Abstract

In the original language

Digital transformation is considered as a part of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) (Ubiparipović et al., 2020). It has gained significant recognition as a prominent area of research, coinciding with the widespread adoption of digital technologies in various sectors, industries, and organizational management practices (Shi et al., 2022; Appio et al., 2021; Lanzolla et al., 2020; Vial, 2019). The topic has also received extensive attention in the field of public administration and management, where it has been covered both from the preconditions relevant for enacting substantive changes and from potential scenarios for future outcomes (Mergel et al., 2019; Jonathan, 2020; Criado & Gil-Garcia, 2019; Duhamel et al., 2023; Dunleavy & Margetts, 2023). This chapter outlines our understanding of digital transformation and explains the analytical framework that was followed by authors of individual chapters included in this volume.
