How far has the German economy progressed in terms of digitalization? The industry association Bitkom investigated this question in a study, which Michael Kroker, among others, reported on at wiwo.de. According to the study, 89 percent of the 604 participating companies see digitalization primarily as an opportunity, and 78 percent state that they now have a digital strategy. Nevertheless, over half of the companies consider themselves laggards when it comes to digitalization. The smaller the company, the higher the proportion of laggards. Only among companies with more than 2,000 employees are the majority pioneers.
