Summary:

"The Research Handbook on Digital Transformation and Responsibility explores how emerging technologies are reshaping contemporary society. Leading international scholars examine the opportunities that arise from these technologies, as well as the ethical, social, and environmental responsibilities they introduce. Adopting a transdisciplinary perspective, contributors highlight suggested frameworks for responsible innovation and sustainable technology adoption. The Research Handbook combines case studies with practical insights, presenting strategies to balance innovation with accountability. As a result, chapters address pressing moral issues, including AI ethics, data governance, digital inclusion, and environmental impact. Ultimately, this Research Handbook illustrates that digital transformation must be dealt with responsibly, in a way that benefits people, organisations, and the planet. The practical frameworks and empirical insights presented in this Research Handbook are of great benefit to scholars and students in the fields of business, technology, ethics, and sustainability. Providing actionable guidance on how governments and institutions can steer digital transformation responsibly, this Research Handbook is also an essential reference for policymakers and public sector leaders"-- Provided by publisher.
