AbstractOn the surface, adopting technology presents itself as a technical issue. Yet, the real challenge of digital transformation in educational contexts necessitates a second-order change to disrupt and realign interconnected systems. A significant component of digital transformation in K-12 schools is an understanding of the unique affordances of digital tools and technologies and how these can be leveraged to align with learning goals and targets to impact teaching and learning in new ways. While there are several models for innovation diffusion and technology adoption in K-12 contexts, they fall short, particularly in describing the nature and interactions of these interconnected systems. These aspects of technology implementation remain a mystery. As a result, efforts to enact change in K-12 organizations often fall short due to a lack of understanding of context, inadequate goal-setting, insufficient professional development and personalized supports to build capacity, and a failure to evaluate progress. In K-12 educational settings, the people, the competencies, and the culture, alongside the strong leadership, resources, and organizational context, are all essential to effect sustainable change. We propose a model for digital transformation that considers all of these factors and interconnected systems.

This study explores the green IT adoption experience of organizations within the business process outsourcing industry in the Philippines using a multi-theory perspective. Through a multiple case study with three organizations, it presents a holistic account of the factors in green IT adoption. This study shows the usefulness of complementarily deploying adoption theory and offers important theoretical and practical implications for organizations as they extend their BPO operations globally. In this study, the authors discovered that technological and organizational context factors have greater positive impact on Green IT adoption within BPO organizations while environmental context factors have lesser impact in decision-making processes.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the key effects of digital transformation for the development of the modern world market of aviation services. The long-term international competitiveness of airlines will be determined by the use of a wide range of revolutionary technologies, new service delivery models, as well as the degree of “digitization” of key business processes.It has been established that the intensive development of the global passenger air transportation market is due to both demographic trends and the emergence of new generations of consumers. At the same time, the basic competitive advantage for airlines will be the degree of their digital maturity and the possibility of their investments in a personalized travel experience based on the use of new digital technologies. In this regard, relations between airlines and external contractors will be built in a new organizational context, as airlines will strive to provide greater flexibility for their business models.The digital transformation for airlines will mainly relate to the revision of the customer relationship system, emphasis on the “digital consumer”, and this trend will be strengthened by global digital platforms and online aggregators in the field of tourism. Comprehensive digital transformation projects are becoming increasingly important in corporate strategies of airlines. These projects, in particular, concern specialized innovative services, for example, air travel by subscription, creation of specialized corporate venture capital funds, conclusion of contracts of hybrid types.The study found that digital transformation in the global aviation services market is subject to many exogenous shocks, in particular, national law regulations that cannot adapt quickly after changes in the market. The main problem limiting the digital transformation of the industry remains the regulatory differences in countries regarding the requirements of confidentiality and data security.

AbstractAdoption of management innovations like the balanced scorecard is generally a complex process. Many subdecisions are involved and customization is often required before firms can enjoy the benefits of these innovations. Consequently, firms tend to experiment before finally implementing such complex innovations. We develop a framework differentiating between antecedents of experimentation with and actual implementation of the balanced scorecard, a distinction that has largely been neglected in the literature. Focusing on a small set of firms that experimented with the balanced scorecard, we provide initial empirical evidence. The results support the framework showing that top management involvement, innovation-contingent departments and organizational-context factors play a significant positive role in the experimentation stage, while interdepartmental communication and formalization are important variables with positive and negative influences in the implementation stage. We discuss the findings and their managerial implications.

The purpose of this chapter is to present research describing work in an organizational context in order to optimize the practices established in the most diverse domains of knowledge, attending to the relationships between information and communication technologies (ICTs) and sustainability in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. An empirical study into the impact of digital transformation via unified communication and collaboration (UC&C) technologies on the productivity and innovation of a global automotive enterprise is thus reported on in the chapter. The primary research question addressed in the study was: To what extent does digital transformation, implemented through unified communication and collaboration technologies, impact productivity and innovation within a global automotive enterprise? The conclusion of the study is that digital transformation, delivered via an integrated framework with UC&C technologies, impact productivity and opportunity for driving innovation within a global automotive enterprise.

The case details the application of a systemic, actor-centered design approach to a strategic process of digital transformation in support of industry/research collaboration in one of the administrative regions of southern Sweden. Project mainstays include regional development of “digital leadership”, the creation of a digital/physical competence center, and a larger plan to connect these mainstays to an already established, extremely successful computing- and entertainment-centered yearly event in the main city in the region. Structured around the initial problem space identification and formalization aspects, the case specifically discusses the competence center, what it should be and what activities it should facilitate. It describes the process followed and the results obtained in the divergent stages of the project by means of the early engagement of different stakeholder groups through workshop activities. Preliminary conclusions are drawn in respect to what challenges currently hinder big-scale processes for the design of complex digital/physical environments and the experiences they enable; the relative solidity of adaptive or transformative approaches versus blended space approaches for digital/physical environments; the role and relative weight of “digital” in the organizational context of digital transformation processes.
