<p>Same as the general public differently interprets the same phenomena in diverse cultures, leaders’ standpoints differ also. Because of unequal advancement and cultural diversity, a specific welfare level or geography perceives digital transformation that is radically disparate from others. In advanced economies, leaders comprehensively recognize the products and trending technologies of the digital era on a broader scale. But it is different in an emerging economy. Naturally, the factors such as the industry and the globalization of the companies matter, yet a survey in a widespread sector can help to project business leaders’ and managers’ perception of digital transformation and bring different judgments. Two questions come fore at this point: <em>If business leaders focus on or are aware of the products and ideas of current technologies, </em>and <em>if they appropriately construe these ideas and products. </em>In Turkey, leaders predominantly tend to identity digital transformation with social media, still! Although digital transformation is related to social media, it is not limited to it. There are state-of-the-art technologies, but in such geographies, leaders require time to possess digital and technological consciousness. In this new world order, leadership has reached a point that there is a need for ultimate leaders, who origins from the very elements of this disruptive environment and rises with distinguishing skills and epoch-making perspectives. On the other hand, <em>learning and performance</em> are indispensable parameters for leaders in times of digital transformation. This article underlines the significant factors that impact these parameters.</p>

The new world order reminds disruptions and turmoil. Exponentially-developing technology plays a significant role in causing these radical changes. These rapidly-changing conditions affect leaders with all humans. As scientific knowledge, digital transformation, technology is a backbone at the point that humanity has reached. Thus, it has become a critical component, which affects leader behaviors and the skillset expected from them. In this context, this article introduces a new leader who distinguishes from other styles. This distinction arises from the skills that leaders must adopt in the future are different than the past, from the reality of the earth’s being on the edge of collapse, business leaders’ being obliged to act upon it. And along with these specific behaviors, the leaders’ having data-driven mindsets, being technology adept.

Fundamental changes are taking place both within national borders and on the international stage. While technological advances are accelerating globalization, which brings all the nations closer together, the resurgence of populism, protectionism and nationalism is causing greater divisions along racial, ethnic, and national lines. The spectacular rise of China and the growing weight of developing nations as a whole are changing the world’s geopolitical and geoeconomic landscapes, constraining the West’s influence in global affairs and strengthening the developing world’s capacity in bargaining with advanced economies. In a new era of growing uncertainty and unpredictability, leadership and vision are the most valuable assets for any great power that seeks to shape a new world order according to its grand blueprints. From the Chinese perspective, an era of uncertainty does not only imply hidden risks and threats, but may also bring forth unprecedented strategic opportunities. Standing on the threshold of a new era with ever more readiness to claim its rightful place in the world, China is in the best position since the beginning of its modern history to play a significant role in fostering a new, truly multilateral order.

AbstractDigitalization and social media have profoundly changed the way in which we communicate and share knowledge. As a result, traditional formats of situational speech - including the specific case of academic speeches and lectures - have come under some scrutiny and pressure: Today’s digital society calls for innovative formats of situational academic communication that strategically incorporate considerations regarding social media and digitalization. Shedding light on this challenge, this paper takes a closer look at three new formats of academic speech: Slams, TEDTalks, and Science Notes. It shows that for all three formats, cross-media effects are of key importance - with attendees immediately addressed within the original situational setting becoming part of an overarching communicative event that is relayed to a wider audience via digital media. By examining the specific consequences which these and other effects entail with respect to questions of setting and performance as well as textual and content-related strategies, the paper illustrates the challenges and chances arising from new formats of situational communication in the field of knowledge communication. I argue that Slams, Ted Talks and Sciences Notes provide illuminating examples of how to combine the powerful immediacy and fascination of situational interaction with the innovative communicative possibilities of the digital era (by adapting the traditional medium of academic speech to the requirements of today’s digital society). In this sense, digitalization does not appear as heralding the end of situational speech, but rather as a genuine chance for its modernized revival.

AbstractThis article highlights the adoption of social media by organizations and its consequences on the company’s performance. These topics of debate are becoming more and more common in the business environment. In fact, it is the main argument for which this paper relates the particularly important aspects of the adoption of social media (social networks) by organizations. In the following, important aspects that bring value to the organization, both by acquiring and by adopting social media in sales performance, have been structured. This research is built on a theoretical study, including as main terms of discussion: social media adoption and digital transformation. In the last part of the article, we have summarized and concluded these factors. We have identified how they can contribute to a more efficient orientation of sales performance, to increase the organizational management of the relationship and the connection between customers and the organization. Referring to the orientation towards “use of social networks” by organizations, we demonstrate that organizations are required to give high importance to understanding the organization’s customers and, of course, a high degree of relational performance. Another factor encountered in this theoretical research is ―digital transformation”. We debated this topic in order to easily make the transition to the adoption of “social media” by organizations. Following the theoretical research, we can say that today, digital transformation has special importance in the organization and the fact that a strong link has been created among social media, reality management and performance in relational sales.

The rapid development of technology and communication had given birth to a new world order that gave an impact on all aspects of the lives of citizens. This new world order was often known as social media; a new media that was born in the digital era as a result of the existence of the internet. This media made the mobility of citizens' lives became faster so that the interaction among them almost has no boundary, and resulted in the concept of digital citizenship. The emergence of social media certainly brought positive and negative impacts that automatically created disruption to citizens' behavior. The phenomenon of the spread of black campaigns, hate speech, false news (hoaxes), heated arguments toward each other became a common issue as a result of the citizens’ unpreparedness in facing an era of disruption. Therefore, digital literacy was a necessity in this era of disrupted society so that becoming a smart and good citizen would not only be a discourse on the issue of citizenship.
