- The world has already undergone several huge industrial revolutions. From the 1st one, which introduced the mechanization with the water and steam power engines, to the current ”Industry 4.0”, which introduces processes automation, data exchange, Internet of things and cloud computing. Each of these revolutions have had notable impacts on the way people live and interact with their environment, as well as on business processes,strategies and models. In this thesis, we aim at analyzing the relationships existing between some specific ”explanatory” factors and the IoT implementation capabilities of organizations. As such, we want to identify the economic variables impacting the ability of companies to build reliable competitive advantages out of their IoT solutions.
