It is not a question whether the world is in transition, rather it is quite clear to see that the world is transitioning into new uncharted territories. Digital transformation has taken over the many facets of management and will create advantages for the organizations that are innovative with these competitive core capabilities. From manufacturing to education, every business sector is shifting their traditional ways of doing business to reach organizational goals and survive. Innovation takes the lead here. In this digitalized era, it is obvious that firms and organizations will not survive if they do not adapt to the changing demands and business strategies of the new era. New developments in information technologies provides an essential base for digital transformation leading to many artificial intelligence implications. This can lead to time-effectiveness, lowered costs, better timing, and improved efficiency in personalized products and services. New forms of work, new performance criteria, new training and new development programs for employees and new recruitment and selection procedures will be among the most important issues of new human resource management systems. This stems from the urgency of digital transformation in the new World order. All organizations need to establish new management strategies, policies, and practices to govern vital transformations in the new age. This will be achieved by formulating and implementing a digital transformation strategy which fits to all levels of management in today's organizations.
