This book presents the current state of research in information systems and digital transformation. Due to the global trend of digitalization and the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, the need for innovative, high-quality research on information systems is higher than ever. In this context, the book covers a wide range of topics, such as digital innovation, business analytics, artificial intelligence, and IT strategy, which affect companies, individuals, and societies. This volume gathers the revised and peer-reviewed papers on the topic "Management" presented at the International Conference on Information Systems, held at the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2021.

This book provides a collection of advanced information systems research, cases and applications in the context of Vietnam, presented by experienced researchers in the field. It provides a comprehensive overview of the field and offers access to practical information systems applications, serving as a guide to comparing the context. Readers can also compare the context of information systems applications in Vietnam as a developing country against the context in developed countries. The book contributes to the body of knowledge in several ways. It provides comprehensive references for information systems research, promotes the recent progress in its applications in Vietnam and offers a shared understanding to serve as a blueprint for future research. From a practical point of view, the book helps organisations/companies in Vietnam to keep up with information systems cases, studies and applications.

Understanding the key IT issues facing firms within their surrounding contexts is critical for the firm, government, and their international counterparts.In response to the dominant and pervasive bias in Information Systems (IS) research towards American and Western views, the World IT Project was launched and is the largest study of its kind in the field. This book captures the organizational, technological, and individual issues of IT employees across 37 countries.The book enables management and staff to formulate business and IT-related policies and strategies. Likewise, it allows policymakers, governments and vendors to address important issues at the national level as well as to respond to the needs of partners and stakeholders in other countries. It also offers current and future academic scholars a grounded understanding of the international IT environment and provides a sound foundation to launch many international IT studies.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, DESRIST 2021, held in Kristiansand, Norway, in August 2021.* The 24 revised full research papers, included in the volume together with 6 short contributions and 7 prototype papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: ​impactful sociotechnical design; problem and contribution articulation; design knowledge for reuse; emerging methods and frameworks for DSR; DSR and governance; the new boundaries of DSR. *Apart from the planned on-site event, the hybrid conference model was explored due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Technology provides accessibility otherwise unavailable to the people who can benefit from it the most. As new digital tools become less expensive and more widely available, research and real-world cases that examine the union between emergent countries and information systems are essential in determining the next steps for these nations. The Handbook of Research on Managing Information Systems in Developing Economies is a pivotal reference source that explores the effects of technological data handling within developing economies. Covering a broad range of topics such as emerging digital technologies, socio-economic development, and technology startups, this book is ideally designed for software programmers, policymakers, practitioners, educators, academicians, students, and researchers.
