Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Bled eConference, as one of the most traditional conferences in the field of electronic commerce and business (now digital business), has been shaping electronic interactions since 1988. Through its activities, it aims to contribute to shaping economic and social growth with environmental sensitivity, thus enhancing the wellbeing of citizens around the world. The implementation of novel information technologies is leading enterprises and governments to digital transformation. Digital transformation will not be successful if the sustainable aspect of human and social development is not taken into account. The European Commission emphasizes that competitiveness in the future depends on the ability to move toward sustainability, resource efficiency, and the ability to take advantage of digital technologies. In the context of the digital society, implementing digital technologies and novel solutions is not enough to achieve higher efficiency, effectiveness, and competitive advantage. Society demands different economic models—more responsible, righteous, and less exploitative. Digital technologies should be used to implement and design solutions and business models that are human-centric and sensitive to sustainable development in all aspects—economic, environmental, and social (triple bottom line). In the last year and a half, we have witnessed a tremendous uptake of digital technologies in response to the pandemic crisis. We welcome research papers covering the crisis response, challenges, and changes brought forth by the pandemic, and also considering the resilience plans for the future uncertainties.
We invite authors of recent Bled eConferences to develop their papers and submit them to this Special Issue call. Submitted papers should make a significant contribution to theory, knowledge, and practice in the areas of information management, information systems, information technology, and information resources management. Papers based on both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, in all traditional as well as new areas of Management Information systems, business informatics, computer science, or technology management will be considered for this Special Issue.
