# The New Era of Business Digitization through the Implementation of 5G Technology in Romania
## 5 Conclusions  
The development of 5G technology brings significant progress not only in personal life, but also in various business sectors, especially for economic entities active in the field of services. The new era of 5G technology will lead to the development of modern applications for Internet of Things, to new consumer gadgets, and cumulative multiple economic and social benefits for users, because it promises unlimited access to the Internet, in a much faster and more secure manner, with much lower latency, much higher data transfer rate than at present, and more support for Internet of Things [89; 90]. Through the statistical analysis started among the 326 economic entities in Romania that responded to the questionnaire, we identified relevant opinions regarding the impact that the use of 5G technology can have on the entity to which they belong. It has been

Table 12: Frequency of observed responses regarding the benefits of 5G technology. observed that the majority considers the implementation of 5G technology absolutely necessary, especially for the efficient evolution and development of economic activity, and over 69% of these entities agree with the implementation of new technologies as soon as possible or at most in a period of up to 5 years. Competition, low productivity, and even external pressures are the main factors with a decisive role in the implementation of 5G. The determined correlations and contingency tables had as the main result the validation of the research hypotheses (H1-H3) but also the achievement of the initial purpose of the study. Thus, it has been observed that the analyzed economic entities were interested and available to implement 5G technology, but under certain conditions related to the costs that this activity entails and the competitive advantages they offer (such as increased productivity, efficiency, and cybersecurity). Furthermore, the economic and social benefits that innovations in 5G technology have on the Romanian business environment are decisive factors for the use of 5G technology by questioned economic entities. Based on the results obtained, it can be considered useful to extend the research by identifying viable solutions or alternatives, customized for the implementation of 5G technologies at the level of the economic entities from different sectors of activity, as well as the analysis of the implementation costs and the potential economic benefits. In terms of practical and managerial implications, the study highlights that managers and practitioners should consider adopting AI-related technologies to improve their operations, regardless of the segment of the organization.
