Abstract

Reports on digital maturity in Spain show a delay in technological adoption, which has a negative impact on territorial development. The objective of the research is to carry out a diagnosis of the Local Development Agencies (ADL) of the Province of Alicante about their adaptation needs to the 4.0 revolution, from a technological surveillance and relational innovation approach, aimed at offering a guide to reduce gaps and promote the improvement of these practices. Thus favoring strategic decision-making and building relationships of trust with local companies, to which this knowledge can be transferred and supported in improving their technological maturity as a source of sustainable competitive advantages. The methodology of the study is quantitative primary cross-sectional, by means of a census, whose instrument has been an ad-hoc questionnaire, previously subjected to validation through expert judgment, with an online self-administered application and processed through the Qualtrics survey management and processing software. The results show that adaptation 4.0 is not optimal in ADLs, identifying specific needs for them. As a relevant conclusion, it stands out how the ADLs use some Public Relations techniques using technology, in terms of e-administration, and in information systems of a 2.0 nature. However, a level of relational innovation 4.0 has not yet been reached, this being an opportunity for future research in this line.
