About
Jasna Prester is a researcher whose work centers on the intersection of industrial automation, manufacturing performance, and sustainability. Her scholarship investigates how the adoption of industrial robots shapes key organizational outcomes — including labor productivity, export competitiveness, product quality, and environmental impact — within European manufacturing contexts. Prester's research addresses a notable gap in the academic literature, where empirical evidence linking robot usage to these multidimensional outcomes has remained scarce, particularly in developed economies. Her most recognized contributions examine how automation technologies are gradually transforming manufacturing operations, offering nuanced insights into both the opportunities and challenges that robotic integration presents for firms navigating Industry 4.0. By situating industrial robotics within broader conversations about sustainable production and workforce dynamics, Prester bridges operational management with pressing societal concerns around labor displacement and environmental responsibility. Though her citation record is still developing — with her leading work accumulating early citations since its 2024 publication — the timeliness and practical relevance of her research positions it to make a meaningful impact on both academic discourse and managerial decision-making. Students and practitioners interested in smart manufacturing, operations management, or sustainable industrial strategy will find her work a valuable and thought-provoking resource.
