The theme of the workshop is Digital Transformation in Industries and Society: New trends and emerging research avenues  

Digital transformation refers to the unprecedented disruptions in society, industry, and organizations stimulated by advances in digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Metaverse, big data analytics, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Even though digital technologies are the primary enablers, other factors have also driven digital transformation. These include evolving organizational relationships, consumer behaviors and expectations, digital competitions, and data availability. It has been noted that the impacts pertinent to digital transformation are vast and extend beyond consumer behavior or organizations into other domains such as social dynamics. The potential impact on the way we conduct business, interact with others, is likely to be transformational as the distinct lines between physical and digital are likely to be somewhat blurred from current perceptions. However, although the technology and infrastructure does not yet exist to allow the development of new immersive virtual worlds at scale, researchers are increasingly examining the transformative impact of the metaverse. Furthermore, digital transformation is expected to exact a toll on the sustainability triangle, i.e., environmental sustainability. Presently, there is a lack of studies to map digital transformation in the environmental sustainability domain. Hence, there is a need for more comprehensive studies to understand the impacts of digital transformation in various aspects that are currently ignored in the literature, such as the impact on corporate social responsibility, society, performance, and the environment. Furthermore, doing business through digital and sustainable processes opens novel opportunities and poses additional challenges to firms who have an international presence and/or are part of complex value chain, often spanning national borders.

Given this background, we encourage conceptual and empirical papers using a diverse range of methods (either quantitative or qualitative). In particular, research papers bridging the gap between theoretical conceptions and practical insights are highly welcome. As such, this workshop calls for is but not limited to the below themes:

§  Digital transformation and organizational behavior

§  Digital technology, Innovation and social change

§  AI, digital transformation and society

§  Digital transformation on sustainable development for businesses and societies

§  The influence of AI on interorganizational relationships

§  Web 3.0 and Metaverse

§  Social media and platforms

§  Social media influencers

§  Big data and business analytics ecosystems

§  Sustainable innovation, disruption, and change

§  Key drivers and main outcomes of digital transformation and innovation for businesses

§  Digital supply chain transformation

§  Digital transformation of SMEs
