FINDING SPECIFIC GROUPS OF AGRICULTURAL SMES THAT USE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO MANAGE SELECTED PROCESSES

Abstrakt:

The paper presents the relevant results of research that was conducted on a current and symbolic topic that offers new perspectives and opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the context of the 4th industrial revolution – the digital industrial revolution. This paper deals with the issue of the identification of specific groups of agricultural SMEs using digital technologies to manage selected processes. The paper's main aim is to determine if it is possible to divide the agricultural SMEs, which have implemented their processes using information technology into several characteristic groups that significantly differ by the types of processes. The fulfilment of the content of the paper is based on the research of primary data and their analysis in relation to the defined topic of the research. To achieve this goal, the cluster analysis method has been used.
