Traditional agencies on bridges: How is digital transformation changing business models?

AbstractDigital technologies produce new strategic and organizational challenges for incumbent firms that require major digital transformation (DT) processes, leading to the evolution of business models (BMs). Contributing to the research stream on DT and BM evolution, this study explores which technologies have the most relevant effect on core BM dimensions, i.e., value proposition, value creation, and value capture, by investigating both the consequent themes and intensities of change in these dimensions. A valuable context for analysis was chosen: the advertising industry and traditional communication agencies, namely, creative and media agencies. Based on 38 in-depth interviews with senior communication professionals and qualitative content analysis, we propose a comprehensive reading of (1) the impact of specific technologies on different BM dimensions and components and (2) the themes and intensities of change in creative and media agencies’ BM dimensions. Finally, we outline an interpretative framework, identifying two different paths for incumbents: outside-in BM adaptation and inside-out BM innovation. This study therefore offers two academic contributions. First, it overcomes the vagueness of previous investigations that considered the effects of digital technologies in general terms, and it also resolves the narrow scope of research that focused only on the impact of one specific technology. Second, by deepening the understanding of the joint evolutions and intensities of change across all three BM dimensions, this study has widened the limited scope of previous contributions on one BM dimension. By doing so, it offers a comprehensive reading of BM dynamics due to DT.

Three measures of internet use, social media use and video game playing as predictors of insomnia during the pandemic among students

Existing research indicates that the relationship between digital technology use and insomnia can largely depend on which digital technology measure and which insomnia measure is considered. Data on 4261 Slovenian tertiary students was gathered through an online survey in February 2021, which included measures of depression and insomnia symptoms, as well as measures of internet, social media and video game use divided into three measurement levels (use, duration of use, addictive use). Regression analysis revealed an apparent effect of measurement level, where addictive use measures consistently outperformed other technology use measures in predicting insomnia. Regardless of measurement level, social media use seems to produce more risk for insomnia, compared to playing video games or general internet use for leisure purposes. Importantly, a single measure of depression symptoms explained more variance in insomnia than the nine measures of digital technology use combined, meaning that the effect of digital technology on sleep should not be overstated. Most of the effect of social media use on insomnia may in fact be explained by understanding users' depression symptoms. In case of gaming, a larger part of its effect on insomnia is independent of depression symptoms.

The Time House: between cybernetics and phenomenology

Martin Pawley’s ‘The Time House’ (1968) is a study on how to use multimedia technologies to provide a continuous record of individual experience within the domestic interior. The project’s underlying argument is that there is no authentic experience to be had in the public realm. As an antidote, Pawley proposes a retreat into a private world, where individuals, with the use of technology, can retain a continuous and repayable record of time. Thus, The Time House would enable its inhabitants to relive – phenomenologically, with all the senses – past experiences. Pawley believed that this repeated, unembellished re-creation of the past would reveal to its inhabitants a truer version of both the past and themselves, thus offering opportunities for introspection and self-knowledge. The Time House tries to bring together all the key concerns of architecture in the late 1960s: cybernetics, phenomenology, environmental behaviour studies, the use of cutting-edge technology, Cold War politics and fears, and the countercultural aim to expand human consciousness. Yet, Pawley’s proposition to use technology to simulate lived experiences with the aim of altering human behaviour still stimulates heated arguments today. These arguments stem from current fears about the effects of digital technologies on individuals and society: the disconnection with the here-and-now, the prioritisation of the individual over the collective, the disintegration of reality and the neglect of social public space. The Time House, which could be dismissed as a project of its time and place, is embedded in a web of ideas still resonant in our present.

Corporate digital transformation, governance shifts and executive pay-performance sensitivity

We utilized text mining techniques to gauge a company's level of digital transformation and found that the higher the degree of digitalization, the more apparent the decoupling of executive compensation from performance, indicating lower sensitivity of executive pay to performance outcomes. Within the framework of agency theory, digital technology empowers shifts in corporate governance models, enabling process-based behavioral monitoring and constraining governance mechanisms, thereby reducing reliance on outcome-based incentive mechanisms. Heterogeneous analysis reveals that the substitutive effect of digitization on the pay-performance sensitivity is more pronounced in companies with lower executive ownership. These companies often rely more on compensation incentives in the absence of digital technology. Moreover, the effectiveness of digital technology in enhancing governance depends on the user's wealth of knowledge and technical proficiency. We additionally confirmed that digital transformation has a positive impact on mitigating agency problems, as it enhances information quality, improves internal control standards, reduces excessive perk, and diminishes managerial short-termism. In essence, digital transformation indeed elevates governance regime. Furthermore, we discovered that digitalization increases the association between compensation and executive effort. Our research findings provide a fresh perspective on corporate governance and executive incentive mechanisms in emerging markets.

Rethinking perception and cognition in the digital environment

Undoubtedly, the future of humanity is digital. As we transition into this new technological era, we are confronted with many uncertainties. The digital environment, a relatively recent phenomenon, differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from other natural and social environments. Its ubiquity and rapid evolution, along with the ease of automating and replicating digital code, set the stage for significant impacts on human cognition and perception. This article conceptually explores the general characteristics of the digital environment, highlights its significance and relevance to cognitive science, summarizes a range of recent findings on the effects of digital technology on our cognitive and perceptual processes, and concludes with several hypotheses about the evolution of our minds in the digital future.

Exploring the effects of digital technology on deep learning: a meta-analysis

AbstractThe impact of digital technology on learning outcomes, specifically deep learning, has been a subject of considerable debate and scrutiny in educational settings. This study aims to provide clarity by conducting a meta-analysis of empirical publications that examine students' deep learning outcomes in relation to digital technology. A comprehensive search of databases and a thorough literature review yielded 60 high-quality, peer-reviewed journal articles that met the inclusion criteria. Using Review Manager 5.4.1 software, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the overall effectiveness of digital technology. The calculated effect size indicates a positive influence of digital technology on students' deep learning outcomes. Furthermore, a moderator variable analysis revealed several significant findings: 1. Different categories of digital technology tools have a favorable impact on deep learning outcomes; 2. The duration of digital technology treatment does not significantly affect deep learning outcomes; 3. Digital technology demonstrates a highly positive influence on deep learning within the humanities and social sciences disciplines; 4. Combining online and offline utilization of digital technology in education leads to a substantially greater enhancement in deep learning compared to relying solely on online methods; 5. The effectiveness of digital technology on deep learning is enhanced when accompanied by appropriate instructional guidance; 6. Utilizing digital technology in a systematic manner produces different outcomes compared to fragmented approaches, highlighting the importance of a cohesive implementation; 7. Integrating digital technology with collaborative learning has a more pronounced effect on deep learning compared to independent learning. These findings contribute to our understanding of the impact of digital technology on deep learning outcomes and underscore the importance of thoughtful integration and instructional support in educational contexts.

Transitioning additive manufacturing from rapid prototyping to high‐volume production: A case study of complex final products

AbstractThis paper seeks answers to the question: what are the key factors that enable the scaling of additive manufacturing (AM) from rapid prototyping to high‐volume production? Using a longitudinal case study, we collected primary and secondary data to trace the AM scaling journey of AeroCo, a highly innovative aerospace firm. Based on the case findings, we position AM as a whole system technology because it can print components for a wide range of subsystems in a complex final product. Scaling AM requires a significant realignment of existing, and often deeply entrenched, new technology, and product development processes. To achieve this alignment, AeroCo formed institutional alliances with the UK government and universities to establish university technology centers, which facilitated early stage ideation and “catapult” centers, which enabled high‐volume testing in factory‐like facilities. The case reveals how multiple functions needed to integrate, including research and development, product design, and future programs, to ensure that design changes cascaded from one subsystem to another, and that new technologies were linked to a future product to create a final product pull. These findings inform a managerial framework for additive manufacturing scaling that is generalizable to other digital technologies used in the design and production of complex final products, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, smart factories, and cyber physical production systems. Our framework contributes to innovation thought and practice by explaining how new product development processes and organizational structures change under the effect of digital technologies.

The Happiness in a Digital World – The Associations of Health, Family Life, and Digitalization Perceived Challenges - Path Model for Abu Dhabi

The digital revolution influenced all levels and spheres of human social activities covering personal communications and relationships, health and mental health, and hours spent online. However, the widespread implementation and effects of digital technologies amongst all segments of society have not been understandable. The effects touch all aspects of life, be it personal, social, or economic, touching people's happiness positively or negatively. This research is the first attempt in Abu Dhabi to look at the impact of digital transformation and the associations of other aspects of people's life. The objective of this study is to propose a path model for better understanding the degree of association of related behaviors related to digital transformation and people's happiness. An extensive literature search identified several related wellbeing dimensions for this study. We used the Abu Dhabi Quality of Life data for this purpose. Pre-analysis included correlation analysis, simple and multiple regression, factor analysis, and reliability analysis to test the appropriate variables. The final path model portrays the functional relationship between significant factors, with happiness being the ultimate variable. The dimensions of influence covered satisfaction with family life, subjective health, mental and related feelings, number of hours online, the perception of the positive impact of digitalization on society, and the perceived negative influence of digitization. Using LISREL, we designed and analyzed a reflective path model that produced significant fit statistics. Results show that we should not ignore the significant positive association between the digital resources/means in society and our happiness or health. However, results also point to the perception of the negative impact of digital transformation on how we feel and behave daily. The hours we spend online also add to our negative daily feelings. The nature of our satisfaction with our family life seems to influence our negative mixed feelings about digital practices and habits. The strong association between our overall happiness and subjective health produced the most significant association. Limitations and policy implications are discussed.

Upravljanje revolucijom prekvalifikacija za digitalno doba - studija slučaja - zemlje Zapadnog Balkana

Technological changes, the COVID-19 pandemic, the green transition, geopolitical changes, and risks have all complexified the working and business environment on the global market. Employee knowledge and skills become the companies' key support, as the present circumstances compel them to react quickly and adapt to new business challenges. Education, training, and employee skills improvement aligned with new technological waves and changed work procedures are becoming prominent aspects of modern business. The analysis carried out in this paper has covered just some of the factors affecting the changes in employee skills, such as the effects of digital technologies on work performance, the problem of youth education and employment, the necessity of improving the existing workforce competencies as well as their reskilling and upskilling in the context of lifelong education. The research conducted had two goals. A comparative analysis of the implementation of supplementary adult and employee education in selected countries of the Western Balkans. The second goal was focused on the domestic labor market in order to show that local companies have a developed awareness of the need to innovate knowledge and skills, whereas it also drew attention to the specifics of that process with a distinctive focus on digital and green skills as skills necessary for modern business operations. The research results have shown that Serbian companies have become aware of the importance of a workforce that cultivates digital skills and possesses knowledge in the field of ICT. The analysis has shown a lack of awareness when it comes to personal employee upskilling, although most of the companies that participated in the research emphasize training programs and upskilling as something that is being continuously worked on.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND PARENTAL SUPPORT IN PRE-SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

This paper presents a study focusing on parental support in pre-school use of digital technology. The context of the study was home-based English language learning. The aim is to contribute to the understanding of the eff ect of digital technology on English education and family life. The study specifi cally investigated the scope of the indirect parental support during digital technology use to determine whether pre-school children used digital technology such as tablets and smartphones to learn English independently. The study also aimed to determine parents’ attitudes towards the increasing digital technology use by their children. Six parents from Pozega, Pozesko-Slavonska County fi lled in questionnaires and were interviewed regarding the indirect role in supporting their children’s use of smartphones and tablets to learn English. According to previous studies, parents generally considered their support non-existent, however, the fi ndings of these studies indicated that parents provided indirect instructions to their children on how to use digital devices. Present study findings point to significantly less parental support and reinforce the contrary argument - that pre-school children use digital devices and learn English independently.

Formation of the company's digital strategy

Today's realities of comprehensive digital development of society require companies to reorient their activities digitally. Most of them have already partially or fully implemented elements of digitization in their practice, but for the comprehensive immersion of business in the world of numbers, the formation of an effective digital strategy is necessary, which makes this issue of research extremely relevant. The article examines the peculiarities of the formation and influence of the digital strategy on the company's activities. The main stages of implementation through research stages are outlined, a comprehensive assessment of competitors' activities is carried out, industry leaders are determined, company brands and main customer attraction channels are analyzed, offline representative offices and prices for the key range of products are considered; then an offer (trade offer to the target audience) is formed, the company integrates the results of end-to-end analytics of the segment leaders into the functionality of its digital platform; then through sales (the principle of distribution of potential customers according to the stages of the entire process from the first contact to the sale of a product or service) the attraction of buyers is carried out; at the fourth stage, budgeting is carried out, that is, key resources for further growth are determined; the final stage involves conducting analytics and drawing conclusions, deploying a digital strategy through the collection of general analytical data. The main advantages and disadvantages of the company's digital strategy are highlighted. The peculiarities of the application of the digital strategy and its results for the company are analyzed. Key performance indicators (KPI) for all digital promotion channels are determined. This step is necessary primarily to adjust financial costs, inefficient tools are automatically rejected. This evaluation system ensures growth through the achievement of the necessary numerical indicators. The criteria depend on situational factors, which can reduce the accuracy of the forecast. The predicted indicators are close to the real ones, as they take into account the risks that are possible in the process of digital promotion.

Mythos and Postdigital Theology: Beyond the Limits of Digitalization

The effect of digital technologies on religion generally and Christian theology more particular is a topic attracting increasing interest. This article argues that the role of theology is to provide a counter to the tendencies of digitization. Digitization is understood as the division of knowledge into discrete units and valuing this division over models of knowledge that seek to connect and integrate human experiences. The article argues for the need for a postdigital theology that seeks to encounter transcendence in the spaces where human experience exceeds the limits of digitization. Methodologically, the article draws on the interdisciplinary field of postdigital theory. It finds that theology is a work of defracturing or reconnecting forms of human knowledge in weaving together a coherent narrative of human experience that provides hope for relationality in the midst of the destructive tendencies at play in the world. Such defracturing opens a space for an encounter with transcendence, understood in a broad sense that includes encountering the vastness of existence as well as the realm of potentiality from whence liberative hope is fostered. The openness to transcendence that comes from exceeding digitization allows for a theological interpretation of an encounter with the divine within that transcendence. The article then lays a potential framework for such a theological endeavor. This methodological framework is an approach to overcoming the divide between logos and mythos, holding scientific and artistic approaches as equally valid contributions to understanding reality in the production of a religious or theological narrative.
