Many organizations initiate digital initiatives but struggle to achieve meaningful transformation because they do not clearly understand the drivers and strategic implications of digital change. This module helps learners understand why organizations pursue digital transformation and how transformation initiatives influence competitive positioning within industries. Learners will explore the conceptual foundations of digital transformation by examining the distinctions between digitization, digitalization, and enterprise transformation. The module also analyzes the drivers motivating organizations to adopt digital initiatives and how these initiatives reshape industry competition and market dynamics.
