Abstract
AbstractSustainable digital transformation is a global process at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), who need to monitor the factors that measure their smart campus initiatives. The purpose of this chapter is to report on an analysis of factors for Smart Campus data initiatives that contribute to sustainable transformation. The chapter therefore addresses the research question: “What success factors can be used by Smart Campuses to guide and measure data initiatives for sustainable digital transformation?” A case study approach was used and the case was one of the comprehensive universities in South Africa. The primary data collection method was through interviews, which were conducted online with key stakeholders of a Smart Campus. Convenience and purposive sampling were adopted, with a deductive research approach. The Qualitative Content Analysis process was followed to analyze the data obtained through interviews on the topic of Smart Campus data initiatives. From the interview data the factors related to the digital activities, their purpose, related data sources, and the value of such activities and data were identified. The contribution is the set of factors that can be used by stakeholders of Smart Campuses for planning or measuring sustainable transformation while addressing digital research and education. This chapter proposes that stakeholders should capitalize on the accelerated digital age caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to assist with sustainable transformation at universities.KeywordsDigital transformationResearch and educationSustainabilityHigher educationSmart campus
