[AISWorld] Springer book "Digitalization Cases" with 21 real-world cases on digitalization published

[Nils Urbach]

Dear colleagues,

 

We are happy to announce that our editorial book “Digitalization Cases: How
Organizations Rethink Their Business for the Digital Age” has been released
and is available now: https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783319952727 and
http://www.digitalization-cases.net/.

 

The book presents a rich compilation of real-world cases on digitalization,
aiming to share first-hand insights from renowned organizations and to make
digitalization tangible. With all economic and societal sectors being
challenged by emerging technologies, the digital economy is highly volatile,
uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. It confronts established organizations
with substantial challenges and opportunities. Against this backdrop, the
book reports on best practices and lessons learned from organizations that
succeeded in tackling the challenges and seizing the opportunities of the
digital economy.

 

The book illustrates how twenty-one organizations leveraged their
capabilities to create disruptive innovation, to develop digital business
models, and to digitally transform themselves. These cases stem from various
industries (e.g. automotive, insurance, consulting, and public services) and
countries, covering the many facets that digitalization may have. As all
case descriptions follow a unified schema, they are easily accessible for
readers and provide insightful examples for practitioners as well as
interesting cases for researchers, teachers, and students.

 

“Digitalization Cases” is the result of great community effort. Next to the
authors who provided the case studies for this book, we particularly want to
thank Frederik Ahlemann, Rainer Alt, Alexander Benlian, Daniel Beverungen,
Arne Buchwald, Andreas Drechsler, Paul Drews, Katharina Ebner, Henner
Gimpel, Thomas Hess, Karlheinz Kautz, Marek Kowalkiewicz, Johann Kranz,
Dennis Kundisch, Christine Legner, Alexander Mädche, Attila Marton,
Christian Matt, Oliver Mueller, Joseph Nehme, Michael Rosemann, Sandra
Sieber, Stefan Smolnik, Stijn Viaene, Martin Wallin, Martin Wiener, Till
Winkler, and Xiao Xiao who served on the editorial board and who dedicated
much time and effort in providing reviews to further develop the cases
presented in this book.

 

We hope you will enjoy reading the book and working with the cases, and we
invite you to contact us for questions, feedback, and discussions.

 

Kind regards,

 

Nils Urbach & Maximilian Röglinger
