Abstract

This study investigates the digital transformation within companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, aiming to assess the level of digital integration and its impact on business operations across manufacturing, trade, and services sectors. Employing a quantitative analysis of responses from 82 managers or owners, the research focused on attitudes towards digitalization, the adoption of software solutions (ERP, CRM, DMS, WMS, eCommerce), and the impact of digitalization technical aspects. The findings reveal significant disparities in digitalization levels across sectors, reflecting a diverse digital landscape within the Bosnian economy. Despite the initiation of digital transformation efforts, a considerable gap remains between recognizing its importance and its practical implementation. The study underscores the urgent need for continued efforts towards embracing digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency, competitiveness, and adaptability to changing market demands and consumer expectations, highlighting the critical role of digital transformation in securing a competitive edge and ensuring responsiveness to market and consumer dynamics.
