FAE Investiga: Digital transformation: A multidisciplinary perspective and future research agenda

¡Saludos a todos y a todas!  Les invito a la tercera presentación de este año académico de la serie FAE investiga en la que el doctor Justin Paul, de la EGAE, nos compartirá su investigación Digital transformation: A multidisciplinary perspective and future research agenda.

Digital transformation has had an unprecedented influence on all business sectors over the last decade. We are entering an era characterized by the extensive digital transformation of businesses, society, and consumers. Therefore, digital transformation has become a pivotal focus for organizations across various sectors in recent years. Despite differing scholarly perspectives on the concept and elements of digital transformation, a consensus exists that it significantly impacts consumer decisions and necessitates organizational adaptation. Recent challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have further accelerated the need for digital transformation and its effects on consumers. This necessitates an editorial perspective on this most important topic to establish a future research agenda encompassing the various dimensions of digital transformation. The purpose of this editorial perspective is to review research on digital transformation from a multidisciplinary viewpoint and provide insights into several key domains—Internet-of-Things, social media, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, the metaverse, and corporate digital responsibility—that are poised to fuel the pace of digital transformation. Each domain is analyzed through a lens of introduction, role, importance, multifaceted impact, and conclusions. Future research directions are suggested.
