AbstractDigitization is developing fast and has become a powerful tool for digital planning, construction and operations, for instance digital twins. Now is the right time for constructive approaches and to apply ethics-by-design in order to develop and implement a safe and efficient artificial intelligence (AI) application. So far, no study has addressed the key research question: Where can corporate digital responsibility (CDR) be allocated, and how shall an adequate ethical framework be designed to support digital innovations in order to make full use of the potentials of digitization and AI? Therefore, the research on how best practices meet their corporate responsibility in the digital transformation process and the requirements of the EU for trustworthy AI and its human-friendly use is essential. Its transformation bears a high potential for companies, is critical for success and thus, requires responsible handling. This study generates data by conducting case studies and interviewing experts as part of the qualitative method to win profound insights into applied practice. It provides an assessment of demands stated in the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations (SDGs), White Papers on AI by international institutions, European Commission and German Government requesting the consideration and protection of values and fundamental rights, the careful demarcation between machine (artificial) and human intelligence and the careful use of such technologies. The study discusses digitization and the impacts of AI in construction engineering from an ethical perspective. This research critically evaluates opportunities and risks concerning CDR in construction industry. To the author’s knowledge, no study has set out to investigate how CDR in construction could be conceptualized, especially in relation to digitization and AI, to mitigate digital transformation both in large, medium- and small-sized companies. This study applies a holistic, interdisciplinary, inclusive approach to provide guidelines for orientation and examine benefits as well as risks of AI. Furthermore, the goal is to define ethical principles which are key for success, resource-cost-time efficiency and sustainability using digital technologies and AI in construction engineering to enhance digital transformation. This study concludes that innovative corporate organizations starting new business models are more likely to succeed than those dominated by a more conservative, traditional attitude.

Upacara Belian merupakan ritual pengobatan, membayar hutang, dan pembersihan kampung yang terdapat di Kabupaten Paser. Upacara Belian ini dilatar belakangi oleh sistem kepercayaan terhadap kekuatan-kekuatan gaib. Inti upacara Belian berupa gerak-gerak dan mantra-mantar. Gerak yang dihadiran pada upacara Belian ini menimbulkan inspirasi bagi seorang seniman bernama Irusmiati untuk mentransformasikan upacara Belian menjadi tari Gitang Paser.Gerak dalam tari Gitang ini terinspirasi dari dua motif gerak yang dilakukan oleh Mulung yaitu perambut (gerak lambat), kerkesek (gerak cepat) serta bunyi gitang. Kedua unsur ini dikembangkan dalam irama, ritme dan penggunaan tenaga sehingga menjadikannya lebih dinamisUntuk mengtahui aspek apa saja yang bertransformasi pada upacara Belian ke dalam tari Gitang Paser maka peneliti menggunakan konsep yang dikemukaka n oleh Djoharnurani yang mengemukakan bahwa proses transfomasi dapat dilalui dalam tiga tahap yaitu; 1) tahap pemahaman dan penghayatan makna; 2) tahap resepsi; dan 3) tahap tindak resepsi. Pada butir pertama adalah pemahaman dan penghayatan makna terhadap nilai-nilai yang ditransformasikan. Butir kedua adalah resepsi yang berarti penerimaan memang salah satu aspek yang ada dalam proses transformasi. Kemudian pada aspek tindak resepsilah transformasi membawa rangsangan idesional atau gagasan untuk membuat suatu yang baru. Maka melalui dari tiga tahap ini lah hasil transformasi antara upacara Belian dan tari Gitang Paser dari aspek rasa, bentuk, dan makna masing-masing bisa berubah, masih nampak ataupun menjadi samar-samar.Hasil analisis di atas menunjukkan adanya suatu perubahan bentuk penyajian, makna serta fungsi upacara Belian ke dalam tari Gitang. Hasil yang didapat memberikan nilai yang bersifat mengembangkan. Salah satu pengembangan yang dapat dilihat dari bentuk penyajian yaitu gerak, gerak pada upacara Belian lebih sederhana hanya menggunakan dua motif yaitu perambut dan kerkesek ketika berubah maka gerak tersebut lebih dinamis karena memiliki berbagai macam motif. Pengembangan yang terjadi pada bentuk penyajian memberikan dampak perubahan pula pada fungsi. Fungsi pada upacara lebih pada ritual pengobatan ketika berubah menjadi tari Gitang fungsi tersebut sebagai hiburan semata tanpa meninggalkan suasana magis. Ketika bentuk dan fungsi berubah mengakibatkan perubahan makna yang terjadi pada tari Gitang yaitu hilangnya kepercayaan masyarakat setempat terhadap upacara Belian.  Belian ceremony is a ritual of treatment, debt repayment, and cleaning of villages located in Paser District. This Belian ceremony is based on a belief system of supernatural powers. The core of the Belian ceremony is in the form of movements and mantras. The movement attended at this Belian ceremony inspired an artist named Irusmiati to transform the Belian ceremony into a Gitang Paser dance. Motion in Gitang dance is inspired by two motive motifs performed by Mulung that is perambut (slow motion) kerkesek (fast motion) and the sound of gitang. It is developed in rhythm, rhythm and use of power making it more dynamic. To know what aspects are transformed at Belian ceremony into Gitang Paser dance then the researcher uses the concept proposed by Djoharnurani which shows that the process of transfomation can be passed in three stages that is 1) Stage of understanding and appreciation of meaning 2) the reception stage and 3) stage of action. In the first point is the understanding and appreciation of the meaning of values that are transformed. The second point is acceptance which means acceptance is one of the aspects that exist in the transformation process. Then on the aspect stage of action transformation brings about an ational stimulus or an idea to create a new one. So through these three stages is the result of the transformation between Belian ceremonies into Gitang Paser dance from the aspect of taste, form, and meaning of each can change, remain visible or become blurred. The results of the above analysis indicate a change in the form of presentation, meaning and function of Belian ceremony into Gitang dance. The results obtained provide a value that is developing. One of the developments that can be seen from the form of motion presentation, motion at Belian ceremony is simpler by using only two motifs that is perambut and kerkesek When changed the motion is more dynamic because it has a variety of motives. The development that occurs in the form of presentation gives effect to changes also on the function. The function at this ceremony is more on the treatment ritual when it transforms into a Gitang dance function as a mere entertainment without leaving the magical atmosphere. When the form and function change resulted in a change of meaning that occurred in Gitang dance that is the loss of local belief in Belian ceremony.

The continuing erosion of citizen trust and confidence in government has been attributed to a number of factors. This chapter examines the potential role of digital transformation of government in reversing this decline. Based on a systematic literature review, key factors that influence citizen trust and confidence in government as an institution are identified, including citizen satisfaction and expectations, government transparency and accountability, transformation of government, and government performance. The review of the literature also reveals a lack of knowledge and understanding of how transformation of government can influence the growing decline in citizen engagement with government. To address this gap, a conceptual model capturing the key constructs is proposed to support a better understanding of strategies for rebuilding trust and confidence in government administrations through transformation of government.

The concept of digital transformation (DT) has reached a heightened demand level on the executives' agenda, especially when it is related to elements that influence the development and activities of contemporary firms being prevalent in discussions about industrial and social changes. This theme leads the authors to reflect on the key strategic drivers used by firms to carry out the qualitative process (prior experience) of digital business transformation. It reinforces the purpose of understanding the key strategic drivers used by firms in recent years to guide the digital business transformation process. The systematic literature review was performed in the “WoS database,” according to Boolean logic, aiming to capture the essential properties of the logical operators and sets of statements about the theme presented to compose the study. The results indicate a higher frequency for the big data and digitization drivers, followed by the innovation driver within the analyzed period.

Digitizing public services is, at the moment, an essential necessity for numerous governments around the world. An improved government through digitization will not only have a growing effect on businesses, but it will also be able to intensify citizen engagement and push for economic growth. During the last 10 years more countries have progressively begun to provide digital services to their citizens. Therefore, in order to address this development, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the digital government literature in order to describe the aspects of digital transformation in the public sector and how it is related to knowledge management. In this study the methodology is quantitative and it is based on a review and a survey made with the main goal being the estimation from several collected data on how the digital transformation process in the Public Administration takes place and what its relationship is with knowledge management. The review study is based on articles found on Scopus database and it addresses the role that digital government research plays in the theory and practice of knowledge management. In the survey study, 54 employees working for the services of the two governmental areas of the Portuguese Ministry of the Environment were surveyed. The results show that the research on the theme is still at an exploratory stage due to the lack of studies relating digital government to knowledge management effectiveness in the public sector. The results also show that the success of digital government seems to be related with the quality of the organizations’ knowledge management, complementing each other for significant improvements in the public sector. In terms of originality, this study aims to contribute and stimulate data-driven discussions regarding the impacts of the digital transformation in the public sector and their relation with the implementation of knowledge management practices. The results offer insights into future research needs.

PurposeThis study, an exploratory one, aims to empirically investigate the association of national intellectual capital (NIC) with the national digital transformation readiness of the European Union's (EU’s) member states. Apart from building the conceptual model of NIC, this study explores the role of NIC dimensions in the digital divide between European countries.Design/methodology/approachBased on the literature review and the available EU statistical data and indexes, the theoretical framework and conceptual model for NIC were developed. The model explores the relation of NIC and its dimensions (human, social, structural, relational and renewable/development capital) on the readiness of European countries for digital transformation and the digital divide. Significant differences between EU countries in NIC and digital readiness were tested. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the association of each NIC dimension with digital transformation and digital divide within the EU.FindingsDespite a positive association between all dimensions of NIC and digital transformation readiness, the proposed model of NIC was not confirmed in full. Regression analysis proved social capital and working skills, a dimension of human capital, to be the predictors of digital transformation at a national level, able to detect certain elements of digital divide between EU member states. Structural capital, knowledge and education, as dimensions of human capital, were predictors of the digital divide in terms of the integration of digital media in companies.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has a limited propensity for generalisation due to the lack of common measurement models in the field of NIC exploration.Practical implicationsThis research offers policy makers an indication of the relationships between NIC and digital transformation, pointing out which dimensions of NIC should be strengthened to allow the EU to meet the challenges of digital economy and to overcome the digital divide between EU member states.Social implicationsThe use of digital technologies is key in creating active and informed citizens in the public sphere and productive companies and economic growth in the business sphere.Originality/valueThis study provides an original theoretical framework and conceptual model through which to analyse the relationship between NIC and digital transformation, which has thus far not been explored at the level of the EU. This research makes an original contribution to the empirical exploration of NIC and produces new insights in the fields of digital transformation and intellectual capital.
