Summary:

"In recent decades, all sectors of society and the economy have been forced to adapt to the continuous advances of the digital age. These new technologies are bringing about changes in how we communicate, work and even live, offering opportunities to face future challenges. The concept of digitalization is a fundamental part of the economic catharsis of the 21st century. The book presented here captures some aspects of this great transformation, revealing how digitalization impacts all levels of society and the economy. The need for innovation, the efficiency of its implementation, the effects on tourism and trade, its implementation in culture, and the possible gender gap associated with its development, are crucial elements analyzed in the chapters that make up this book. The results will provide evidence that decision-makers can use to achieve a homogeneous evolution of this great transformation, guaranteeing the success of the measures adopted"-- Provided by publisher.
