Stanje in trendi digitalne preobrazbe v Sloveniji
Abstract
Digital transformation presents many challenges for established companies that are increasingly aware that digitalisation is primarily a business challenge that requires changes in organizational culture, people, business processes and business models. Previous research shows that Slovenia is lagging behind in this respect. This paper contributes to the knowledge of the situation in the field of digital transformation in Slovenian large and medium-sized companies and to a better understanding of the key factors of successful digital transformation, which is the basis for taking appropriate decisions and further development of activities in Slovenian companies. The analysis is based on a survey conducted in June and July 2017, which examined the various aspects of digital transformation, such as its strategic role, digital culture, digital maturity and organizational aspects. The results of the analysis confirm that Slovenian companies are in general less digitally mature than their peers around the world. Investing only in information technology does not increase digital maturity; it is higher in the companies where the business role of informatics was recognized. A digital organizational culture is important for the successful digital transformation of companies.
