Dr. Shahper Vodanovich is a leading researcher in the digital transformation of manufacturing, with a sharp focus on the human and organizational challenges of Industry 4.0. Her seminal work, "IT on the Shop Floor - Challenges of the Digitalization of Manufacturing Companies" (2017, 26 citations), presented at the prestigious Bled eConference—the oldest and most renowned conference in the field—offers a critical lens on how digital technologies reshape shop-floor operations. Rather than focusing solely on technical implementation, Dr. Vodanovich’s research illuminates the socio-technical frictions that arise when IT meets traditional manufacturing environments, including workforce resistance, skill gaps, and the need for new management strategies. Her contributions are vital for practitioners and scholars alike, providing a framework to navigate the complex interplay between people, processes, and digital tools. By highlighting these often-overlooked challenges, she has helped steer the conversation toward more sustainable and human-centric digitalization. Her work continues to influence both academic research and industry practice, making her a key voice in understanding the real-world impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
