential regional differences. Besides, the use of digital technologies is a key element and a triggering factor in the business model innovation nowadays. Therefore, we conducted empirical research among 302 Industry 4.0 aware business to business companies in various regions of four Central Eastern European countries to reveal the associations between the use of digital technologies and geographical factors. We found that business model innovation towards Industry 4.0 triggered by the use of digital technologies is more advanced in central and knowledge-intensive regions in the case of high-value activities, which may cause further divergence and not a convergence of regions.
