Reducing Costs

An essential characteristic of the new product development process is to develop a new marketable product in the shortest possible time with the lowest reasonable costs. Therefore, the key factor of the process is efficiency. The paints and coatings industry development process contain numerous laboratory tests to determine the appropriateness of new formulation. It is proven that digital transformation can reduce the number of laboratory tests and consequently shorten the throughput time of the development process. This raised the question of whether the faster development process also reduces the process’ cost, or they even increase due to information and communication technology implementation. Therefore, the research’s purpose was to determine whether reducing the number of laboratory tests, based on the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT), affects reducing costs in the paints and coatings development process. The conventional process and the redesigned process of paints and coatings development were used as the basis of the research. The comparative analysis of the costs incurred during the development process was made. The analysis compares the types and amount of incurred costs. The article proves that digital transformation has a significant impact on up to 48% on reducing costs of the paints and coatings development process.

As a developing country, Indonesians are still constrained by the use of digital-based technology. Based on the characteristics of geographic areas, digital discrepancy becomes an inevitable problem. So that in order to create an Information Society according to the agreement of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), collaboration between various parties is needed. One of the efforts made by the Indonesian government is to encourage the formation of the Information Society through the policy of forming Information and Communication Technology Volunteers (in Indonesia known as R-TIK/Indonesia ICT Volunteers) in various regions spread throughout Indonesia. This study aims to determine the activities of R-TIK in realizing the Information Society in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative, by conducting in-depth observations and participant observation with R-TIK activists, stakeholders, business actors (UMKM/SMMEs), and the community as R-TIK partners. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that R-TIK is able to encourage public awareness in the sustainable use of digital technology. Even R-TIK together with UMKM (SMMEs) have been able to push the rate of economic growth in Indonesia by utilizing digital technology under the name Qren.

Digital transformation (DT) introduces strategy-oriented and customer-centric changes, based on innovative usage of emerging information and communication technology (ICT), to implement improved or new processes in modern organizations. This paper provides insights into academic publishing trends and offers an analysis of scientific fields in which researches were made followed by a brief analysis of the most influential articles. Paper also identifies and discusses key determinants and influence factors of DT and some emerging trends and technologies, in order to explain organizational and technological context of DT. For better understanding of this mix of business and ICT related concepts, a framework of concepts on DT was developed and called Digital transformation playground (DTP). Its purpose is to get better understanding of what are the mainstream concepts of today, what other and emerging ICT or digitalization concepts in the context of DT arise, and how these technology elements impact business related concepts.
