The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of new forms of
working and new working arrangements largely enabled by technology.
The Future of Work is a projection of how work, working, workers
and the workplace will evolve in the years ahead from the
perspective of different actors in society, influenced by
technological, socio-economic, political, and demographic changes.
This open access Pivot is a timely exploration of some of the
challenges and prospects for the future of work from two main
perspectives: how work is changing and how to prepare for work in
the future. An evidence-based assessment of these topics
offers some critical perspectives that challenge old assumptions
and opens up emerging trends and possibilities for work in the
future. As part of the Palgrave Studies in Digital Business &
Enabling Technologies series, this book is an essential resource
for academics of Business, Human Resource Management,
Organisational Psychology and Industrial Relations, as well as
practitioners and policy makers.
This book highlights advances in Cyber Security, Cyber Situational
Awareness (CyberSA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Social Media.
It brings together original discussions, ideas, concepts and
outcomes from research and innovation from multidisciplinary
experts. It offers topical, timely and emerging original
innovations and research results in cyber situational awareness,
security analytics, cyber physical systems, blockchain
technologies, machine learning, social media and wearables,
protection of online digital service, cyber incident response,
containment, control, and countermeasures (CIRC3). The theme of
Cyber Science 2022 is Ethical and Responsible use of AI. Includes
original contributions advancing research in Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Cyber Security, Social
Media, Cyber Incident Response & Cyber Insurance. The Chapters
"Municipal Cybersecurity - A Neglected Research Area? A Survey of
Current Research, The Transnational Dimension of Cyber Security:
The NIS Directive and its Jurisdictional Challenges, Refining the
Mandatory Cybersecurity Incident Reporting under the NIS Directive
2.0: Event Types and Reporting Processes" are available open access

The world’s extant building stock accounts for a significant
portion of worldwide energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions. In 2020, buildings and construction accounted for 36% of
global final energy consumption and 37% of energy related CO2
emissions. The EU estimates that up to 75% of the EU’s existing
building stock has poor energy performance, 85–95% of which will
still be in use in 2050. To meet the goals of the Paris Agreement
on Climate Change will require a transformation of construction
processes and deep renovation of the extant building stock. It is
widely recognized that ICTs can play an important role in
construction, renovation and maintenance as well as supporting the
financing of deep renovation. Technologies such as sensors, big
data analytics and machine learning, BIM, digital twinning,
simulation, robots, cobots and UAVs, and additive manufacturing are
transforming the deep renovation process, improving sustainability
performance, and developing new services and markets. This open
access book defines a deep renovation digital ecosystem for the
21st century, providing a state-of-the art review of current
literature, suggesting avenues for new research, and offering
perspectives from business, technology and industry domains.This is
an open access book.
This open access book explores the digital transformation of small
and rural towns, in particular, how to measure the evolution and
development of digital towns. In addition to access to resources,
competition from urban and global markets, and population trends,
rural communities present lesser access and use of digital
technologies and have lower digital competencies and skills than
their urban counterparts. Consequently, they experience less
beneficial outcomes from increased digitalisation than urban areas.
This book defines what a digital town is and explores
digitalisation from the perspective of the four basic economic
sectors in towns - individuals and households, businesses, the
public sector, and civil society - and three types of enabling
infrastructure - digital connectivity, education, and governance.
Particular attention is paid to how digitalisation efforts are
measured by intergovernmental and international organisations for
each sector and enabling infrastructure. The book concludes with a
Digital Town Readiness Framework that offers local communities,
policymakers, and scholars an initial set of indicators upon which
to develop digital town initiatives, and measure progress. For
those ready to embrace the opportunity, this book is a pathfinder
on the road to a more equitable and impactful digital society and
digital economy.

This open access Pivot demonstrates how a variety of technologies
act as innovation catalysts within the banking and financial
services sector. Traditional banks and financial services are under
increasing competition from global IT companies such as Google,
Apple, Amazon and PayPal whilst facing pressure from investors to
reduce costs, increase agility and improve customer retention.
Technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, mobile
technologies, big data analytics and social media therefore have
perhaps more potential in this industry and area of business than
any other. This book defines a fintech ecosystem for the 21st
century, providing a state-of-the art review of current literature,
suggesting avenues for new research and offering perspectives from
business, technology and industry.
The importance of demonstrating the value achieved from IT
investments is long established in the Computer Science (CS) and
Information Systems (IS) literature. However, emerging technologies
such as the ever-changing complex area of cloud computing present
new challenges and opportunities for demonstrating how IT
investments lead to business value. Recent reviews of extant
literature highlights the need for multi-disciplinary research.
This research should explore and further develops the
conceptualization of value in cloud computing research. In
addition, there is a need for research which investigates how IT
value manifests itself across the chain of service provision and in
inter-organizational scenarios. This open access book will review
the state of the art from an IS, Computer Science and Accounting
perspective, will introduce and discuss the main techniques for
measuring business value for cloud computing in a variety of
scenarios, and illustrate these with mini-case studies.
