Running head: ASSIGNMENT-I 1 ASSIGNMENT-I Name Institution Instructor Course Date 2 ASSIGNMENT-I ASSIGNMENT-I: TOPIC SELECTION & RESEARCH QUESTIONS Digitization and Information In the contemporary world, tremendous quantities of information are published in various formats through the internet, TV programs, CDs, radio, and many more. Without the help of digitization, it would be hard or impossible to publish such as the flood of data in various formats. With the discovery of robotics and other aspects such as data intelligence, the scope of information and digitization continues to grow. From a commercial standpoint, the longevity of information in the overall decision-making process is yet to be explored. Without a doubt, digitization and information are some of the modern areas that most fascinate organizations and individuals today. As documented by Brandimarte and Loewenstein (2015), information and digitization have become a natural part of everyday life. Everyone today has consequential use of binaries in films, images, and other physical presentations. Digitization is accompanied by exceptionally high speeds using computers that offer a wide range of possibilities that would others remain unimaginable. Information and digitization are thus applied in much complex analysis, processes, simulations, controls, and many more. This introductory paper will focus on three research questions based on the objectives of the research; the first research question will explore the concept of the digitization of the individual. The second is to explore the influence of the impact of digitization and information on business model innovation. The last is to investigate the sustainability challenges and problems associated with this age of digitization. Research question 1: exploring the concept of digitization of the individual The core of information systems (IS) is formed by the use of technologies and computers. The components have been strategically designed to create value and to take the best interest at 3 ASSIGNMENT-I an expense of an individual and an organization. The use of digitization and information has expanded beyond organizational borders to play an extensive role at individual levels. Today, according to Hess (2014), people accords the world have accepted the proliferation impact of digital technologies in creating new opportunities and new challenges. The reflection of this trend is to extend across different applications and markets. For instance, in 2018, business wire recorded the growth of wearable technologies at about 20% and expected to grow tremendously by 2023. Digital devices have also been on the growth of individual lives to affect lifestyles. On a broader scope, the process influences decision making-by-making processes less stringent and more efficient. Some of the products include smart cars, super PCs and mobile devices, smart homes, drones, home trackers, and many more. Regardless of the exacerbated risks of information and digitization, the era plays a great role in establishing a connection channel to individuals. Digitization of the individual deals with the influence of behaviors through the constant flow of information in this era of digitization (Deloitte. 2017). First is the increase of fresh domain applications that bring expertise and experience in close links. The second is to merge individual bodies over distances using IT. Again, digitization and information have created a landscape for individuals to create their own arena of IT by creating an arsenal of IT, compatible processes, and structured environment aligned to individual needs and objectives. Lastly, users can evaluate the positive and negative impacts while predominating digital immigration (Matt, Trenz, Cheung & Turel, 2019). Acceptance and uses information in this era of digital transformation have become dependent on fused concepts that have led to impacts on users and connection to suppliers and business contacts. One of those applications is the connection of digital immigration. However, this trend is also linked with negative aspects such as a sense of safety and manifestation beyond IT times. 4 ASSIGNMENT-I Research question 2: exploring the impact on business model (BM) innovation Digitization and information have influenced the operation of innovative business models by impacts on the relationships between the business and the customers, introducing new forms of product innovation and cooperation between business partners. Moreover, it creates a platform for companies to reflect and work on the strategies. Over the past few decades, digitization and information have made a major impact on organizational flexibility, legal requirements, and adherence to consumer preferences, flexibility to changes, and high complexity to manifold changes of the environment including economic, social, and technical changes. Businesses can structure economies into system level of the society. This is according to Matzler et al., (2016). The resultant effect is increasing resource utilization and embedded experience in reducing costs, increasing efficiency, increasing customer loyalty, employee, and work efficiency. The number of opportunities motivated by information and digitization has enabled companies to overcome pressures of competition (Wirtz, 2010). Managers can significantly adapt to the challenges posed by environmental issues while sticking to their strategies. Therefore, this research question deals with how digitization and information influences a firm’s Business Model (BM) and how the firm can cope and adapt to the impact. Research question 3: sustainability and challenges associated with digitization and information Intense risks and sustainability accompany this era of digitization and information. Developers wish there was a way to exacerbate risks such that decisions do not have negative consequences on the current and future generations. The scope also entails a commitment to conserve the environment and a wide range of ecological and human effects. Hughes Iorna (2004) collects many challenges of digitization from a strategic and technical perspective. These 5 ASSIGNMENT-I concepts require well-trained staff and intensive resources that are expensive to acquire. Most importantly, huge funds must be allocated to conduct research, training, methodological prioritization, and feasibility assessments. Concisely, these challenges can be classified into problems of information retrieval, content delivery, and storage, the expectation of end-users, compression to save storage, claudication and indexing, presentation, and ease of digital collection. Nevertheless, the biggest and most scaring issue in this era is related to concern and risks of security and security. Every day, invasion of individual privacy becomes a risk although there are options and programs created to protect users from exploitation. However, the expansion of digitization and access to information has created a space where people can share information leaving users exposed to numerous threats. As a result, catastrophes such as Yahoo data breaches, the University of California hacking, and many more have left unforgettable damage of reputation, emotional distress, and damage of reputation (Hagen & Lysne, 2016). The vulnerabilities in the digital space are endless. They are unlimited to the theft of credit cards, misuse of passports, breach of passwords, impersonation, social media profiles among others. The biggest problem to avoid such occurrences from happening. However, education and awareness when sharing information are over networks is the only desirable attention given by experts to control security and privacy issues. 6 ASSIGNMENT-I References Hess, T., Legner, C., Esswein, W., Maaß, W., Matt, C., Österle, H., & Zarnekow, R.

View Associated Items Print Close Window REVIEW OF LITERATURE In this assignment, all the literature available on the different approaches to the concept of your research is explicitly reviewed. Here you can write the outline or plan of your review like in how many sections and what you are discussing in each section. Sample Main Heading 1 (as per your topic) This is a sample. Replace with your own. Social entrepreneurship in common parlance refers to entrepreneurial activity with an embedded social purpose. Although, entrepreneurial activities with a social concern can be traced back in the history but the social entrepreneurship as an innovative model for social problem solving has recently emerged (Robinson et al., 2009; Mair & Marti, 2006; Peredo & McLean, 2006; Dees et al., 2002; Chell, 2007). Thus, social entrepreneurship mainly stands for endeavors which primarily focus over social value creation and thus social mission remains central to every social entrepreneurship activity. The social entrepreneurship has become a global phenomenon, impacting societies by catalyzing social transformations for societal wellbeing. The phenomenon mainly addresses the basic needs of human society which were neglected in the race for mainstream development. As such, the phenomenon can occur in any society and often such local social entrepreneurship initiatives have the potential for scale up and replication at the global level. E-g: Microfinance of Bangladesh. Sample Main Heading 2(as per your topic) This is a sample. Replace with your own. As described above, the idea of social enterprise is certainly not new as businesses with social missions can be traced back in the nineteenth century. Thus, the practice of social enterprise may well be ahead of the theory as in other areas of social action (Sarah et al., 2002). Sample Main Heading 3(as per your topic) This is a sample. Replace with your own. As described above, the idea of social enterprise is certainly not new as businesses with social missions can be traced back in the nineteenth century. Thus, the practice of social enterprise may well be ahead of the theory as in other areas of social action (Sarah et al., 2002). References (in APA format)
