Chapters explore the variables that accelerate digital transformation, notably the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid development of information and communication technology, AI, big data and affordable internet access, and their impact on business and society. With rich, empirical studies from leading researchers, this book will be a reference for academics and scholars across business disciplines, including information, technology and innovation management, organisational and strategic management, as well as those interested in industrial development.

By delving into the transformative landscape of education, this book provides a roadmap for policymakers, educators, and institutions to navigate the complexities of the 5.0 era.
