Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital transformation is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, necessitating significant business model innovation. This special issue delves into how organizations can leverage digital technologies to reinvent their business models, creating new value propositions and gaining competitive advantage.
Business model innovation in the digital era involves rethinking traditional approaches to value creation, delivery, and capture. Companies are increasingly adopting digital platforms, advanced analytics, and AI to enhance customer experiences, streamline operations, and explore new revenue streams. For instance, the shift to subscription-based models in software and media sectors exemplifies how digital transformation drives business model evolution.
Moreover, the integration of digital technologies facilitates greater agility and responsiveness, enabling firms to adapt swiftly to market changes and emerging customer needs. This issue will explore case studies and theoretical frameworks that highlight successful digital transformation initiatives, shedding light on best practices and common pitfalls.
Contributors to this Special Issue will address key themes such as the impact of digital ecosystems, the role of data-driven decision-making, and the importance of a customer-centric approach. By examining these facets, this issue aims to provide valuable insights for business leaders and academics striving to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and drive sustainable innovation.
