Her research centers on the intersection of Industry 4.0 adoption, open innovation, and technological capability development. In her most cited work, "Developing technological capabilities for Industry 4.0 adoption," Lepore demonstrates how SMEs can leverage inbound open innovation—tapping into external networks and knowledge—to acquire the competencies needed for advanced manufacturing technologies. This paper, garnering 55 citations, provides a crucial framework for understanding how resource-constrained firms can remain competitive in an era of rapid technological change. By bridging the gap between open innovation theory and practical Industry 4.0 implementation, Lepore’s work offers actionable insights for managers and policymakers alike.
