Abstract
Kleine und mittelständische Handwerksbetriebe stehen vor der Herausforderung zu digitalisieren. Da Handwerksbetriebe den Mehrwert von Digitalisierung für ihren Betrieb allerdings oft nicht erkennen, räumen sie dem Thema in der Regel nicht die notwendige Priorität ein. Dabei bietet die Digitalisierung gerade für kleine und mittelständische Handwerksbetriebe enorme Chancen zur Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Außerdem laufen Handwerksbetriebe bei andauernder Digitalisierungsträgheit Gefahr, langfristig aufgrund veralteter Geschäftsmodelle vom Markt verdrängt zu werden. Um den Mehrwert von Digitalisierung aufzuzeigen, analysiert dieser Beitrag diesbezügliche Chancen und Ansatzpunkte entlang der Wertschöpfungskette von Handwerksbetrieben. / Small and medium-sized craft enterprises face the challenge of digitization, but have largely neglected digitizing their business due to not recognizing the potential for added value. However, digitization offers enormous opportunities to improve competitiveness, particularly for small and medium-sized craft enterprises. In addition, craft businesses risk being squeezed out of the market in the long run due to outdated business models if they remain inert to digitization. To underscore the added value of digitization for craft enterprises, this article highlights the opportunities and starting points of digitization along the value chain.
