Abstract

Purpose

Central to the corporate response to decades of discontinuity has been a rapidly growing and increasingly impactful role of data and digital technologies. This article studies that co-evolution.

Design/methodology/approach

Reviewing annual and semi-annual IBM survey data from CEO interviews across the past 20 years, IBM Institute for Business Value research has gained a unique perspective on how corporate leaders have used data technology to stay at the vanguard of change.

Findings

In 2021, 62 percent of the highest performing CEOs said technology infrastructure, specifically data infrastructure, is the greatest challenge for their organization.

Practical Implications

From coping with uncertainty, change and complexity, to the need for more actionable insights, to empowering the individualization of the customer experience and engagement with ecosystem partners, data and digital technologies are now central to helping organizations address their top challenges.

Originality Value

Business leaders must think strategically about how the interplay between data, technology and business transformation will need to be shaped to catalyze even more value for the enterprise and its customers.

Abstract

Purpose

Digital reinvention helps organizations create unique, compelling experiences for their customers, partners, employees and other stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach

Digital reinvention combines the capabilities of multiple technologies, including cloud, cognitive, mobile and the Internet of Things (IoT) to rethink customer and partner relationships from a perspective of fundamental customer need, use or aspiration.

Findings

The most successful digitally reinvented businesses establish a platform of engagement for their customers, with the business acting as enabler, conduit and partner

Practical implications

For successful digital reinvention, organizations need to pursue a new strategic focus, build new expertise and establish new ways of working.

Originality/value

The article offers a blueprint for digital reinvention that involves rethinking customer and partner relationships from a perspective of fundamental customer need, use or aspiration.

Abstract

Purpose

This analysis assesses the barriers to innovation Japanese executives must contend with and outlines key strategies to help their organizations, and all companies that seek to compete in global marketplaces, assume a leadership role in implementing a business ecosystem strategy.

Design/methodology/approach

To better understand the economic and management challenges Japan’s business leaders face and how they are addressing them, the IBM Institute for Business Value in collaboration with Oxford Economics conducted a survey of 1,151 Japanese executives across 17 industries.

Findings

While the strategy of opening up innovation processes to customers, partners and other stakeholders has been adopted successfully in many nations, Japanese organizations appear stuck in closed, insular innovation paradigms

Practical implications

Japanese organizations need to embrace entirely new customer value propositions, build new partnering arrangements and more effectively harness the power of innovation by taking four key sets of actions that: Re-imagine customer experience; Redefine business ecosystems; Promote ecosystem connectivity; Revitalize innovation governance.

Originality/value

A bold analysis of why Japanese business leaders largely ignore new forms of competition emanating from startups or emergent cross-industry players, even as traditional industries such as banking now anticipate massive technology-fueled disruption and how they can change.

Abstract

Since many Afghans, especially in rural areas, favor traditional, customary, and tribal laws over national laws, they tend to disregard the constitution and national governmental structure under the new democracy that gives girls and women protection. These laws allow girls to attend school, and ban child marriage; therefore, the problems related to these practices should be decreasing. However, since many in the more rural areas of Afghanistan do not honor the regulations, laws, and rulings of the national government, serious problems still exist for girls and women. Those to be addressed in this chapter are high rates of illiteracy, child marriage, obstetrical fistulas, poor health, domestic violence, and self-immolation.

Abstract

Outlines the evolution of the idea of private property in the West and in early Islamic states; and its practical translation into property rights in land in the UK, Islamic territories and South Asia. Provides a glossary of terms which may be unfamiliar to Western readers and argues that the East India Company’s Permanent Settlement Regulation in South Asia recognized existing rights and did not create new ones. Believes that understanding this is important for any evolutionary theory of the South Asian economy.

Abstract

Introduces literacy as the key to women having equal participation in development and decision making processes. Discusses the ways literacy is linked to power and goes on to highlight three social macro functions of literacy which reflect inequality, the identification of literacy, conservation of history and the construction of literacy.

Abstract

Volume 25 celebrates the 25th year of publication for the American Journal of Business (AJB). Launched by eight MAC schools of business in March 1986, the Journal has featured more than 700 authors who have contributed more than 330 research articles at the intersection of theory and practice. From accounting to marketing, management to finance, the Journal prominently covers the breadth of the business disciplines as a general business outlet intended for both practitioners and academics. As the Journal reaches out beyond the MAC in sponsorship, authorship, and readership, we assess the Journal’s first quarter century of impact.
