“Taken together, these perspectives highlight that digital transformation is non-linear: it does not follow a single staircase of adoption but comprises multiple, territorially rooted pathways shaped by firm capabilities and regional systems.”

“Modernization, they argue, is structurally conditioned by combinations of structural opportunities-such as innovation potential, institutional structures and strategic capabilities-that vary geographically.”

“This theoretical expectationthat SMEs' digitalization unfolds through distinct profiles rather than uniform stagesinforms the empirical strategy adopted here.”

“The differentiated modernization concept by Heidenreich and colleagues [15,16] builds on this perspective by arguing that technological change and digitalization are inherent in region-specific modernization regimes.”

“The inclusion of this variable allows the model to examine whether SMEs with a production orientation are more likely to embark on niche or specialized forms of digital take-up (e.g., Class 4), depicting sector-led trajectories of modernization [15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
