Resumen

El impacto de las tecnologías de la información (TI) en las organizaciones ha atraído la atención de profesionales y académicos en los últimos años. Este artículo analiza la relación entre el uso de TI y las tecnologías de la Industria 4.0 con la internacionalización y el rendimiento empresarial. A través de un estudio de 168 empresas en la ciudad de Bogotá, se realizaron diferentes análisis de regresión de acuerdo con el modelo de investigación propuesto para estimar los efectos de las variables determinadas. Se evidencia que las empresas con mayor uso de TI presentan un mayor grado de actividad internacional. Asimismo, el estudio estableció un modelo que demuestra la relación directa entre el uso de TI y las tecnologías de la industria 4.0 con el rendimiento empresarial. Para el análisis estadístico se ha utilizado el software R studio.
