“数字化和可持续性:推进数码网络tal Value has the merit of bringing together two intersecting issues. Both digitalization and sustainability have received a great deal of attention, but this is one of the first books I have seen that gives adequate attention to their complementarity. The chapters in this book are innovative and represent a great deal of wisdom while, at the same time, reflecting diverse perspectives. This book will prove useful for a broad set of readers, including professional researchers, business leaders and students.’

‘The book is timely and provides a much-needed perspective on digital transformation and value generation. It not only covers the traditional focus on business value and individual gains, but also examines systematically, with international examples, how digital technologies bring societal value, enhance ESG performance, and transform public service and institutions.’
