Abstract

Digital transformation has become a crucial phenomenon, impacting society and industries through the implementation of digital technologies. It involves organizations adapting to gain a competitive edge, sense disruptions, and reorganize their business models. Challenges include the need for new strategies and skills, while opportunities arise from increased organizational performance and value creation through data utilization and innovative solutions. Overcoming inertia and resistance are critical in achieving successful digital transformation. Operational research plays a significant role in understanding and addressing these challenges and opportunities in the digital age. This article introduces the Special Issue on ‘Operational Research and Business Intelligence as Drivers for Digital Transformation’ and briefly discuss its relevance and the works it includes.
