The Duality Determinants of Adoption Intention in Digital Transformation Implementation

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of digital transformation (DT) among businesses. DT redefines business models, which significantly changes employees' work practices. If employees lack an appropriate mindset for DT, it can result in DT failure. However, little research has explored the intention of employees to embrace DT. This study proposes a dilemmatic dual-factor research model to examine the factors influencing employees' acceptance of DT, including management support and resistance to change in the outer/explicit aspect and perceived benefits and inertia in the inner/tacit aspect. The study found that the perceived benefits of DT positively impact employees' intention to accept DT, but resistance to change and perceived inertia are significant barriers. Moreover, management support alone is insufficient to encourage employees to accept DT. This study is distinct from prior research, which typically focuses on successfully implementing DT from the firm's perspective. Instead, the study offers valuable insights into promoting employee acceptance of DT.

Digital sobriety: From awareness of the negative impacts of IT usages to degrowth technology at work

The rise of digital technologies has led to growing concern over their environmental impact, prompting the emergence of the phenomenon of digital sobriety. Rooted in the principles of degrowth technology, digital sobriety advocates for reduced technology usage to create a more sustainable society. However, it contrasts with typical frameworks that promote the continued use of IT. Furthermore, it runs counter to the prevailing trend of digital transformation within organisations, which is expected to expand in the future. As a result, it challenges conventional approaches to IT usage and the associated contextual factors. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of digital sobriety, examining its relationship to conventional approaches as well as the degrowth technology perspective. The study explores how digital sobriety is implemented within organisations and how it is perceived by IT users. Thirty-three participants from IT companies were included and the scope and characteristics of the phenomenon of digital sobriety were identified, including five levels of IT user maturity: refutation, inaction, substitution, optimisation, and disadoption/degrowth. The results highlight the need to balance the internal and external factors of digital sobriety and identify different trajectories of digital sobriety as socio-technical imaginaries for the future of IT.

The new trends of digital transformation and artificial intelligence in public administration

Digital transformation and artificial intelligence are major challenges for a diversity of fields. The central and local administrations of the states need major and deep structural changes to reduce bureaucracy and public expenses, but also to significantly improve the quality of services, productivity, accessibility, and transparency of public institutions. Digitization and artificial intelligence are gradually integrated into state administrations and the governance process, and the results obtained confirm a visible increase in managerial, economic, and social efficiency. These aspects determine state governments to progressively design and implement strategies for digitalization and artificial intelligence within public services. Public investments needed for these changes are necessary for the sustainable development of the public sector. EU states are encouraged to make massive public investments to integrate artificial intelligence applications in public services and to operationalize digital transformations necessary for efficient and intelligent public administrations.

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Netflix

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions related to it had a massive impact on shifts in consumer behavior and consequently accelerated the already existing trend of digital transformation. To adjust to the “new normal” we had to organize our activities remotely, from how we work, how our children learn to how we entertain ourselves. This paper aims to provide an analysis of how the pandemic reflected on Netflix´s business through the analysis of the number of subscribers, revenue, and the company`s stock price. The conducted research relies on the secondary data provided by financial reports, statistics, scholarly articles, and related news sources accessed via online databases and online searches. With its availability in more than 190 countries worldwide, impressive video content library, and a very simple sign-up process, Netflix was very well positioned to benefit from the social restrictions during the pandemic. Millions of people under lockdown turned to at-home entertainment by subscribing to Netflix services and enjoying its content. Despite all the challenges that the company was facing during the pandemic, 2020 was a record-breaking year for Netflix in terms of subscriber number and revenue. Understanding how certain industries react to sudden disruption in the market and how quickly can they adapt their business in a rapidly changing environment is an important step in facing upcoming crises more effectively.
