[AISWorld] "Digitalization Cases Vol. 2" with 20 real-world cases on digitalization published

[Urbach, Nils, Prof. Dr.]

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce that our editorial book "Digitalization Cases Vol. 2: Mastering Digital Transformation for Global Business" has been released and is available now: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-80003-1 (free download at SpringerLink).

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, our book reports on best practices and lessons learned from organizations that succeeded in tackling the challenges and seizing the opportunities of the digital economy. It illustrates how twenty 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 template, they are easily accessible for readers and provide insightful examples for practitioners as well as interesting cases for researchers, teachers, and students.
"Digitalization Cases Vol. 2" is the result of great community effort. Next to the authors who provided the case studies for this book, we particularly want to thank Kalle Lyytinen for his inspiring foreword as well as Alan R. Hevner, Alexander Mädche, Amy van Looy, Andreas Drechsler, Anna Maria Oberländer, Arne Buchwald, Barbara Dinter, Christiane Lehrer, Christine Legner, Cynthia Beath, Daniel Beverungen, Dennis Kundisch, Duy Dang-Pham, Gilbert Fridgen, Henry Linger, Jon Beard, Joseph Nehme, Kathy Ning Shen, Lemai Ny, Marco Marabelli, Marek Kowalkiewicz, Martin Weibelzahl, Michael Rosemann, Monica Garfield, Priya Dozier, Rahul De, Rainer Alt, Robert Keller, Robert W.
