Abstract

The purpose of this study has been to determine which technological, organizational, and environmental factors affect the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the furniture sector companies. The furniture sector is an industry characterized by its dynamism and the high intensity of its labour force. Despite the sector's importance, it remains a very traditional industry, with only a minority of companies having adopted Industry 4.0. In this context, this study was conducted to investigate, through a qualitative analysis using nine in-depth interviews with industry experts, which factors most affect the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the furniture sector. The results indicate that organizational factors have the most influence on the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. However, not all factors affect it in the same way: some facilitate technological adoption, while others inhibit it.
