Digital Innovation and Strategic Transformation


Submission deadline: 1 April 2016
Publication: November/December 2016

The digital revolution is rapidly transforming the fundamental nature of
many companies and revitalizing their digital business models in a wide
range of industries, including healthcare, finance, logistics, education,
manufacturing, retail, hospitality, transportation, telecommunication, and
cities. To ensure success in this environment, IT professionals, executives,
and entrepreneurs need to understand the new business models, technology
paradigms, cultural evolutions, and management practices that foster
innovation in emerging next-generation digital-centric businesses. A few
examples of these digital platforms are Uber, Airbnb, Skype, Kindle, Apple,
Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MOOCs, and LinkedIn.

Firms must increasingly turn their attention to innovatively embracing the
promise of technological developments such as e-commerce, cloud computing,
mobile, big data, Internet of Things, social technologies, and cognitive
solutions that shape their business strategies and competitive positions.
They must also address the changing preferences and demands of customers and
society. The emerging complex and dynamic business environment offers
several new opportunities, but it also comes with significant risks.

This special issue of IT Professional seeks to examine the digital
innovation and strategic transformation that is driving industry,
government, and society. It will showcase innovative smart services, digital
products, and platforms; discuss current issues, challenges, and practices;
and look to future prospects. We seek high-quality articles focused on these
areas from industry, business, academia, and government. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to the following: 

*	Digital business models
*	Digital innovation as a service
*	Cognitive business
*	Cultural change and human factors
*	The Internet of Me, Things, and Everything
*	Platform revolution and economics
*	Design for analytics
*	Data velocity
*	Harnessing hyperscale: hardware is back (and never really went away)
*	Emerging social technologies and platforms
*	The next wave of mobility technology
*	Leveraging big data and analytics in innovation
*	Open innovation with IT
*	The role of IT in facilitating value co-creation and co-innovation
*	Customer engagement
*	T-shaped innovators for digital transformation
