N2 - Industry 4.0 technologies are increasingly used by corporations worldwide, but their successful adoption remains problematic. In particular, the manufacturing and logistics industries in China have achieved more promising outputs, supported by the adoption of emerging technologies in their supply chains. It is important to research whether environmental context provides a conducive atmosphere for the corporate adoption of these technologies. The study employs structural equation modelling (SEM) with data collected through 1,441 questionnaires from the manufacturing and related industries across mainland China. This paper focuses on and discusses how environmental context affects technology adoption (TA) and post-performance based on the technology-organisation-environment (TOE) framework. The study finds that in China, the regulatory environment (RE) does not directly affect technology adoption and performance (TAP); rather, the business innovation environment (BIE), greatly affected by the RE, influences TAP. This study enriches the content on environmental context, examines the robustness and generalizability of the results.
