Digital Transformation

Digitization, with the help of artificial intelligence, machine learning, social media, and cloud adoption, has significantly transformed industries and helped companies accelerate, grow and have a competitive edge. This book discusses how digital transformation can help organizations achieve growth and explores the challenges of using emerging technologies.
Digital disruption has a significant effect on how businesses operate. Organizations must follow a strategic approach while on the path to digital transformation as their technology and operational decisions must be aligned. This volume provides a roadmap for businesses to adopt digital solutions and systems in all aspects of a company’s functioning. With case-based examples, the book demonstrates how organizations globally use digital technologies to enhance their business operations; examines strategies that work and those that do not; highlights lessons organizations can learn from the success and failures of digitization; and looks at the perils of using such technology, which can often also endanger the organization's functioning and raise consumer privacy concerns.
