About

Harmoko Harmoko is a prominent researcher specializing in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and digital technology management, whose work has made meaningful contributions to how organizations evaluate, implement, and optimize automation solutions within Industry 4.0 frameworks. His most influential paper, "Robotic Process Automation: An Overview and Comparison to Other Technology in Industry 4.0" (2020), has garnered 61 citations and remains a foundational reference for understanding RPA as a software-driven office automation tool that mimics human-computer interaction. Building on this foundation, Harmoko has developed holistic assessment methodologies, most notably proposing "The Five Dimensions of Digital Technology Assessment" (20 citations), which moves beyond conventional cost-benefit analyses to capture a fuller picture of technology adoption. His work on cost drivers (17 citations) and process and software selection frameworks (12 citations) provides practitioners with actionable guidance for RPA project planning. More recently, he has explored the human and social dimensions of automation through systematic mapping studies and advanced portfolio and balanced scorecard approaches for SME-focused RPA evaluation. Across his body of work, accumulating over 120 citations, Harmoko bridges academic rigor and industry practice, making his research particularly valuable for students, practitioners, and organizations navigating digital transformation.
