Abstract:

With the rapid development of industry 4.0 and the boom of large-scale product customization, the adoption of collaborative robots’ innovation becomes a hot topic in research. Previous studies have mainly focused on individuals, but few on enterprises, and in particular, there has been a lack of empirical research on the enterprise level. Based on the combined model of Technology-Organization-Environment Framework (TOE) and Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DOI), this study investigated 373 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Guangdong Province, China, to explore the determinants of SM

Abstract:

Long-established Schumpeterian theory on innovation assumes that significant innovations are generated by large companies with ample spare resources. The allocation of time and money to speculative endeavours with unclear outcomes has often been regarded as beyond the scope of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As a result, authorities sometimes advise SMEs to concentrate on the adoption of existing innovative products and processes rather than the generation of new creative ideas. Despite this traditional wisdom, some very capable individuals actively choose to participate in the SME
