Abstract

To the extent that the company is an “open system”, it must be in a continuous standby state. In this research work, we will try to focus on the contribution of economic intelligence strategies to the performance of the company. We will begin with a literature review to better understand the theoretical concepts. Then we will conduct a field study of 92 Tunisian industrial companies. Our work has revealed that economic intelligence has a positive but differential effect on the firm’s performance. But some determinants of performance do not seem to take full advantage of the strategies of economic intelligence to which companies should attach greater importance.

Abstract

The objective of this article is to identify the challenges of Tunisian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the implementation of Industry 4.0. Indeed, the Subject of Digital Transformation has its relevance as Industry 4.0 is considered as the first industrial revolution to be predicted before it happened. Competition from digital companies is disrupting business models, and leaders no longer have a choice: the time has come for digital transformation (Dussart, C, 2015). This transition is not new. It covers a necessary reality, especially for so-called traditional companies, which were not born in digital culture. Built on an old model, they must initiate and succeed in their transformation to remain competitive. This paper aims to analyze the opportunities brought by digital transformation for Tunisian companies. In our research and on the methodological section, we used an exploratory qualitative approach with Tunisian companies, using a questionnaire. The results of this investigation have shown that the great opportunities and challenges facing Tunisian companies are human capital in the first place, funding and above all methodological support. And the government must be the first to assist and support the digitization process.

Abstract

The strategy of improving service quality through the digitalization of services is a strategy that a company uses to develop digital-based services to answer consumers' increasingly digital needs. Likewise, the banking business continues to innovate to improve the quality of its services. The digitization of banking services is one strategy that can answer problems that occur in terms of improving the quality of banking services. PT. Bank Negara Indonesia Central Jakarta has implemented digitalization of services for the last 3 (three) years. It can be seen from the annual report and internal interviews that Bank Negara Indonesia has achieved good performance targets. However, several obstacles are faced in implementing the digitalization strategy for services such as legacy IT systems. This work culture is not yet digital and poor coordination between BNI's internal divisions. Some of these things need to be considered more seriously to achieve PT. Bank Negara Indonesia's vision and mission.
