This book examines the impact of technological innovations on processes, products, services, and business models, and the disruption they have caused for many enterprises and industries.

The book also presents potential risks for technology availability, security, and data protection, and outlines a vision of what IT management should look like in ten years if it is to continue playing an important role in the company.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for IT executives and managers, as well as practice-oriented researchers, who are interested in understanding the impact of digitalization on the business world and the role of IT in driving innovation and transformation.
