A Research on Digital Transformation: Integration Framework and Prospects

Digital transformation is a process that starts from the infrastructure of digital technology, digital products and digital platform, and then leads to changes in individual, organizational, industrial and other levels. With the development of artificial intelligence, big data, 5G and other emerging technologies, digital transformation is impacting and subverting the existing technology path and organization mode. The Report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also proposes to promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, accelerate the construction of digital-driven new industrial ecology, and urge all subjects to continuously explore the transformation mode. This phenomenon has aroused widespread concern in the academic and practical circle. The existing research mostly focuses on the formulation of digital transformation strategy, the relationship between digital technology and organizational performance, management adaptability and the change of business model. However, the impact and value of digital transformation have not been systematically integrated and summarized. Besides, it is still a problem for enterprises to deal with the challenges in digital transformation in order to obtain new competitive advantages while the existing theory cannot give systematic guidance. In view of this, this paper picks out 101 existing literatures from databases like Web of Science, Science Direct and CNKI. Then, the definition of digital transformation by scholars at present is summarized from two dimensions of technical support and organizational change. The existing research content of how to measure the completion of the transformation in a quantitative way is also summarized. On this foundation, the definition in this paper is put forward. This paper explains how the infrastructure including digital technology, digital products and digital platform can be used as the starting point to support and promote the transformation. In addition, it explores the introduction cost, subversion and upgrading of technology, the availability of products and how to provide innovative services, the multi-party interaction, information integration and business scope of the platform, etc. Moreover, this paper explores the multi-level changes in the process of transformation from three levels: individual level, organizational level and industrial level. The individual level mostly discusses the change of senior executives’ role, job creation and job destruction. The organizational level mostly studies the impact on organizational structure, ability and strategy. The industrial level mostly summarizes the change of business model and value chain. It summarizes the positive and negative effects of digital transformation. On the one hand, the transformation promotes the production efficiency and organizational performance. On the other hand, it poses a threat to privacy security and employee employment. In the next part, this paper puts forward the future research direction of digital transformation and the problems that should be paid attention to in the context of digital transformation in China. Firstly, scholars should explore the problems of technology, resources, platform construction in the starting point of transformation. Secondly, more research on the driving mechanism, dynamic development mechanism and resource integration ability in the process are also needed. Thirdly, how to deal with the threats and challenges brought by digital transformation is still not a fully-solved problem. With the unique context in China, more attention should be paid to the following research topics: the technological catch-up path of manufacturing enterprise as a latecomer, how the government, enterprises and society can develop harmoniously under the situation of digital industrialization and industrial digitization, the construction and mechanism of ecosystem as well as the solutions for Chinese enterprises to face the unique challenges. Finally, in the conclusion part, the integration framework of digital transformation theory is summarized from the three aspects of the starting point, process and result. This not only helps to systematically sort out the knowledge context of digital transformation, grasp the development trend of theoretical frontier, promote the in-depth development of research in this field, but also can effectively combine theory and practice, and provide reference for Chinese enterprises to formulate and implement effective digital transformation strategy.

Quantifying Patient Engagement in Total Joint Arthroplasty Using Digital Application-Based Technology

BackgroundDigital patient engagement has been suggested as a mean to increase patient activation and patient satisfaction after total joint arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to assess patient engagement with application-based educational tools and to explore what content was most useful to patients in the perioperative period surrounding total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), respectively. MethodsPatients undergoing THA and TKA between October 2017 and January 2020 were enrolled to use an application-based digital technology. The App provides comprehensive patient education using a series of modules delivered at set intervals preoperatively and postoperatively. Patient engagement was defined as patients viewing at least one time the modules that were sent, or marking them as completed. Patient satisfaction was assessed using an in-application survey. ResultsComplete data were available on 207 patients of which 95 (46%) underwent THA and 112 (54%) underwent TKA. The average age was 60 years. 54% with patients invited to the program completed registration. An average compliance rate of 48% (41 modules engaged out of 83) was observed. Of all modules completed, the top three most popular categories included physical therapy/exercise videos, health literacy, and anxiety/stress/pain management. The least viewed category was nutrition planning and education. ConclusionWhen presented educational material related to THA and TKA, patients had a high rate of compliance. Digital technology platforms provide a scalable, meaningful approach to engaging patients throughout the continuum of joint replacement care and may serve as a cost-effective adjunct to traditional methods.

Dedicated components allow enterprises to access the necessary information and analytical tools in real time. Among the necessary components, the article proposes a mechanism for involving machine-building enterprises in cooperative chains, reflecting the order of the integration interaction of regional programs and tools for supporting export-oriented manufacturers of machine-building products with international programs to support manufacturers.

Using Padlet in instructional design to promote cognitive engagement: a case study of undergraduate marketing students

This case study illustrates the incorporation of Padlet to support a learning task designed to promote student engagement. Padlet was introduced as a digital technology platform in an undergraduate marketing class for an assessment where the stakes are considered low, that is, a formative assessment. The previous cohort had declared it difficult to engage with the original assessment, which took the form of a 1000-word written piece. To facilitate interest and motivation in the task, Padlet was introduced with the assumption that students would engage more with a task if a technology-based instructional design was implemented. This case study examines the use of Padlet to provide a platform for literacy beyond the written text, aimed to increase effort and cognitive engagement. Self-reported results indicate that students find a task supported by the use of Padlet deeply cognitively engaging. Padlet, as illustrated in this case study, could be used in either an in-person or online learning environment.

The Use of Digital Technology Platforms in the Context of Cybersecurity in the Industrial Sector

Abstract This study discusses the use of digital technology platforms (DTPs) in the context of cyber-security in the industrial sector, with a focus on digital industry (industrial) platforms (DIPs). A definition of DTPs is presented, including the author's interpretation, as well as the scope of DTP application in the industrial sector, which includes, in particular, European Digital Platforms (EDPs) and Polish Digital Platforms (PDPs), such as non-ferrous metals PDP or intelligent transport systems PDP. This is followed by a section covering the theoretical basis of the study that highlights the key challenges and risks associated with the use of DTPs as well as the methods for their neutralization in the form of specific concepts and systems that can be employed in the industrial sector. The subsequent section of the study is based on results of the author's own survey which collected information from a total of 120 companies operating in Poland, which were granted subsidies under the Operational Program Innovative Economy for investments involving the implementation and development of DTPs. The survey was carried out using a questionnaire developed by the author, which consisted of 23 questions. In this respect, as shown by the author's own studies, of greatest relevance are hardware failures and Internet outage events. Most importantly, concerns about such risks are some of the major factors underlying the negative attitudes of management staff of industrial companies toward DTPs, and therefore, it is so important to ensure that any such risks can be effectively addressed. They can be avoided through the use of certain concepts and systems such as STOE or CVSS. A typical company may know the model of DTPs in the context of challenges in the field of cybersecurity through this study; in particular, it can improve IT security.

Оцінка інноваційної діяльності за напрямами трансферу технологій підприємствами України

The article aims at clarifying the classification features of the forms and directions of technology transfer, and analyzing empirical data on technology transfer operations in Ukraine. The effectiveness, efficiency and immediacy of technology transfer depend on the choice of its rational forms and directions of technology transfer. The combined form of transfer is considered to be most promising, as it encompasses the advantages of both the vertical and horizontal transfer forms based on the open innovation business model. Ukraine has prerequisites for the implementation of this form of technology transfer, but it is necessary to increase the innovative activity of industrial enterprises and research organizations, and to increase funding for innovation. In the future the authors plan to suggest an organizational and economic mechanism to increase innovation activity at the enterprise level. In 2007-2019 research and development at industrial enterprises (R&D) accounted for about 15% in the total cost of innovation, in average. The lowest share of R&D in total expenditures on innovation was observed in 2011 (7.5%), and the highest share was observed in 2018, comprising 26.3%. The share of costs for vertical transfer is 69.6-89.5%, which is much higher than that for horizontal transfer, which is 10.5-30.4%. The main reason for the decrease in the level of technology transfer at Ukrainian enterprises is the limited funding from the state and the negative investment climate in the country. The share of non-commercial transfers has been lower than 1% since 2012. Combined transfer based on digital technology platforms is virtually absent.

Evaluation of Teacher Professional Development Program—A Developmental Evaluation Approach

The professional development of teachers is the main mechanism for improving classroom teaching and improving students’ learning outcomes. To have secondary school teachers improve their teaching by using the new teaching approach of project-based learning, this study engaged teachers to participate in Teachers’ Project-Based Learning Program (T-PjBLP) to learn new knowledge, pedagogy, and skills. During the program implementation, the study applied a developmental evaluation (DE) approach to evaluate teachers’ professional development and to assist them to develop an initiative program for students. In the DE approach, the role of the researcher was as a team member, shaped the course of development to help participants learn, and tracked the professional development process and results through a digital technology platform. The participants in this study consisted of 7 science teachers coming from two secondary schools. The major findings indicated that more than 95% of participants agreed that digital technology was a wonderful platform to provide them with an opportunity to share ideas, feedback, and experiences about what they learned from the program. Also, most of them provided positive feedback about their learning. To conclude, the program effectively changed teachers teaching beliefs from the teacher-centered approach to the learner-centered approach and used what they learned from the program to develop an initiative program for students. However, some limitations encountered in applying the DE approach to evaluate the program also were discussed in this study.

Pilot Trial of the My Hematology Oncology Patient Experience (MyHOPE™) for Multiple Myeloma (MM) Digital Solution in Patients with MM

Background: There is growing evidence to suggest that continuous monitoring and a proper use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in the clinical setting may improve patient care by facilitating doctor-patient communication, promoting individualized supportive care, and increasing patient satisfaction (Velikova, J Clin Oncol. 2004;22(4):714-24; Yang, Support Care Cancer. 2018 Jan;26(1):41-60). This may be of particular importance for patients with MM, a condition characterized by considerable heterogeneity in PROs at different timepoints within a patient's disease journey (TA King et al, Semin Oncol Nurs. 2017;33(3):299-315;R Abonour et al, Ann Hematol. 2018;97(12):2425-36). There is also a growing body of evidence to support that digital platforms in healthcare can have an impact on patients' lives and improve the patient care experience across diverse medical settings. Web-based platforms that provide education and allow patients to track data have demonstrated improvement across a range of PROs measuring empowerment, self-efficacy, and mastery when compared against standard of care in a variety of disease states (MR Fu et al, Internet Interv. 2016;5:56-64; G Bouma et al, Support Care Cancer. 2017;25(7):2075-2083). This may be particularly relevant in light of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. Patient-reported outcome data (e.g., symptoms) that can be readily shared with healthcare professionals (HCPs) can support clinical decision making and impact patient outcomes (E Basch et al, JAMA. 2017 Jul 11;318(2):197-8). Data collected through wearables (such as emoji scales and activity) have been shown to be correlated with traditional, validated PRO measures in patients with cancer (CA Thompson et al, Blood. 2017;130(Suppl 1):2179). Digital medication tracking has led to better medication adherence, increased prescription refills, and better clinical outcomes. Centralized disease management digital platforms have shown potential to reduce patients' risk of complications (S Kumar et al, Abstract for the 77th American Diabetes Association. 2017). Despite this body of evidence supporting the potential impact of the use of digital platforms, there is little evidence specifically in MM. The MyHOPE™ for MM Solution is a validated investigational digital technology platform designed to provide patients with a comprehensive set of tools and resources to support the patient throughout their overall experience with MM and to collect biometrics and self-reported data such as symptom tracking, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with the ability to share this data with the patient's care team. MyHOPE™ for MM is the first prospective study evaluating the impact of a digital intervention for patients with hematological malignancies. Study Design and Methods: This is a multi-center, randomized, pilot trial of the MyHOPE™ for MM Solution. Approximately 126 adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) with a diagnosis of MM and who reside in the USA will be recruited from approximately 30 study sites within the USA, reflecting both community and academic centers. Patients will be stratified according to disease status (newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma transplant-eligible or ineligible, newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients undergoing their first autologous stem cell transplant, or relapsed and/or refractory) and will be randomized in a 2:1 manner to either the Patient App + HCP Portal (Cohort 1) or Patient App Alone (Cohort 2). Primary objectives include feasibility of the platform and patient empowerment and self-efficacy. Other objectives include user satisfaction with the platform, health-related quality of life, and clinical outcomes. Enrolled patients will receive MM-treament regimen according to their physician's care plan. The study is in start-up and recruitment is expected through 2021. Disclosures Raje: Celgene: Consultancy.

A digital twin-driven production management system for production workshop

With the rapid development of smart manufacturing, some challenges are emerging in the production management, including the utilization of information technology and the elimination of dynamic disturbance. A digital twin-driven production management system (DTPMS) can dynamically simulate and optimize production processes in manufacturing and achieve real-time synchronization, high fidelity, and real-virtual fusion in cyber-physical production. This paper focuses on establishing DTPMS for production life-cycle management. First, we illustrate how to integrate digital twin technology and simulation platforms. Second, a framework of DTPMS is proposed to support a cyber-physical system of production workshop, including product design, product manufacturing, and intelligent service management. Finally, the proposed DTPMS is applied to the production process of a heavy-duty vehicle gearbox. The experimental results indicate that the defective rate of products and the in-process inventory are reduced by 34% and 89%, respectively, while the one-time pass rate of product inspection is increased by 14.2%, which demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the DTPMS.

Plug-and-play, mix-and-match: a capital systems theory of digital technology platforms

Digital technology platforms have transformed the modern economy, disrupting existing industries and creating new ones. In this paper I synthesize Austrian capital theory with general systems theory to analyze why these digital platforms have had such a large and relatively rapid impact. In large part this impact arises from certain architectural features of digital technologies and networks, particularly modularity, which enables digital platforms to change their scale of operations and be adaptable to unknown and changing conditions. Modularity reduces the costs of combining and reconfiguring combinations of individual elements in networks. Austrian capital theory’s focus on the combination of specific capital elements in production thus provides a valuable lens through which to analyze digital technology platforms and the economic reasons for their large and rapid development.

Application Research of Process Design Analysis based on Digital Technology

With the improvement of people’s aesthetic concept, simple bamboo-rattan knitting technology has been unable to meet the people’s design requirements for fur fabric, people hope that fur products have a sense of fashion, artistry and personalized characteristics. We study the development of bamboo-rattan knitting technology, adopting survey method, literature analysis method for data collection, mining the design methods of bamboo-rattan knitting technology in the field of packaging design. From the perspective of bamboo-rattan packaging, we analyze several common methods, but the designing efficiency is low, and the designing accuracy is not high. In order to further improve efficiency of designing, we introduce the digital technology, which can provide an interactive platform for designers, control the whole design process, monitor the production of design schemes and the effect of design schemes, and this technology can achieve standardized production, improve design accuracy, and adopt CAD, Photoshop and 3Dmax, which can be taken as digital technology platform to realize the simulation analysis of bamboo-rattan packaging design. We take digitalization technology as the main method, and integrate with the existing bamboo-rattan packaging methods, put forward the design process of bamboo-rattan fur knitting technology packaging based on digitalization technology, design the bamboo-rattan fur knitting packaging, therefore, get the design effect of bamboo-rattan packaging based on digitalization technology, and confirm that this method can improve the design efficiency of bamboo-rattan knitting products, but also meet the needs of people for bamboo-rattan fur knitting products.

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ УСТОЙЧИВОСТИ БУРИЛЬНЫХ КОЛОНН НА СТАДИИ ПРОЕКТИРОВАНИЯ – ГАРАНТИЯ НАДЕЖНОСТИ ИХ РАБОТЫ

In the address of the Head of state Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the people of Kazakhstan, announced on September 1, 2020, a number of tasks related to improving the productivity of industrial production, including the oil industry, with the broad introduction of modern IT technologies. This is evidenced by the instruction of the President sent in his Message to the Western regions of the country on issues of investment attraction for construction in the future, petrochemical complexes and creating new production runs of high value added [1]. This requires in the near future expand the set of activities for finding and developing new oil and gas fields, and in line with this, a substantial increase in drilling operations, the introduction of effective methods of deep drilling. In this regard, it is very important to ensure the reliability of drilling systems (DS) at the design stage. This, in turn, allows you to solve several tasks simultaneously: based on the use of modeling methods and digital technologies, predict the performance and working properties of DS elements in advance, before they are created, and thereby significantly reduce the risks of large capital expenditures, human and time resources, which would have acquired an irreversible process already at the stage of operation; create digital technology platforms that can become the driving force of the digital ecosystem of the industry [1], in our case, drilling and exploitation of oil and gas fields, thus complementing the electronic database with information about problem situations and effective methods of their solution (elimination). In this paper, which is a continuation of the results of the authors ' research published in [2], we consider special cases of modeling the stability and vibration of drill strings (DStr) taking into account the geometric nonlinearity of deformation. Such cases are buckling often occur with increasing depth of drilling, i.e., length, DStr, where the system becomes quite like a long stretchedcompressed tubular rods under longitudinal and transverse loads. In order to study (predict) the reliability of DS in such situations, the dynamic stability of a geometrically nonlinear DStr under variable loads is investigated, and a method for applying the finite element method to study the dynamic stability of DStr under geometric nonlinearity of their deformation is proposed. To study these phenomena under DStr loading conditions, the authors of this article consider the dynamic stability of a weighed column, taking into account its physical nonlinearity under compressive loads of time variables. Based on the analysis of the obtained theoretical dependencies, the DStr deflections are compared for both physically linear and nonlinear problems. It is established that taking into account physical nonlinearity leads to an oscillatory process with a limited amplitude, and that the presence of nonlinearity for the selected parameters leads to an oscillatory process of the column. In General, the graphical dependencies that characterize the DStr stability parameters obtained on the basis of mathematical modeling methods demonstrate the ability to predict and control the Parameters of this process at the design stage, which allows us to estimate the most optimal zones (limits, ranges) that ensure the efficiency and reliability of the DS operation by varying their values in advance.

Social Factors in the Digital Government Formation in Russia

Transformation of the e-government into the digital one is analyzed in the context of postmodern socio-economic factors. The stages of implementing accessibility and openness of executive authorities in the framework of administrative reform in the Russian Federation are presented. The weak and strong sides of forming accessibility of authorities in the electronic environment are identified. The risks of the digital divide associated with factors not only of an economic but also of a status nature are identified. Data on the use of digital communication by the population related to the conditions of social and spatial development are presented. The article considers the target directions of the transition to the digital government technology platform and the expected results in the short term. The transition from electronic to digital development of public administration is defined as a path to project management based on the creation of a new material base and the implementation of the principles of sustainable development. The social components of the transition – elimination of social Internet exclusion-are shown.

A Remix Compulsory Licensing Regime for Music Mashups

Spurred by advances in digital technologies, music mash-ups emerged as a defining musical genre in the early twenty-first century, reshaping content industries and the broader culture. Digital technology and file-sharing platforms enabled creators to reach vast audiences without the high share of proceeds demanded by traditional record labels, publishers, and distributors. Creators seeking to earn a living in the creative arts faced new challenges in this environment. The very technologies that liberated them from the shackles of the old intermediaries made it ever more difficult to achieve an adequate return on their investments in training, time, expense, and opportunity cost to produce art. Aggressive copyright enforcement, which was rarely a problem in the pre-internet age, took center stage in the twenty-first century, especially for independent creators. A just, effective, and forward-looking copyright system would channel internet-age creators and consumers into well-functioning digital-content marketplaces. Such a system must come to grips with the reality that a growing segment of the population does not view traditional markets for copyrighted works as the only means to access creative works. To many, participation in markets for copyrighted works is voluntary; it is more about convenience and fairness than compliance with the rule of law. Thus, trends in technology, social dynamics, and moral conscience have eroded copyright protection. Heavy-handed responses by copyright owners — such as mass litigation campaigns threatening outsize statutory damages, efforts to ramp up enforcement tools, and troll litigation — have alienated consumers, judges, and legislators and spurred work-arounds that lead new generations away from authorized digital content marketplaces and copyright-based creative careers. Notwithstanding the decline of the copyright system’s public approval rating, the core social, economic, and moral foundations on which copyright was built have not been rendered obsolete by technological advance. To a large extent, what many creators want and need has remained the same: freedom to create and fair compensation based on the popularity of their art. What many consumers want has also largely remained the same: easy access to creative original art at a fair price. These two forces create the conditions for copyright to provide a critical engine of creative and free expression in the digital age. For the copyright system to remain vital, copyright reform must channel post-Napster creators and consumers into a balanced marketplace, not alienate them. This essay explores why and how to transition the copyright system to the internet age through the lens of music mash-ups, a salient art form that has a particular cultural and social significance.

Digital transformation and innovativeness of enterprises

Purpose – The main objective of the article is an attempt to assess whether and how the digital transformation will affect the innovativeness of companies Research method – In the article, two basic research questions were formulated: 1. Does digital transformation affect the company’s innovation and if so, how? and 2. Can digital transformation change the structure and way of running a business in such a way that innovation can be more closely related to the entrepreneurial attitude of employees? The search for answers to these research questionswas based on the analysis of published research results, collected information on the processes of digitization and examples of companies implementing digital technologies and developing digital business models. The analysis of the impact of digital transformation on the innovativeness of enterprises was carried out taking into account two perspectives: macro – digital institutional transformation of the economy and micro – digital transformation of the enterprise.Results – The thesis that the digital transformation of the company does not guarantee the growth of the company’s innovativeness, but its absence will be a strong barrier to the innovation will be formulated and evaluated in the article. The second thesis assumes that thanks to digital transformation enterprises can be more innovative and their employees more entrepreneurial. Conducted analyses allow for a positive verification of the theses formulated in the article and drawing the following conclusion: if companies want to consider innovations, they should undergo a technological transformation that will allow them to take full advantage of the opportunities that digital technologies offer in business.Originality / value – The article showed that digital technologies and, in particular, digital technology platforms offer the company’s employees the possibility of returning to the original Schumpeterian idea of the entrepreneur as an innovator. In the new digital model of the company based on a digital platform, each employee becomes an entrepreneur and at the same time has the opportunity to create innovation in close cooperation with the end user, and thus be an entrepreneur and an innovator.

ІНФРАСТРУКТУРА ФІНАНСОВОГО РИНКУ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ЦИФРОВОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ

The article is considered with peculiarities of financial market, development of digital economy and infrastructure. Possible trends in the functioning of the financial market under the conditions of digitization of the economy are shown. The conditions for the development of digital technologies in the financial market are outlined, the importance of digital technologies in ensuring the growth of financial market indicators and the important components of their rational use are highlighted. The purpose of the provision. Research the developed version and develop a different market and propose to develop in the production of digital technologies. The article helps to understand where Ukraine needs to move in the field of digitalization. The study used such methods as systematicity, induction, comparison, analysis and statistics. At the present stage of the global economy, more and more attention is being paid to digital technology and e-business. Investment flows are channeled here, and the human and financial resources of the world are accumulated here, so research and development of this field is an important fact. It is argued that the digital economy is changing the way financial markets operate, as well as the information technology requirements used in financial transactions. We have identified the state's top priorities for ensuring the successful implementation of digital assets in the middle of Ukraine's financial market. The fulfillment of the tasks set by the state is of great importance in the implementation of digitalization tools in the financial market. Conclusions were made regarding the further development and realization of the set goals. The trend in the positive direction of the functioning of the financial market in the Ukrainian economy is possible if a wide range of activities and tasks are undertaken, among which the testing of technologies and platforms by financial institutions is more important. The digital economy is compulsory, the new rules are specially protected, and the opportunities that may arise in connection with market entry. Control over the compilation of digital technology platforms to ensure that strategic memorization of anticompetitive behavior is not justified under conditions of complete compromise and possible misuse of data.

Dissolving privacy, one merger at a time: Competition, data and third party tracking

Amid growing concern about the use and abuse of personal data over the last decade, there is an emerging suggestion that regulators may need to turn their attention towards the concentrations of power deriving from large-scale data accumulation. No longer the preserve of data protection or privacy law, personal data is receiving attention within competition and antitrust law. Recent mergers and acquisitions between large digital technology platforms have raised important questions about how these different areas intersect and how they can complement one another in order to protect consumer welfare while ensuring competitive markets.This paper draws attention to one particularly complicated kind of digital data-intensive industry: that of third party tracking, in which a firm does not (only or primarily) collect and process personal data of its own customers or users, but rather data from the users of other ‘first party’ services. Mergers and acquisitions between firms active in the third party tracking industry raise unique challenges for privacy and fundamental rights which are often missed in regulatory decisions and academic discussions of data and market concentration. In this paper, we combine empirical and normative insights to shed light on the role of competition regulators in addressing the specific challenges of mergers and acquisitions in the third party tracking industry. After critically assessing some of the US and EU case law in this area, we argue that a bolder approach is needed; one that engages in a pluralist analysis of economic and noneconomic concerns about concentrations of power and control over data.

Designing the Way Forward: The Role of Design Thinking in the Era of Digital Creativity

Information Age as the successor to the Industrial Age highlights the ubiquitous digital era, in which the technology is creatively shifting how companies are connecting with their customers, learning their latent needs, and meeting them with unique offerings. This creative transformation requires different set of processes and mindset known as design thinking. Different from reliability driven thinking, design thinking prescribes a human-centered innovation process that emphasizes insight, observation, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the users. It transforms businesses and influences their innovation strategies. The goal of this article is to discuss how digital technology platforms are creatively utilized to convert fundamental human needs into profitable demand by adopting design thinking process. To illustrate the effective way of implementing design thinking process, we showcase five digital creativity projects where design thinking philosophy is the main driver. Based on this discussion, we propose further research questions to be examined for future research projects.

Social interactivity as driver and digital technology as vehicle

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the perceptions of the integration of digital technology into a Pre-Registration Nursing degree programme. This process illuminated student perceptions of the impact of the digital technology platform on the context of work-based learning and also potential employability in the future.Design/methodology/approachAdopting design research as an overarching methodological approach for this study enabled application of the phenomena of complex curriculum justification, design and development to an observable context. In its rawest form, this was a pragmatic and relatively a theoretical approach, nevertheless underpinned by robust mixed-methods framework, incorporating anecdote circles. Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase approach to thematic analysis was adopted as a systematic, yet recursive, approach to inductive qualitative analysis.FindingsResults of this pedagogical study were consistent with the stance that technology enhanced learning has a tangible impact on the socio-cognitive learning of students by providing a mechanism for engaging with decision making, problem solving and reflexive praxis. In particular, the Nurse Navigator System was perceived as a mechanism of enhancing the potential for the establishment of communities of practice in which the co-construction of meaningful knowledge about patient care could be established.Research limitations/implicationsThis pedagogical study was context specific to the curriculum model operationalised at the University of Sunderland and as such the perceptions captured are not generalizable but rather provide an insight into student perceptions of the implementation of the digital technology in the context of work-based learning and also the perceived impact on employability that this might have in the future.Practical implicationsPivotal to the success of this, though, is the capacity of clinical and academic staff who can facilitate this sufficiently well in practice and a period of preparation for students so that they can understand the distinction between cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain learning and the places and integration of each across an academic curriculum.Social implicationsThe study revealed the concept of social interactivity for affective domain learning was impacted positively upon by the integration of technology enhanced learning (i.e. the Nurse Navigator System).Originality/valueThis pedagogical research provides a fundamentally unique consideration of the perceived potential impact of a digital technology platform to affective domain learning. Since this is imperative to the tacit knowledge nursing students gain during their education and training for this specific vocational and academic field this is of great value to educationalists in the nursing and allied health fields. The methodological approach adopted also has capacity for transferability to these professions.
