Digital Transformation in the V4 Countries: Financial Performance, Strategic Resilience and Industry 4.0

This book explores the interconnection between digitalisation, financial performance, and corporate resilience, focusing on the Visegrád Group (V4) countries of Central Europe: Poland, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia. The central contribution of the book lies in integrating financial diagnostics with digital maturity modelling. Digitally mature enterprises outperform their peers in profitability, adaptability, and long-term stability, making digital transformation not only a technological trend but a structural determinant of strategy, governance, and economic sustainability. This book explores the interconnection between digitalisation, financial performance, and corporate resilience, focusing on the Visegrád Group (V4) countries of Central Europe: Poland, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia. The central contribution of the book lies in integrating financial diagnostics with digital maturity modelling. Existing studies often analyse technology adoption and financial outcomes separately, limiting understanding of their mutual effects. This book bridges that gap by presenting a predictive framework capturing the interplay between technological adoption, financial stability, and organisational competitiveness. The shared history and economic circumstances of the V4 countries make this a valuable regional study, highlighting common trends and distinctive national patterns. It will be of interest to scholars of digital transformation, Central European business, and strategic management.
