Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in a world that rapidly changes, and where the border between physical and digital is blurred. Considering the fact that we live in the digital era, information and the capability to manage it become a key competence for industries. The digital transformation of the industry affects all parts of the business, from daily work routines to strategic decision making, addresses technical, organizational, managerial, as well as business-related issues, and is a means to reach sustainability. This Special Issue focuses on how education can support the digital transformation of the industry as well as how the education system could be adapted to the demands that stem from digitalization to reach sustainability. In addition, a holistic, interdisciplinary systems approach is suggested for the promotion of sustainability in education. The purpose of the Special Issue is to build up a common understanding of how to develop sustainable education practices to support the digitalization of industry. Theoretical, conceptual, as well as empirical papers are welcome, and especially case studies illustrating practical applications within the area.
