This paper aims at investigating the diffusion, application, constraints and performance of the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the Italian automotive supply chains. The worldwide positioning of Stellantis is likely to move the Italian automotive industry from a core automotive country like the US, Germany, or Japan to a semi-peripheral automotive coun-try like UK, Canada or Sweden focused mainly on the supply chain. The Italian automotive sup-ply chain is one of the most relevant in Europe with more than 2,000 firms and cover all prod-uct specialization. In the digitalization transition era, industry 4.0 holds potential to reshape and reenforce exist-ing regional supply chains. Literature presumes better performance for whom invested in In-dustry 4.0, however our findings did not match expectations with some intriguing exceptions.

Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the diffusion, application, constraints and performance of the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the Italian automotive supply chains. The worldwide positioning of Stellantis is likely to move the Italian automotive industry from a core automotive country like the US, Germany, or Japan to a semi-peripheral automotive coun-try like UK, Canada or Sweden focused mainly on the supply chain. The Italian automotive sup-ply chain is one of the most relevant in Europe with more than 2,000 firms and cover all prod-uct specialization. In the digitalization transition era, industry 4.0 holds potential to reshape and reenforce exist-ing regional supply chains. Literature presumes better performance for whom invested in In-dustry 4.0, however our findings did not match expectations with some intriguing exceptions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
