20.500.12556/RUL-171509 Internationalization via industry 4.0 technologies application areas and future roadmap for international business Industry 4.0 is transforming businesses offering multinational companies a tech nological framework to structure their global operations. This has attracted the attention of internationalization scholars and practitioners on the use of emerging technologies for it. In this paper, we seek to consolidate and synthesize the schol arly evidence published in leading international business journals on this issue. We identified 108 articles published in eight high-quality international business journals on major themes and applications of emerging technologies for internationalization. Our analysis, using the “coupling by document” method, identified the major application areas, including internationalization of research and development (R&D) activities, international ambidexterity, IoT-enabled global value chains, reshoring and location choice, digitized governance, global smart factory, global project man-agement, global human resource management, and international relations and cybersecurity. We end our investigation by suggesting future research avenues. industry 4.0 international business digitization literature review artificial intelligence mednarodno sodelovanje digitalizacija umetna inteligenca pregled literature true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-08-27 13:24:52 2025-08-27 15:15:42 2025-09-04 03:58:56 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 [in press] 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova VTisku NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 339.9 2198-1620 10.1007/s11301-024-00459-4 208792579 s11301-024-00459-4.pdf s11301-024-00459-4.pdf 1 5A84EE955039117AA9DD91B0D13F8AAF c21468c389f934102d59814395cc04e56855d0da8d075533dcc7869029fba7b4 b0117cc2-8347-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=214871 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11301-024-00459-4 0 b440a662-8347-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=214872 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
