Competitive Renaissance through Digital Transformation

  • Global Challenges

    Nowadays’ worldwide challenges posed by economic, environmental, societal and-health-related conditions are calling governments and organizations to act with urgency. Nations, companies, and ecosystems need to rethink and re-build their competitiveness to address the enormous challenges they are faced with (McKinsey, 2020). While the Renaissance emphasized the magnificence of human potential, a ‘new renaissance’ of the Italian and European system must leverage digital technology to ‘augment’ human talent and organizational capabilities.

  • Immediate Response

    To respond to existential challenges posed by climate change, key attention should be paid to the interplay between technological innovation, globalization, and environmental sustainability. Given this, we call for research papers providing a contribution to the debate on how digital technologies can enable a sustainable renaissance of organizations’ competitiveness.



  • Conference Topics

    The conference will be arranged around three tentative tracks

    1. Conference Theme Track
    2. SMEs, Resilience, and Digital Transformation Track
    3. Digital Innovation and Sustainable Renaissance Track

Connection with practitioners

Much of academic effort is spent studying theoretical phenomena. When this is brought to bear on timely topics of interest to executives, academics can serve as the leading edge of the reinsurance spear. This objective can only be achieved by engaging deeply with executives. We want to lead in this effort and invite papers that bridge the gap between academia and practice.

High-Quality Technology

Our technological partner Cisco, together with a Digital Producer, will ensure a professional online experience

          EVENT IN ITALIAN
          I mesi della pandemia ci hanno dimostrato come anche nell’arco di pochissimo tempo sia stato possibile mettere in atto sistemi anche complessi per garantire la business continuity dei servizi ritenuti essenziali. Progetti strategici, come l'incentivazione dello smart working e l'attivazione didattica a distanza si sono potuti realizzare da un giorno con l'altro, spesso estendendo all'ambito professionale quei servizi che gli utenti già conoscevano e utilizzavano individualmente. Il più delle volte il prezzo pagato è stato quello della rinuncia alla governance e al controllo, prediligendo la tattica alla strategia pur di garantire in tempi brevi il ripristino di una operatività accettabile. Quali regole dobbiamo darci per mantenere la componente positiva di questo slancio, incanalandolo in una direzione che ne possa garantire la sostenibilità nel medio-lungo periodo?
