Call for Chapters: Research Handbook on Digital Transformation and Responsibility

Noel Carroll, University of Galway

I am delighted to extend an invitation to you to contribute chapters to my upcoming book, titled ‘Research Handbook on Digital Transformation and Responsibility’ (Edward Elgar Publishing).

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, the intersection of technology and responsibility is more crucial than ever. This Research Handbook on Digital Transformation and Responsibility aims to further explore this by providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of the ethical, social, and legal implications of digital transformation. This book aims to bring together cutting-edge research from leading academics and practitioners, offering valuable insights and practical guidance for navigating the growing challenges in the digital age. This handbook aims to bridge this gap by providing a nuanced understanding of the responsibilities that arise with the rapid adoption of digital technologies and futureproofing strategic digital initiatives across various sectors. This Research Handbook on Digital Transformation and Responsibility will not only identify the ethical challenges but will also propose frameworks and strategies for responsible digital transformation.

Digital transformation has become a pervasive force across industries, reshaping business models, societal structures, and individual experiences. As transformations unfold, it brings about a multitude of ethical, social, and economic considerations that are not adequately addressed in existing literature and resources.
