Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current decade is considered one of digitalization, in which nations around the world have formulated digital goals.
In this context, digital governance and digital innovation aim to include digitalization in organizations’ current activities to stimulate the creation of added value, as well as to achieve a sustainable impact. All of this favors managerial creativity in adopting the best business strategies and solutions.
This Special Issue aims to highlight contributions on promoting digital governance and digital innovation. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Innovative solutions that incorporate digitalization into organizational governance processes and ensure sustainable development.
- Developing green software and engineering that contribute to sectoral greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives.
- Green cloud migration that helps organizations make sustainability-based decisions for cloud migration.
- Economic sustainability that defines appropriate cost levels and structures through green software practices; the use of renewable energy, which has the objectives of saving costs and promoting sustainability.
- Delivering on sustainability promises by integrating sustainability into corporate strategies and unlocking shared value for both the organization and society.
- Learning about digital governance and digital innovation at scale and quickly, integrating a sustainability mindset throughout the company.
- Sustainability at the heart of digital innovation brings together the capabilities of the entire organization to develop disruptive innovations at scale that enable the achievement of organizational objectives.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
