The concept of digitalization captures the widespread adoption of
digital technologies in our lives, in the structure and functioning
of organizations and in the transformation of our economy and
society. Digital technologies for data processing and communication
underly high-impact innovations including the Internet of Things,
wireless multimedia, artificial intelligence, big data, enterprise
platforms, social networks and blockchain. These digital
innovations not only bring new opportunities for prosperity and
wellbeing but also affect our behaviors, activities, and daily
lives. They enable and shape new forms of production and new
working practices in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare,
logistics and supply chains, energy, and public and business
services. Digital innovations are not purely technological but form
part of comprehensive systemic innovations of a sociotechnical and
networked nature, requiring the alignment of technology, processes,
organizations, and humans. Examples are platform-based work,
customer driven value creating networks, and urban public service
systems. Building on widespread networking, algorithmic decisions
and sharing of personal data, these innovations raise intensive
societal and ethical debates regarding key issues such as data
sovereignty and privacy intrusion, business models based on data
surveillance and negative externalization, quality of work and
jobs, and market dominance versus regulation. In this context, this
book focuses on the implications of digitalization for the domain
of work. The book studies the changing nature of work as well as
new forms of digitally enabled organizations, work practices and
cooperation. The book sheds light on the technological, economic,
and political forces shaping the new world of work and on the
prospects for human-centric and responsible innovations. To this
end, the book brings together a number of studies in five major
topics: 1. The evolution of digital technology impacting ways of
working; 2. The role of artificial intelligence in new ways of
working; 3. Transformation of work, jobs and employment; 4.
Digitalization and need for skills and competencies; and 5. New
forms of decentralized working and cooperation.
