Abstract

Companies now face two challenges in order to remain innovative and competitive. The first is to digitally transform their production, products and services. Second is to address sustainability topics to reduce their global footprint. However, introducing new digital technologies may contradict company’s sustainability goals, for example, introducing a digital technology improves assembly lines, but increases energy consumption. This paper introduces a sustainability-enabled assessment framework for digital technologies (SAFT) supporting companies to choose the best digital technology for them. The SAFT framework assesses digital technologies in terms of sustainability factors as well as crucial aspects such as technology potential, and the fit to the company. The paper concludes with a case study in which the SAFT framework is applied to a company in the construction industry.

数字技术的可持续性评估

为了保持创新和竞争力，公司现在面临着两大挑战。首先是对生产、产品和服务进行数字化转型。二是解决可持续发展问题，减少其全球足迹。然而，引入新的数字技术可能与公司的可持续发展目标相矛盾，例如，引入数字技术改善了装配线，但增加了能源消耗。本文介绍了数字技术可持续性评估框架(SAFT)，以支持公司选择最适合他们的数字技术。SAFT框架从可持续性因素以及技术潜力和适合公司等关键方面评估数字技术。最后，本文通过一个案例研究，将SAFT框架应用于建筑行业的一家公司。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Innovation (IJIM) is the official journal of the International Society of Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM). Both the IJIM and ISPIM adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the many challenges of managing innovation, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D or new product development. Both are also international, inclusive & practical, and encourage active interaction between academics, managers and consultants.
