Business leaders now consider accelerating the shift to digital business to be the most critical priority in the following years. It is clear to pay attention to the fact that Covid-19 has widened the digital business gap, separating digitally advanced firms that could adapt to the pandemic quickly from those that had to play catch-up.
Firms find it hardest to break free from legacy (non-digital) strategic mindsets when their businesses are successful. Digital leaders help to shift the leadership team to think about the business opportunities from a technology perspective and explore how they can use technology to create new sources of customer value.
Internet will eventually evolve into the metaverse, which will come to represent the next major computing platform. If the concept can be actualized, it is expected to be as transformative to society and industry as the mobile phone. The metaverse is also expected to have a strong connection with the real-world economy — and eventually become an extension of it. In other words, the metaverse must have the ability for companies and individuals to participate in economic activity in the same way they do today.
This mini-track is intended to connect academics, companies, communities and development organizations by providing a networking space between business and human development, between business strategy and development expertise.
