Digital transformation is a key driving force of open innovation to capture and transfer knowledge inside and outside of a company’s bounds. New challenges in organizing multiple knowledge flows imply the need for increased competences related to this paradigm of future employees. In this article, we organize and aggregate the competencies required for open innovation collaboration and develop a competence profile that organizes individual competencies in an open innovation context. Based on elements of the European Entrepreneurship Competence Framework, we delineate an OI Competence Profile and list the core competencies to manage and accelerate the inflow and outflow of knowledge. We explore this profile by comparing data from 2332 students from four European universities to find differences in the distribution of OI competencies between countries. The study contributes to understanding the individual competencies that target the future OI needs of companies necessary in the context of digital transformation. It also introduces an interdisciplinary approach to integrate the research streams of management practice, open innovation, and entrepreneurial education.

Multiple Case

The article identifies how Research and Development (R&D) collaborations in startups can influence digital innovation in Brazilian manufactures. A qualitative multiple case study was performed with startups incubated at the Federation of Industries of Paraná (FIEP), through semi-structured interviews to the Chief Executive Officer (CEOs) and case document’s, applying the content analysis. The results indicate that the sources of knowledge of the startups and the collaboration with companies, universities, government development agencies and incubators, characterize the actions in the ecosystem of open innovation. It has been found that the complexity of the innovation ecosystem of startups is a strategic asset, and the nature of the collaborations is informal, coupled with a stage of maturity considered low in startups. This study contributes to highlight the nature, dynamics and progress of startup collaborations in the development of digital transformation, and the challenges for the leverage of Industry 4.0 in Brazil.

This paper looks back at 2014–2017 as a period of extraordinary transition of the international and Australian oil and gas industry, with mounting evidence that the industry and broader energy value chain is entering an era of unprecedented digital transformation. This process is expected to accelerate through 2018–2025, with profound implications for industry stakeholders. The key question is: are organisations and the industry more broadly doing enough, well enough, fast enough? Emerging from the lows of a pronounced industry recession, and subsequent and ongoing consolidation, there is now growing, broad-based acceptance that the industry needs to engage new business models that leverage modern digital technology to reform productivity and broader industry performance. However, the harsh reality is that other industries are delivering superior results, faster, which is driving a need for an elevated and sustainable strategic response. This paper seeks to illustrate the digital links that must be established along the full value chain between data access and management, predictive analytics, visualisation, team collaboration and communication technology. The digital links are enabled by internet connectivity and cloud-based infrastructure, which presents an opportunity for organisations of all sizes to realise benefits along the complete chain. This paper is structured in four parts: • The strategic context – what is driving the need to engage in digital transformation? • The digital transformation value proposition – what value can be achieved? • Case studies – what are examples of digital transformation? • Key learnings – what should we note from thousands of global digital initiatives underway along the energy oil, gas and energy value chain? The main takeaways from this study are: • There is an unprecedented opportunity to transform the oil and gas value chain to deliver new growth and improved productivity, linking real-time data, predictive analytics, interactive visualisation and collaboration. • Digital transformation is affordable, readily implemented and scalable to meet current and changing future needs. • There are many powerful examples of material value add across exploration, development, operations and business management. • Many organisations and the industry as a whole is lagging others – the industry is not doing enough, well enough, fast enough. • The time to act/accelerate is now. • Digital transformation is not about technology alone. Keys to success include vision, leadership, culture and data quality.

Abstract Many oil & gas companies embarked on their Digital Transformation (DX) journeys with rapid adoption of emerging digital technologies. Successful digital transformation initiatives are necessary for Oil/Gas Companies to improve efficiencies, streamline their operations and meet pressing challenges for cost reduction, increased efficiency, and improved safety. Oil & Gas fields and processing facilities require robust and reliable telecommunication infrastructure to support the application of much needed digital technologies. The availability of high-speed connectivity has been a challenge for many Oil/Gas companies operating in remote or hazardous locations. The latest Fifth Generation cellular technology (5 G) addresses such essential Oil/Gas requirements as increased speeds/bandwidths, very low network latencies, ultra-reliable communications, and the capacity to handle large number of users. 5G is designed around following technologies: Small (micro) cells requiring less power,Higher frequencies offering bigger data handling capacities,Cloud and Edge Computing for low network latencies and added security. These 5G design features will enable numerous Oil/Gas applications such as Industrial Robots/Drones, Virtual/Augmented Reality, Video Surveillance with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features (Face Recognition, Object Recognition & intelligent Image processing), Remote Asset Management, Industrial IoT communication between Sensors, Gateways and Device Controllers, Pipeline Leak Detection Systems, Telemetry and SCADA. 5G is therefore poised to be a key enabler in Digital Transformation. The UAE has an advanced telecom infrastructure that offers customers high speed fibre optic connectivity. UAE telecom operators have also been quick to deploy 5G in main cities. Etisalat for example is running a 5G pilot on Das Island with ADNOC Offshore and a major Network Supplier to test potential use cases of the technology in the O&G industry. The push for 5G in O&G will benefit from cooperation between the O&G industry, the telecom operators and technology providers. The role of Governments and the Telecom Regulators can further accelerate adoption through allocation of frequency spectrum to enable 5G Private Network model of deployment. The private network model is crucial for the Oil & Gas industry in view of the special requirements, nature and remoteness of oil and gas installations.

La transformación digital de los medios se alimenta hoy de abundante y excelente teoría construida sobre el concepto de convergencia hace más de dos décadas, pero de muy escaso procedimiento o metodología para su análisis, medición y control como proceso. Las lecciones aprendidas del proceso fallido de transformación digital de la prensa (convergencia) abren la puerta a nuevos enfoques investigativos si se utilizan las mejores técnicas y metodologías empleadas en otras industrias con éxito rotundo. Con el desarrollo de MAT (Media Analysis Tool) se propone una plataforma colaborativa (Open Innovation) online gratuita para la recogida, explotación de datos y reporting bajo demanda (dashboards y visualización) disponible para cualquier medio (impreso, radio y TV). El objetivo es ofrecer medición precisa de su nivel de madurez en el proceso de transformación digital y el potencial de cambio en su organización. Se trata de una mejora sobre los esfuerzos de investigadores españoles para calcular el índice de convergencia de un medio basada en variables de colaboración, polivalencia, distribución y relación entre redacciones y en las aportaciones de Moreno y Fruin (2009) con NAT —Newspaper Analysis Tool— que sirven de fundamento teórico y metodológico testado con éxito en periódicos para proponer el diseño funcional de la plataforma Media Analysis Tool (MAT).   Analysis, Measuring, and Control in the Process of Media Digital Transformation: Media Analysis Tool (MAT) The digital transformation of the media industry feeds today on abundant and excellent theory built on the concept of convergence more than two decades ago, but on very little procedure or methodology for its analysis, measurement and control as a process. Lessons learned from the failed process of digital transformation of the press industry (convergence) open the door to alternative investigative approaches if the best techniques and methodologies utilized in other industries (with resounding success) are used and applied wisely in ours. With the development of MAT (Media Analysis Tool), a free online collaborative platform (Open Innovation) is proposed for the collection, exploitation of data and reporting on demand (dashboards and visualization) available for any media platform (print, radio, and TV). The main goal is to offer an accurate measurement of the level of maturity regarding the process of digital transformation and the potential for change in the media organization. This is an improvement over the efforts of Spanish researchers to calculate the convergence index of a medium based on variables of collaboration, versatility, distribution, and the relationship between newsrooms and on the contributions of Moreno and Fruin (2009) with NAT —Newspaper Analysis Tool— which serve as a theoretical and methodological foundation successfully tested in newspapers to propose the functional design of the MAT (Media Analysis Tool) platform.   Palabras clave: transformación digital, gestión del cambio, reingeniería de procesos, innovación abierta, convergencia de medios. Key words: digital transformation, change management, business process reengineering, open innovation, media convergence.
