Zusammenfassung
Die vierte industrielle Revolution bedroht Geschäftsmodelle von KMU. In diesem Beitrag werden wesentliche Treiber der vierten industriellen Revolution identifiziert sowie die strategischen Implikationen auf Unternehmen beschrieben. Daraus werden Herausforderungen im Innovationswettbewerb und Innovationstransfer von mittelständischen Unternehmen im Umfeld einer disruptiven zweiten Welle der Digitalisierung abgeleitet. Auf Basis empirischer Studien zu Ambidexterität und Absorptionsfähigkeit von Unternehmen wird aufgezeigt, welchen Chancen und Risiken gerade KMU bei disruptiven wissensbasierten Innovationen gegenüberstehen. Abschließend werden für KMU mögliche strategische Optionen und Wirkungszusammenhänge für Wissens- und Innovationstransfer vor dem Hintergrund der vierten industriellen Revolution analysiert.
