Technology-Driven Transformation The Future of Work and Organizations

Technology is a transformative force that redefines how organizations operate and shapes the modern workplace. This book examines the wide-ranging impacts of digital transformation, emerging technologies, and data-driven decision-making on both individuals and organizations, offering insights into topics such as business analytics, digital maturity, and the adoption of innovations like AI and blockchain. It explores how organizations can harness real-time data, measure key performance indicators, and adopt processes based on new technologies. The book also investigates critical issues such as knowledge retention, workplace diversity, algorithmic transparency, and the unintended consequences of technological advances on employee well-being and workplace dynamics in hybrid and AI-driven environments. By integrating interdisciplinary frameworks, empirical research, and case studies, this book provides a comprehensive resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complexities of digital transformation. Based on revised versions of top double-blind peer-reviewed papers from the annual Italian Chapter of the Association for Information Systems conference, held in Piacenza, Italy, in October 2024, it offers valuable guidance for embracing technology-driven change.
