Emerging technologies in the industrial sector
An analysis based on business perceptions
Keywords:
competitiveness, technological management, perspectivesAbstract
Innovation has become key to business competitiveness and industrial sustainability. This study analyzes the level of awareness and perceived importance of eight key technologies in the industrial sector of La Pampa, Argentina: artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, automation and robotics, sustainable energy, management information systems, and virtual/augmented reality. The results reveal that management information systems and sustainable energy are the technologies with the highest level of awareness and implementation. At the same time, artificial intelligence, big data, and virtual/augmented reality have the lowest rates. Factors such as company size, staff training, and available infrastructure influence technological adoption. This study provides relevant empirical information for decision-making, both in the business sphere and in the design of public policies aimed at industrial modernization, highlighting the need for digital training and financing strategies.
