TY - GEN AB - "This edited volume discusses digital transformation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread lockdown policies that followed, digital technologies were touted as an effective means towards ensuring continuity and minimal interruption of day-to-day operations for businesses and other institutions. Digital transformation, however, is an inherently complex process and the pressure of short adoption times may further increase complexities for organizations looking to foster digital technologies. This volume comprises original research contributions on theoretical foundations and empirical studies of digital transformations in the pandemic era. Written by academics and practitioners from diverse disciplines and industries, the chapters cover topics such as psychological and technical implications of pandemic situations, the economic, organizational, social, and legal implications of digital adoption, and case studies for digital transformation in different industries. This book will be useful for academics, technology professionals, business policy makers, NGO managers, and governments looking to optimize their digital transformation processes to better prepare their organizations in the presence of pandemic situations."-- AU - Saeed, Saqib, AU - Rodríguez Bolívar, Manuel Pedro, AU - Thurasamy, Ramayah, CN - HC79.I55 DO - 10.1007/978-3-030-86274-9 DO - doi ID - 1441583 KW - COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- KW - Information technology KW - Information technology KW - Information technology KW - COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- KW - COVID-19 (Disease) KW - Technologie de l'information KW - Technologie de l'information KW - Technologie de l'information KW - Pandémie de COVID-19, 2020- LK - https://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-86274-9 N2 - "This edited volume discusses digital transformation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
