Digital Business Strategy
|
MIT's Sloan School of Business has published the findings from its 2015 Digital Business Global Executive Study and Research Project, conducted in partnership with consulting firm Deloitte. The report by Gerald Kane et al. is entitled "Strategy, not Technology, Drives Digital Transformation." A key finding is that "maturing digital businesses are focused on integrating digital technologies, such as social, mobile, analytics and cloud, in the service of transforming how their businesses work. Less-mature digital businesses are focused on solving discrete business problems with individual digital technologies."
The report is available both online and as a PDF, and the online version includes a "Digital Business Interactive Tool" with interactive charts to explore the data set. |
