Sustainable Digital Transformation: Integrating Economic, Technological, and Societal Perspectives

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digital transformation is now a major force for change, affecting modern economic systems, organizational structures, technological progress, and societal structures. At the same time, sustainability has become increasingly important across many areas, requiring integrated approaches that consider economic viability, technological innovation, social well-being, and long-term resilience. This topic aims to provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary platform for research on sustainable digital transformation, exploring economic, technological, and societal perspectives.

This topic spans a wide range of economic fields, including economics, management, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, and international business. It specifically examines how digital technologies affect decision-making, organizational effectiveness, financial systems, market behavior, and global economic relations. This topic also covers engineering and applied sciences, including electronics, systems science, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, digital agriculture, and related fields.

Recognizing that digital transformation extends beyond technical and economic aspects, this topic also invites research from the social sciences and humanities. Contributions from disciplines such as law, education, sports sciences, communication, linguistics, and cultural studies are encouraged to explore regulatory frameworks, ethical issues, human capital growth, changes in learning and skills, social inclusion, cultural shifts, and the societal impacts of digitalization.
