This book focuses on digital innovation and sustainability in the Asian
region in the context of business and management. Managers and policy
makers rely on digital technologies to face the region's sustainability
challenges and solve sustainability problems. From business perspective,
sustainability is defined as the adoption of business strategies,
activities, and operations that meet the needs of the firm and its
stakeholder today while protecting, sustaining, and enhancing the human
and natural resources that will be needed in the future. Digital
innovation refers to the application of digital technologies to existing
business problems as well as the development of the firm's strategy,
culture, and human resources talent to deal and use digital technologies
to solve sustainability issues. There is a consensus among scholars and
practitioners that organizations need digital innovation to stay
competitive. Businesses that are digital innovators consider new ways to
solve old and new sustainability problems facing the Asian region. This
book, with its practical examples, gives the reader impulses for new
Asian's approaches and encourages the readers to dare to think and act
in new ways.
This book is the first annual compilation of innovative ideas and
valuable managerial solutions produced by the region's managers and
decision-makers who think and act creatively, helmed by Tobias Endress
and Yuosre F. Badir from the School of Management at the Asian Institute
of Technology.
