Lire la suite >The advent of advanced digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), image processing, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, robotics and cognitive computing that have been embedded in Industry 5.0, is considerably improving the sustainability, resilience, and human-centric performance of industrial organizations. Despite the increasing use of Industry 5.0 technologies in smart product platforming in industrial organizations, a critical issue remains how to assess the providers/suppliers of such technologies in highly competitive markets to fulfil personalized products and services. Following Lancaster's characteristics approach to consumer theory, in this study we contribute to assess digital technologies service providers in the Industry 5.0 era by focusing on both theoretical and empirical evidence inquiring about the convexity of conventional nonparametric frontier estimation methods. To do so, a nonparametric double frontier estimation of the hedonic price characteristics relation is developed from both the buyer's and seller's perspectives. Moreover, a separable directional distance function-based optimization model is developed for the efficiency estimation. Furthermore, a comparable estimation of the convex and nonconvex hedonic price function is proposed. We also explicitly test the impact of convexity in evaluating the efficiency of IoT service providers in the Industry 5.0 context. In this study, we also show that the hypothesis of convexity in assessing the efficiency of IoT service providers is rejected using the Li-test comparing entire densities in the case of the seller's perspective without ratio data. Differences are less pronounced for the buyer's perspective and in the case with ratio data.Lire moins >
