Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 virus has demonstrated the vulnerability and fragility of our high-tech society with respect to human health and the resulting economic and social situation. At the same time, modern electronic communication has enabled us to find relatively quick responses to medical threats by testing, vaccinating, and overcoming personal distancing. A digitalized economy and society is our new reality. It brings with it a need for digital transformation, which entails a profound transformation of business and organizational activities, processes, competencies, and models to fully harness the opportunities of modern information and communication technologies. Digital transformation does not exclusively include modern information technologies, but also its related challenges, such as process reengineering, changed roles, responsibilities, and functions. It covers a wide range of changes, from the digitization of information (the analog–digital conversion) to digitalization of industries and organizations (the process) and the digital transformation of societies (the effect) that are collectively accelerating the global and societal transformation process.
Our Special Issue, therefore, reflects changes that COVID 19 and digital transformation present for information management.
This Special Issue invites papers covering a wide range of topics, ranging from process transformation to aspects of digitalization for society.
We will accept papers for peer review in the following areas of interest:
- COVID-19—impact, strategies, and responses in digital world;
- Digital economy and Industry 4.0;
- Innovation, new business models, and strategies;
- Towards 2030—digital transformation in crisis management;

- Digital security, safety, and trust of smart systems for a resilient society;
- People and processes in enterprise software development.
