| dc.description.abstract | In an era where change is accelerating like never before, our volatile market has seen over half of Fortune 500 companies face bankruptcy, acquisition, or closure since the turn of the century. This is largely due to challenges of anticipating trends, adapting to change and reimagining the future. Despite efforts to reinvent, many CEOs express doubt about the future, questioning the long-term viability of their businesses. To address this uncertainty, this study explores the direct effects of digital transformation on the profitability and growth among European corporations, using panel data analysis of publicly traded companies in the EU firms. By employing descriptive statistics and correlation analyses, it evaluates the influence of various investment factors on financial performance, highlighting the potential benefits associated with Industry 4.0 technologies, while also addressing risks, such as cyber threats and more competition. The findings offer strategic insights for business leaders, helping better understand how digital changes boost company performance in today’s fastchanging business world. | pt_PT |
