Abstract
Today, companies feel a need to invest in digital transformation due to changing customer demands and increasing market pressure, but at the same time also experience many challenges in planning and implementing digital transformation processes. The aim of the paper is to support digital transformation in the following two areas: 1) identification of dimensions and factors on digital transformation projects to be observed in enterprises; 2) multi-aspect digital transformation ontology formalising the elements and inter-relationships of these factors. As most of the factors are of qualitative nature and difficult to measure, the multi-aspect ontology serves as means for operationalising them. To this end, an illustrative example and application steps are presented.
期刊介绍:
IJISM''s thematic focus is on research that investigates and improves integration along supply chains. IJISM seeks high-impact scholarly analytical and empirical research in integrated supply management from academics and professionals. It is discipline-agnostic. Supply chain integration can be a complex and challenging imperative involving industry 4.0 ecosystems, alignment of supply markets and consumers, associated organisational changes, and the creation and management of integrative relationships in the supply chain. Substantive research that addresses such issues is solicited. Topics covered include: -Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing/service eco-systems including blockchains, robotics, wearables, sensors, AI, data mining, additive technologies, etc. in integrated supply chains -Global integrated supply chain design -Purchasing and supplier coordination and relationships -New modelling, optimisation and empirical methodologies in integrated supply chain design and management -Risk management and resilience -Sustainable operations and sharing and circular economies -Lean supply managenent -Quality management in supply chains -Transportation and logistics -Customer relationship, service response, demand management in supply chains -E-commerce supply management -Performance measurement in supply chains
