Ustrezen odnos med vodilnim managementom in informatiki kot pogoj za uspešno digitalno preobrazbo podjetij

Abstract

Digitization and the associated digital transformation is becoming one of the greatest challenges in companies. Numerous studies examine factors that enable digital transformation and the impact of digital transformation on business operations. In any case, one of the prerequisites for successful digital transformation is also an understanding between senior management and IT, which takes care of the implementation of digitization projects. Despite efforts to create an appropriate relationship between IT and senior management, there is still a gap between the two in many companies. The aim of this article is therefore to contribute to the understanding of this gap by highlighting the factors that lead to a partnership. In particular, the results of a study of 221 information technology executives underscore the importance of business and management knowledge in bringing about a partnership. It is precisely because of the consequences of inadequate informatization that the problem addressed in this paper is very topical, and the desire to bridge the gap or increase collaboration between business management and information technology.
