These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others.

These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Rapidly emerging digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and virtual and augmented reality are driving profound changes in the workplace and society. These technologies are radically transforming areas of cognitive and physical work while opening up new opportunities for complex decision-making and increased efficiency. As a result, a new set of skills and a new style of leadership is required, where digital savviness is essential, together with an increased focus on collaboration, transparency, entrepreneurship, diversity, and inclusion. This book, organized in six parts, presents key developments of the digital age in leadership, management, the future of work, and business education.

This research is complemented by research at the organizational level in Part II, Strategy and Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era, that discusses strategic issues that organizations of different sizes and levels of digital maturity face. Part III, Innovation and digital transformation, presents examples from different sectors, where AI and other innovative technologies are integrated in business. Part IV, The Future of Work, focuses on the changing conditions of workspaces and their implications for human resource management and the future of work. Part V, Leadership and Skills for the Digital Era, explores the impact of this changing business and societal landscape and studies the leadership style and skills needed in these conditions. Finally, Part VI, The Future of Business Education, studies how such skills and leadership may be cultivated in business education and draws lessons for the future.

Two world-renowned strategists detail the seven leadership imperatives for transforming companies in the new digital era. Digital transformation is critical. But winning in today's world requires more than digitization. It requires understanding that the nature of competitive advantage has shifted—and that being digital is not enough. In Beyond Digital, Paul Leinwand and Matt Mani from Strategy&, PwC's global strategy consulting business, take readers inside twelve companies and how they have navigated through this monumental shift: from Philips's reinvention from a broad conglomerate to a focused health technology player, to Cleveland Clinic's engagement with its broader ecosystem to improve and expand its leading patient care to more locations around the world, to Microsoft's overhaul of its global commercial business to drive customer outcomes. Other case studies include Adobe, Citigroup, Eli Lilly, Hitachi, Honeywell, Inditex, Komatsu, STC Pay, and Titan. Building on a major new body of research, the authors identify the seven imperatives that leaders must follow as the digital age continues to evolve: Reimagine your company's place in the world Embrace and create value via ecosystems Build a system of privileged insights with your customers Make your organization outcome-oriented Invert the focus of your leadership team Reinvent the social contract with your people Disrupt your own leadership approach Together, these seven imperatives comprise a playbook for how leaders can define a bolder purpose and transform their organizations.
