Digital Strategies in Business Enterprises

Business digitalisation is changing the competitive landscape in many industries. Tech-savvy customers are demanding more. And innovations by many tech-startups are threatening to disrupt many industries, including banking and healthcare.

At ITOM, our research seeks to understand digital business strategies from two angles.

First, from the perspective of digital disruptors, we analyse their rise to understand why and how they are able to disrupt established industries.

Next, from the perspective of established industries, we examine important issues such as:
  • How do they rewire themselves for digital transformation to deal with these challenges?
  • What are the key thrusts of their digital business strategies?
  • What new digital capabilities do they need to develop to prevent the erosion of their competitive edge?
  • How can they develop the innovative mindsets to be more like the digital disruptors?
