Digital Innovation and Digital Business Transformation in the Age of Digital Change

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
New Trends in Business Information Systems and Technology

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 294))

Abstract

This chapter introduces the central theme of the book and the following chapters. In our book, we present 20 selected examples of digitalization in the age of digital change. The chapters are divided into two parts, called “Digital Innovation” and “Digital Business Transformation”. On the one hand, digital innovation includes cases where a new technology stimulates or enables new business opportunities. On the other hand, digital business transformation collects examples of digitalization in which business or management concepts exploit certain technological solutions for their practical implementation. To share this mind-set with the reader, quantum-computing technology will be taken as an example of digital innovation. This will be followed by reflections on digital business transformation, which seeks and uses digital technologies. Finally, the next chapters will be presented accordingly.
