Governance Challenges

The financial sector plays a significant role in the economics of all nations. The Saudi Arabian economy ranks amongst the top twenty in the world. Consequently, the financial sector occupies a critical position within Saudi Arabia. Contemporary digital technology has rendered the financial sector heavily dependent upon information technology (IT) as a means of enhancing and extending its operational scope. Hence, efficient governance is required to streamline and utilize information technology. Moreover, the pivotal importance of the financial sector requires that IT governance challenges have to be swiftly identified. However, there is a manifest absence of scholarship regarding IT governance issues not only in the widest sense, but also specifically in the context of the financial sectors. This research seeks to identify the inherent challenges associated with IT governance in Saudi Arabia's financial sector with a view to generalizing any findings and contributing to future research in this field.

Many businesses around the world have begun to take advantage of digital technology in recent years. Making use of digital technology enables one to do things in less time, need fewer employees, reduce costs, use information and resources effectively, produce the most products with the least resources, and consequently, increase the profitability of the enterprises. The shipping sector is one of the building blocks of the maritime industry. It aims to increase its profitability by digitizing in today's increasingly competitive conditions. In recent years, digital twin (DT) technology has been used extensively for the digitalization of the sector. This chapter introduces the current and potential uses of DT technology in ship operations and management and gives an idea about how DT technology will create an opportunity to develop the shipping sector.

2015 was designated the International Year of Evaluation, suggesting that evaluation has an important role to play in service of positive global ideals. It is vital to recognize the critical role that the education of evaluators plays in these efforts. The current study uses an online search and curricular analysis to provide a snapshot of evaluation education in late 2017 as well as a retrospective analysis of advanced degrees in evaluation offered at universities across time. The results indicate a period of dramatic growth in the number of certificates and master’s degrees being offered at universities across the world over the decades, with a minor decrease in doctoral programs in the past 5 years. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review (SLR) of the relationship between smart and digital technologies and organisations’ reporting processes, proposing a future research agenda. The paper examines the effects of data and digital technology on the corporate reporting process by analysing the various kinds of reports by organisations. Design/methodology/approach A two-decade assessment of studies was analysed to answer research questions. A SLR explored the role of digital and smart technologies for corporate reporting processes. The Scopus database was used as a leading source for access to the articles. Initially, 163 items were collected. After reading the abstract and several refinements, 43 prioritised publications were analysed and categorised to derive significant results. Findings Results of the analysis highlight the following emerging research streams about the digital transformation of corporate reporting: digital technology for corporate information management and decision-making processes; digital technologies as a tool of stakeholder engagement and sustainable reporting practices; and finally, digital technologies as a way to address earning management, corporate social responsibility, accountability and transparency. Research limitations/implications How digital technology and data analytics may potentially transform the corporate reporting process to make it more effective, resulting in greater transparency for shareholders and all stakeholders. Originality/value The originality of this paper derives from connecting, for the first time, smart and digital technologies and corporate reporting processes, drafting the state of the art of this research topic for future research.

Purpose Fifty-five per cent of executives at large corporations are extremely concerned about digital startups becoming significant competitors in their market. If the best technology these startups use is available to everyone and larger companies have the budgets to buy more, how can startups cause such a lack of sleep for leaders? Could the reason be the people, as startups generally are run and staffed by Millennials? Design/methodology/approach The evidence for this comes via three separate research efforts and hundreds of hours of intense interviews with transformation leaders in commercial organizations such as USAA, Southwest Airlines, Citi, Hallmark, MIT and government agencies such as the GSA and the FCC. This research looked at how organizations were changing the way they think, organize, invest and act in pursuit of digital transformation success. Findings Sixteen per cent of larger organizations saw a real return on their digital transformation efforts. Successful digitally transforming organizations could cut OPEX three times more effectively than other organizations. Successful digitally transforming organizations (56 per cent of them) saw sales performance and customer satisfaction rise in unison. Forty-two per cent of these organizations revealed and solved new digital challenges that they had not recognized before; 87 per cent of these organizations saw enhanced growth in demand. Originality/value Technology is a huge part of digital transformation. IDC has predicted that in 2017, $1.7tn will be invested on digital transformation technology and processes alone. That is the size of the tenth largest economy in the world.

It is argued that the digital technology has made possible the vast range of applications and media forms including virtual reality, digital special effects, digital film, digital television, electronic music, computer games, multimedia, the Internet, the World Wide Web, digital telephony and so on [8]. Digital transformation has been particularly influential in new directions of society.Providing schools with digital technology promises a high return on investment. The presence of computers and Internet access raises technology literacy and skills, better preparing the future generations to participate in the information society [12]. To this end, schools represent ideal access points because they cover a large part of the population, especially in developing countries. Starting from 1990s, many educators have been realised the potential of Internet for educational purposes and began to introduce it into classrooms. According to [10] the popularity of web-based teaching and learning lies in the strengths of its distributed nature and the case of its browsing facility. Both the use of digital technology and increased interest in student-centered learning may lead to a significant change of the teacher’s role, as well as the recognition of the active role of the learner in the learning process.

The world stands on the precarious edge of an innovative transformation that will on a very basic level modify the manner in which we live, work, and identify with each other. In its scale, degree, and unpredictability, the change will be not normal for anything mankind has encountered previously. We don't yet know exactly how it will unfurl, however one thing is clear: the reaction to it should be incorporated and exhaustive, including all partners of the worldwide nation, from the general population and private segments to the scholarly community and common society. It is The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the digital revolution. The digital revolution has opened way for many impacts. All of the emirates are experiencing the effects of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” This revolution reflects the velocity, scope, and systems impact of a digital transformation that is changing economies, jobs, and work as it is currently known. Characteristics of the revolution include a fusion of technologies across the physical, digital, and biological spheres.
