Digital Transformation in Educational Organizations: Leadership, Innovation and Industry 4.0 (Routledge Open Business and Economics)
by Paweł PoszytekTechnological transformation should lead to enhance people’s potential and the development of their cognitive and social competences, especially those connected with effective communication on different levels.

Exploring how educational leaders manage the challenges of digital transformation, using European collaborative projects, this research volume discusses how this process impacts the effectiveness and sustainability of organizational activities. Establishing a model for assessing digital transformation in educational organizations and evaluating the effectiveness of their leaders, it will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of leadership, organizational change, management of technology and innovation, and those interested in the development of education and the utilization of digitalization.

Digital Transformation in the Cultural Heritage Sector: Challenges to Marketing in the New Digital Era (Contributions to Management Science)
by Tiziana Russo Spena Francesco BifulcoThis book devises an alternative conceptual framework to understand digital transformation in the cultural heritage sector. It achieves this by placing a high importance on the role of technology in the strategic process of modeling and developing cultural services in the digital era. The focus is on how marketing activities and customer processes are being transformed by digital technologies to create better value, which can also be communicated to customers through an engaged and personalized approach. Much of the digital debate in cultural heritage is still in infancy. Some existing studies are anecdotal and often developed within the domain of established research streams, including studies with some technological aspects addressed partially and from an episodic or periodic perspective. Moreover, the critical changes that have emerged in the cultural management landscape are yet to be highlighted. This book fills that gap and provides a perspective on the cultural heritage sector, which uses the new social and technology landscape to describe the digital transformation in cultural heritage sectors. The authors highlight an inclusive perspective that addresses marketing strategy in the digital era as a proactive, technology-enabled process by which firms collaborate with customers to jointly create, communicate, deliver, and sustain experience and value co-creation.
