Abstract
La tecnología de Internet de las cosas (IoT, por sus siglas en inglés) puede aportar a las empresas del
sector hotelero grandes beneficios, ya que les permite ahorrar tiempo y dinero haciendo que su negocio
sea más rentable, así como también les puede ayudar a obtener información acerca de sus clientes actuales
y potenciales, pudiendo de esta manera enfocar el negocio hacia la satisfacción del cliente.
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer cuáles son los factores que tienen una mayor repercusión
sobre las empresas del sector hotelero a la hora de adoptar IoT en sus establecimientos. Para alcanzar este
objetivo, se ha utilizado el método Delphi, con el que se ha extraído esos factores que influyen en los
hoteles a la hora de implantar la tecnología IoT, y por otro lado, los mapas cognitivos difusos, para
establecer las posibles relaciones y el grado de influencia entre dichos factores, y determinar los factores
más influyentes.
Los resultados del estudio indican que existen unos factores como la confiabilidad percibida de la
tecnología, la ventaja relativa o el soporte de alta gerencia, que son críticos a la hora de decidir sobre la
adopción de Iot, pues sirven para predecir la adopción de esta tecnología, mientras que otros como la
complejidad, el tamaño de la empresa o el coste percibido, no ejercen tanta influencia sobre la intención
de la adopción.
Internet of Things (IoT) technology can bring great benefits to companies in the hotel sector, saving time and money by making their business more profitable, as well as helping them to obtain information about of their current and potential clients, thus being able to focus the business towards customer satisfaction. The present work aims to know which are the factors that have a greater impact on companies in the hotel sector when adopting IoT in their establishments. To achieve this objective, the Delphi method has been used, with which those factors that influence hotels when implementing IoT technology have been extracted, and on the other hand, fuzzy cognitive maps, to establish the possible relationships and the degree of influence between these factors, and determine the most influential factors. The results of the study indicate that there are factors such as the perceived reliability of the technology, the relative advantage or the support of senior management, which are critical when deciding on the adoption of Iot, since they serve to predict the adoption of this technology, while others such as complexity, company size or perceived cost, do not exert as much influence on the intention of adoption.
