Description: This book aims to discuss and present the main trends and challenges in Digital
Business Innovation to a composite audience of practitioners and scholars.
Accordingly, each considered topic will be analyzed in its technical and managerial
aspects, also through the use of case studies and examples, the book having
two main objectives:
• to review and discuss recent digital trends emerging from both managerial and
scientific literature. Furthermore, the book aims to summarize, compare, and
comment challenges and approaches to business digital transformation of
organization, being a simple yet ready to consult scientific toolbox for both
managers and scholars;
• to be the first of a yearly outlook focused on digital trends emerging from both
the managerial and scientific literature, supporting organizations to identify and
take advantage of digital business innovation and transformation, as well as its
related opportunities.
As for the review objective, it is yet challenging to find a unified survey of
current scientific work concerning relevant topics to digital business innovation,
such as, for example, the different perspectives of Information Systems research
(from management to computer science and engineering, among others).
Furthermore, it is yet difficult to find such kind of unified survey acting as an
instrument for providing practitioners a perspective on academic research, suitable
to be used by them in their day-to-day activities or simply as an update on what
academia may offer with regard to the industry proposals. Notwithstanding some
journals such as, e.g., MIT Sloan Management Review, IEEE Computer, or the
Communications of the ACM (CACM) have such a mission of connecting
research and industry practices, at the best of the author knowledge they do not
provide a yearly integrated summary or critical review, encompassing their
respective areas (management, engineering, and computer science).
