This book provides the key technologies involved in an organization’s digital transformation. It offers a deep understanding of the key technologies (Blockchain, AI, Big Data, IoT, etc.) involved and details the impact, the decision-making process, and the interplay between technologies, business models, and operations.

The Technologies of the Digital Transformation have the power to remodel and improve the business processes of any type of organization. For instance, with IoT applications, manufacturing companies can collect data from their production systems and network and analyze them with BDA and AI tools. IoT enables a vast range of uses, such as developing prediction models to improve maintenance activities, improving performance in operations and production management through enhanced monitoring processes of the objects, and collecting feedback from customers.

With blockchain, companies can track the provenance of products, and consumers can monitor the journey of a particular product until its reaches their home. Blockchain can also decentralize business models and minimize transaction costs through a peer-to-peer approach. Through simulation models, companies can save costs and time by testing different configurations to identify the best option before implementing a project. Using virtual reality and augmented reality, companies can improve and develop workers’ skills through truly immersive education and training. Besides, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered one of the most popular technology of the digital transformation.

Managing the Digital Transformation: Aligning Technologies, Business Models, and Operations provides frameworks and models to support digital transformation projects. The book presents the importance of digital transformation as a resilience approach to the operations processes and business models. It covers the essential elements integrating the technology, the organizations, the operations, and supply chain management used to move toward digital transformation. Concepts and mini-case studies are included to provide a deeper understanding of digital transformation projects with a holistic view. The book also examines the role that digital transformation plays with consideration of inter-organizational and intra-organizational capabilities, along with the role of digital culture, the worker’s skills, business models, reconfiguration, as well as an operations optimization angle.

Practitioners, consultants, governments, managers, scholars, and anyone interested in digital transformation will find the contents of this book very useful.
