Institute of Digital Transformation

Description

The rapid advancement of technology and societal shifts significantly influence business models, necessitating novel operational methods. Strathclyde Business School's Institute of Digital Transformation conducts interdisciplinary research in numerous domains, aiming to assist organisations in adapting to the opportunities and challenges of the evolving digital landscape. It also strives to facilitate an understanding of how digital technology's widespread evolution and adoption transform organisational expectations, activities, and behaviours, alongside broader societal impacts. The Institute, although based at Strathclyde Business School, is an interdepartmental entity, incorporating expertise from the University's Engineering, Science and Humanities faculties. This ensures a comprehensive and cohesive approach to digital research, benefiting businesses and customers alike.

Although consulting firms have mainly conducted research into digital transformation, an increasing volume of academic research enriches and substantiates this foundation. The Institute aims to aid organisations in comprehending their roles in this digital era, securing value from digital investments, and discerning the necessary changes in organisational activity and workforce effects, among other societal elements.

The research priorities of the Institute include building a talent agenda reflecting the need for digital literacy and organisational change; developing new customer-facing organisational models; creating ways of scaling organisations after digital investment; understanding how companies innovate in digitised customer environments; exploring the impact of AI on organisational roles; and investigating other related areas, such as health technology, AI and robotics, data security and privacy, mobile and social technology, in-store retail technology, data poverty and society, and digital customer orientation.
