Research summary and objectives
Through our work we aim to address current digital transformation research gaps by looking through the – individual, organizational and ecosystem perspectives, and by undertaking a holistic analysis of various industries and innovation ecosystems.
Objective
Our objective is to provide training and knowledge-base within the overarching research field of industry digital transformation across innovation ecosystems, leading to a new generation of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in innovation and technology management. Through our work we aim to address current digital transformation research gaps by looking through the – individual, organizational and ecosystem perspectives, and by undertaking a holistic analysis of various industries and innovation ecosystems.
Our mission is to empower a cohort of leaders in research and business, by equipping them with a unique set of skills and cutting-edge knowledge that will be achieved within the framework of four cross-disciplinary areas or work packages.
