Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A digitalized economy and society is a new reality. It brings with it a need for digital transformation – which entails a profound transformation of business and organizational activities, processes, competencies, and models to fully harness the opportunities of modern information and communication technologies. Digital transformation is not necessarily just about modern information technologies, but also about the related challenges, such as process reengineering, changed roles, responsibilities, and functions. It covers a wide range of changes, from the digitization of information (the analog–digital conversion) to digitalization of industries and organizations (the process), and the digital transformation of societies (the effect) that are collectively accelerating the global and societal transformation process.
Our Special Issue, therefore, reflects that digital transformation is a current challenge for information management.
This Special Issue invites papers covering a wide range of topics, ranging from process transformation to aspects of digitalization for society.
We will accept papers for peer review in the following areas of interest:
- Digital economy and Industry 4.0
- Innovation, new business models, and strategies
- Towards 2030 – digital transformation in crisis management
- Social media, privacy, ethics
- Digital single market innovation
- Smart supply chain
- Cybersecurity and digital identities
- Performance management
- Digital security, safety, and trust of smart systems – for a resilient society
- People and processes in enterprise software development
We accept both research papers and case studies based on robust and strict methodology with a substantial proportion of original (not published elsewhere) content.
