Future research should explore manufacturing and industrial sectors, where digital adoption dynamics may involve different organizational and technological constraints. Future research should examine how these external factors interact with internal organizational barriers, potentially influencing digital adoption trajectories in unforeseen ways. Finally, the role of external macroeconomic factors in shaping digital adoption remains an underexplored area.

First, although the analysis incorporates institutional, eco- nomic, and human capital determinants, it does not account for cultural and behavioural factors such as risk aversion, institutional trust, privacy concerns, or openness to innovation, which can significantly influence digital adoption (Lin et al. These factors often interact with institutional variables, yet comparable cross-country data are limited.
