Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit contributions to this Special Issue of Information, which will examine multiple aspects of the deployment of new technologies in the digital era, particularly in the context of business operations. The digital era has witnessed the increased development and deployment of what may be termed the “new ICTs”, which include artificial intelligence, analytics, the Internet of Things, digital twins, blockchain, and mobile computing. A growing number of studies focus on the implementation of these technologies, encompassing not just technological issues, but also process-improvement aspects and the implications for training and the development of new competencies. This Special Issue welcomes additions to this body of literature, including but not limited to, the following:
- Studies that identify and examine the key issues involved in the successful deployment of these technologies in industry;
- Studies of integration issues and their consequences for corporate data and information reporting;
- Studies that examine the implications of the Internet of Things and data analytics initiatives, including discussions of combinations of cloud and edge computing and their trade-offs;
- Studies that investigate recent case examples of the implementation of these technologies and provide guidance for practitioners and professionals;
- Studies that research and assess the cybersecurity aspects of digitalisation in the corporate environment.
The role of application programme interfaces (APIs) and other technologies in resolving connectivity issues is also a relevant research topic. Studies that examine the implications of these developments for ongoing IT strategies are also welcome, as are perspectives that link current practices to relevant theory.
