Digital transformation tools within the scope of the fourth industrial revolution continue to improve with changing needs and are an issue that maintains its importance. The fact that these technologies have an important place in the sustainability of businesses is a primary motivation of this study. Similarly, it is critical for SMEs, which have an important place in the national and global economy, to protect their assets in this process. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five SME managers in Turkey to understand whether SMEs, which are important actors of economic development, see Industry 4.0 technologies as an opportunity for their sustainability. In line with the findings obtained, it has been concluded that SMEs see Industry 4.0 technologies as an opportunity in terms of their sustainability, ability to perform digital transformations in line with their own needs in business functions, and ability to prepare a roadmap for the future. |
