Despite several policies aimed at igniting digital transformation, many regions lag behind. We investigate this discrepancy by postulating that the political consensus on accelerating Industry 4.0 adoption among micro-, small- and mid-sized enterprises (MSMEs) needs to consider the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial and social fabrics. Best practices in policy-making exist, but their deployment requires adaptations. The present paper delves into such adaptations and on the mechanics behind how a ‘model’ is modified locally. We do so by illustrating the results of action research on a regional policy initiative. Our findings point to one important set of factors and mechanisms conducive to the adaptation of a policy model to the peculiarities of a locale via the alignment of different cognitive frames: co-design processes. We elaborate on the role of different actors, the relevance of ‘hybrid’ actors, and the nature of universities as platforms

弥合数字化转型政策中的冲突框架

尽管出台了多项旨在推动数字化转型的政策，但许多地区仍然落后。我们通过假设加速微型、小型和中型企业 (MSME) 采用工业 4.0 的政治共识需要考虑创业和社会结构的异质性来调查这种差异。政策制定方面存在最佳实践，但其部署需要进行调整。本文深入研究了这种适应以及如何在本地修改“模型”背后的机制。我们通过说明区域政策倡议的行动研究结果来做到这一点。我们的研究结果指出了一组重要的因素和机制，有利于通过协调不同的认知框架使政策模型适应当地的特殊性：协同设计过程。我们详细阐述了不同参与者的角色、“混合”参与者的相关性以及大学作为平台的性质
