INTRODUCTION:

In competitive business environments, digital strategies and organizational transformation go hand in hand. That is, for organizations having a robust digital strategy to benefit from the advancements of emerging digital technologies and simultaneously making necessary transformations have become vital for their survivals.  According to MIT Sloan's Center for Information Systems Research (CISR), "In this period of digital disruption, businesses focused narrowly on value chains are at a disadvantage. Next-generation enterprises need to think more broadly about their business ecosystems, leverage digitization to understand their customers better, and establish options for future success. Drawing on cutting-edge research, this course engages participants in a framework for seizing on all the above". Therefore, competitive businesses have started using varieties of digital tools such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Block-chains, and other digital applications to make required changes to organizational models, and cultures to better serve their customers in efficient and effective manners.
