Digitalization is a fundamental disruptive force triggered by FourthIndustrial Revolution and Internet of Things, which has changed theway we approach and think about business processes and activities.In this increasingly digital age, relationships between organizations(i.e. companies, governmental agencies, and others) and customersare being reshaped and new business models are being invented. Today,companies across industries need agility, speed, flexibility, andthe ability to pivot rapidly to pursue new business opportunities andkeep up with a fast-changing global business environment. Digitalizationemphasizes the importance of placing advanced technology atthe heart of all processes, products, and services. However, much ofthe promised value of digitalization for business and society has notyet been fully realized. Academia will play a vital role in developingthe required knowledge and skills at the individual, company, andsocial levels. LTU can contribute to digital transformation by upgradingteaching and research so that students and researchers learn,understand, and apply digitalization for business development, innovationmanagement, and social value creation.
This book presents a collection of papers by researchers from several different institutions on a wide range of digital issues. Digitalization describes the phenomenon of how knowledge is processed and the processed knowledge provides social transformations beyond digitization, interaction, annihilation of time and space, the phenomenon of usage in multimedia. Transformed is not only the society but also its mentality. Digitalization reveals a sui generis digimodern process by processing modern structures with the help of compulsory tools. This process is a reconstruction of social structures and institutions on the basis of the digitalization perspective. Each social institution adapts this process and provides a contribution to the digitalization of society. ; Mehmet Akgül: "Digitalization and Religion" 9 // Bünyamin Ayhan: "Digital Literacy" 29 // Haldun Soydal: "Digital Economy and Bitcoin" 49 // Hasret Aktaş: "Digital Politics" 75 // M.

In this short paper, we give an overview on how this major trend is unfolding and, specifically, how it affects cities. We take the following starting points: • Digitalization is a strong force that "happens" everywhere in the (urban) society. It has positive and negative effects – explored later in this paper –, which might be promoted or redressed by collective action or government intervention. Rejecting or denying it may come at high costs; • Digital technologies offer new tools and answers to address urban issues; • Digital technologies and their adoption bring a lot of new and unpredictable challenges; • Digital technologies raise several new ethical questions and dilemma's regarding privacy, safety and security; • As in any other major societal transition, legal and institutional systems are not prepared for the digital age. Reality is always ahead of new regulation, resulting in constantly moving "grey areas" where it is unclear which rules (should) apply – think of how to deal with services like AirBnB or Uber.
Business today cannot be separated from issues that relate to sustainable development. For example, business is often accused Technology has altered the way people are conducting their business by utilizing information systems (IS). The velocity of development of IS has been perceived as a knout in conducting business in many sectors such as educational institutions, profit, and non-profit companies, government, and other areas. However, the development of IS has encouraged people to catch up with the pace of technology by digitalizing their work to take advantage of and compete with people in the world. Moreover, information system skills have become essential for recruiters, as companies use technology for their activities. Therefore, education's role becomes very vital to create a better education system to produce well-equipped people for companies. This paper presents such a review for highlighting the progress and aims to help improve the awareness on the best experiences of creating an active teaching and learning method by integrating the information technology knowledge. It is intended to provide a clear idea for those wishing to generate a road map for digitizing the most technology used in education. Note that, this literature review provides a concrete explanation about curriculum, eLearning, artificial intelligence (AI), and gamification which are implemented and used in education, and categorizes the discussion based on the methodology of literature, Technology Used, and Year. This literature review will provide information on research from 2009 to 2019 that has been conducted regarding digitalization in education and review gaps in the literature for future research.
The current situation in society is largely constituted by that wave of computerization, or, as someone say, digitalization, which has covered, in fact, the entire society and sets certain behavioral frameworks at all levels of social communication. Computers organized in a network are coordinated today with the many bodily and mental acts that once constituted the characteristic features of the being called human. What makes a person a special being if the computer network surpasses him in many ways? How much does the concept of "human" change if we consider the latter as one of the agents of a vast digital network? How much do we understand those operations that take place in such a network itself, as well as those that are implemented between a person and a computer? At the same time, it should be taken into account that computers not only transform society. They produce and provoke special recursive connections, both among themselves and with a person, giving rise to a special sensitivity in the latter – sensitivity to the virtual. Virtual reality is not only in the network, it is also updated in the physicality of the individual and in his mentality. So, an individual could integrate with computers and use the advantages that they give: upload themselves to the digital world and be one with computers, choice of communication strategies. However, this question can be somewhat redefined. The ape turned man and Kafka's "Report to the Academy" says: "No, I didn't want freedom. All I wanted was an exit… I had to move forward!". It seems that today it is worth talking not so much about freedom (no matter in what sense of the word), but about finding a way out of a seemingly dangerous, if not catastrophic, situation.
The construction industry is one of the least digitally advanced industries. Although the industry is project-based, a project-level assessment of digitalization is lacking. The aim of this paper is to develop a digitalization index to assess the degree of digitalization of construction projects. Relying on the outcomes of a workshop with 11 participants and questionnaire responses from 113 site managers in Sweden, four activities; visualized drawings and three-dimensional (3D) models on sites; updated drawings, models, and system documents; created and updated work disposition plans; and updated time resource plans were selected, and a digitalization index enabling a simple assessment of the degree of digitalization of construction projects was constructed based on the degree of digitalization of the data management processes involved in these four activities. The approach to determine the digitalization index was demonstrated in a case study of a new construction project. For future studies, an accurate and simple assessment of the degree of digitalization of projects should increase the opportunities to study the association between the degree of digitalization and project performance. With longitudinal assessments, digitalization trends in the construction industry can be reported. ; Funding: strategic innovation program, Smart Built Environment - Vinnova (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems); Formas (Swedish Government Research Council for Sustainable Development); Energimyndigheten (Swedish Energy Agency)Swedish Energy Agency
The article reveals the state program "Digital Kazakhstan" in the field of digitalization of the financial sector, according to which a wide range of measures are being implemented aimed at eliminating the barriers existing in the country for the development of Internet commerce in general, as well as increasing the competitiveness of local players. The development of financial technologies and non-cash payments is described. The issue of online cash registers and electronic invoices is touched upon. The concept of electronic government is revealed. The availability of public services in the online format became possible due to the provision of electronic digital signatures (EDS) to citizens on a free basis. A number of advantages of the portal of electronic public procurement were announced. In addition, the problems of digitalization of the financial sector are highlighted, among which the scale of computer crime in the banking and financial sector and in the field of violation of constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen, including privacy, personal and family secrets, plays an important role. The article also contains a list of necessary measures to ensure information security.

In research on digitalization and learning, digital technologies (just as technology in general) are often understood as a neutral means at the free disposal of learners. What matters are only issue the ends for which (digital) technologies are used in individual or social action. Such a notion of digital objects as a means to an end points to an important insight. Rather than human agency and the learners' learning being in some way causally determined by digital technologies, their use also opens up the possibility of relating to these digital devices and, in the process of acting and learning, employing them for self-chosen purposes. However: no means is just a means. The means-to-an-end notion of things remains one-sided and reductive, since not only do learners something with digital things, digital things also do something with learners. Digital devices, machines and systems represent contradictory forms of life, political artifacts embodying pre-decisions and particular materialized actions. Building on critical theories of digitalization, the paper explores the politics and materialized actions of digital artifacts in relation to the activity of learning. ; In research on digitalization and learning, digital technologies (just as technology in general) are often understood as a neutral means at the free disposal of learners.

The article considers the problem of digitalization of judicial activities in the Russian Federation and abroad. Given the fact that in the modern world elements of digital (electronic) justice are gaining widespread adoption, the article presents an analysis of its fundamental principles and distinguishes between electronic methods of ensuring procedural activity and digitalization of justice as an independent direction of transformation of public relations at the present stage. As a demonstration of the implementation of the first direction, the article presents the experience of foreign countries, Russian legislative approaches and currently being developed legislative initiatives in terms of improving the interaction of participants in the procedure through the use of information technologies. The authors come to the conclusion that the implemented approaches and proposed amendments are intended only to modernize the form of administration of justice with new opportunities to carry out the same actions (identification of persons participating in the case, notification, participation in the court session, etc.) without changing the essential characteristics of the proceedings. The second direction, related to electronic (digital) justice, is highlighted from the point of view of the prospects and risks of using artificial intelligence technologies to make legally significant decisions on the merits. At the same time, the authors argue that the digitalization of justice requires the development and implementation of the category of justice in machine-readable law, as well as special security measures of both technological and legal nature.
The authors in this paper analyze new system and possibilities that will rise for the companies and citizens regarding the digitalization of the market and business register. From June 2017, business registers in all EU countries are interconnected. This means that anybody can search for information on companies registered in any EU country. We can also search for companies in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway. Very important is that the registers can share information on foreign branches and cross-border mergers of companies. This system – Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS) – is a joint effort by EU governments and the European Commission. This paper introduces the cooperation of business registers at European level.
