In this review the incorporation of automation robotics artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) into production systems is examined. Significant advantages of these innovations include lower costs higher-quality products quicker production cycles&nbsp;and&nbsp;increased flexibility. Nevertheless, there are some difficulties in implementing these technologies. Among the challenges businesses encounter when incorporating new technologies into production processes are high initial investment costs technical complexity resistance to change skill gaps cybersecurity risks and regulatory issues. In order to ensure a smooth transition to a more technologically advanced production environment this paper analyzes these difficulties and talks about strategic solutions. Organizations can fully utilize technological integration while cultivating an innovative and adaptable culture by attending to fiscal technical and human resource considerations. In the end maintaining long-term success and sustainable growth in a globally integrated market requires striking a balance between these factors.</h3> <h3>Keywords:&nbsp;Technological Advancements, Automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Production Systems, Integration Challenges, Cybersecurity, Workforce Adaptation, Innovation Management, Strategic Planning.</h3> Dr. Misbah Nosheen Sania Irfan Nadia Ameer Copyright (c) 2025 Journal for Current Sign 2025-01-12 2025-01-12 3 1 1 17 TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES: KEY DRIVERS OF PORTFOLIO SUCCESS IN SMES https://currentsignjournal.com/index.php/JCS/article/view/66 <table> <tbody> <tr> <td width="406"> <p>Asim Nawaz Awan</p> <p>Ph.D. &nbsp;Management Sciences Scholar Qurtuba University D.I.

Building on the survey data, this study sought to respond to the important question of what matters for portfolio success and subsequently offer recommendations for improving organizational performance in portfolio management. Data were collected by using a simple random sampling technique. Results find that there is a significant positive relationship between dynamic capabilities and success in the portfolio, reflecting the organizational capability of being very adaptive and innovative. At the same time, transformational leadership has emerged as a powerful catalyst for portfolio success, focusing on the visionary role of the leader in fostering innovation and strategic alignment. In such a way, the present study fills these gaps and further empowers the knowledge within the field towards the development of evidence-based practices and strategies that will optimize the management of the SME project portfolio.</h3> <p>Keywords:&nbsp;Transformational Leadership, Dynamic Capabilities, Portfolio Success.</p> Asim Nawaz Awan Dr. Kashif Saleem Copyright (c) 2025 Journal for Current Sign 2025-01-20 2025-01-20 3 1 18 42
