Digital transformation: Toward new research themes and collaborations yet to be explored

This study aimed at providing an overview of research themes and collaborations in the digital transformation scholarship. The methods of co-word analysis, co-author analysis, and network analysis were employed to network-analyze the keywords, countries, and institutions of 2820 research articles published on the digital transformation topic and indexed by the Web of Science database. Our main results indicated that researchers have mostly focused on three aspects of the digital transformation phenomenon including Technological and Industrial View, Organizational and Managerial View, and Global and Social View. Also, it was realized that Technology, Sustainability, Big Data, Information and Communications Technology, Innovation, Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Business Model, Social Media, and Digitization are the most recurring themes in this field of research. Besides, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Blockchain, Machine Learning, Knowledge Management, and Sustainable Development were respectively identified as the five hottest issues in the digital transformation scholarship. The contribution of our study highlights that European countries and specially the institutions of northern Europe have had better performance in the research collaborations in digital transformation.

The purpose of this article is to verify how museums in Poland deal with the challenge of digital transformation. The proliferation of information and communications technology (ICT) enables the digitization of museum collections and increases their availability to the public. The preservation and popularization of cultural heritage, being an important part of the cultural policy, is a priority for the European Union, resulting in increased funding of digitization initiatives. The study presented in this article is based on a survey performed among a group of leading museums in Poland which are recorded in the State Register of Museums. The results show that museums accept digitization as a crucial element of their activity. 69% of the institutions present some part of their collections online and 94% intend to increase the scope of digitization. However, most institutions share less than 25% of their current collections online despite having a larger part digitized. 83% of museums share their collections exclusively on their own websites or dedicated platforms, and most institutions (62%) observe a positive connection between sharing collections online and the number of physical visits to the museum. The results also show that museums tend to prioritize heritage preservation over collection sharing.

Smart Factories

In Industry 4.0, many manufacturers have built smart factories by ICTs (Information and Communications Technology), and simulation is one of the core technologies for smart manufacturing. Various kinds of simulations, depending on system levels, such as assembly line, logistics, worker, and process, are utilized for smart manufacturing. Manufacturers own heterogeneous simulations; however, they have difficulty integrating and interoperating them. This paper proposes a novel simulation framework for smart manufacturing based on the concept of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulation. The LVC interoperation provides a synthetic simulation environment with the above three types of simulations. With the LVC interoperation, we propose a systematic and efficient architecture for smart manufacturing. To be specific, the interface technologies between the heterogeneous simulations and their interoperable methods are developed. Finally, we provide a practical LVC simulation applied in the manufacturing company and show what synergy can be created using the LVC simulation.

Policy Promotion

The promotion and dissemination of a government’s basic policy are essential to implement innovative public services to establish sustainable country development and to ensure that the benefits are shared among citizens. This study focused on the MOOCs project in Thailand, and five courses were selected for exploration. Qualitative content analysis and sentiment analysis were applied to understand how information and communications technology in government services was promoted in the courses. These methods also explained the differences in the content of each course. It turned out that the strategy of improving service quality was the most-emphasized strategy in courses with an explanation of positive sentiment. The number of users who received a positive explanation of improving service quality was estimated at 711 and rated as a satisfactory result. The result of the qualitative content analysis was assembled into groups that could reveal the government’s pleiotropic orientation in their work on basic policy. All of these groups are involved in the international criteria for a government’s digital transformation, and other activities have also been highlighted as future challenges. The possibility of using MOOCs for policy promotion and education is suggested to bridge the gap between Thailand and other countries.

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused huge strain on health infrastructure. In this pandemic, burden on healthcare workforce is rising, as there was need to give treatment, observing, and subsequent follow-ups during the epidemic. Consequently, the Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly affected healthcare. Clinical focuses are presently reacting to CORONA VIRUS 19 through fast appropriation of advanced devices and advances, for example, Tele health and effective consideration which allude to the conveyance of medical care directing computerized or a ways off utilizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for therapy of One still living. Tele health was required to convey opportune consideration while limiting openness to secure clinical professionals and One still living. In like manner, a quick writing audit was led, and 35 examination contemplates distributed from 2019 to May 2020 were utilized to give hypothetical and functional proof on the hugeness of utilizing Tele health and effective consideration for far off treatment of One still living during the CORONA VIRUS 19epidemic. This article gives down to earth manage dependent on the best way to utilize Tele health and effective consideration during the CORONA VIRUS 19 epidemic. This investigation gives suggestion on the possibilities of combining effective consideration arrangements soon towards adding to incorporate advanced innovations into medical services.
