Summary: This study examines the relationship between strategic orientations (market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation), organizational ambidexterity, and sustained competitive advantage mediated by Industry 4.0 readiness. Through analysis of data from 144 SMEs in different economic sectors, the researchers employed partial least squares-structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses. The empirical research suggests that market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation have a positive relationship with Industry 4.0 readiness and sustainable competitive advantage. Additionally, the study finds that entrepreneurial orientation has a stronger impact on SCA than market orientation in emerging markets. Furthermore, Industry 4.0 readiness acts as a complete mediator between strategic orientations and sustainable competitive advantage.
