International Conference on Digitalization and Business Sustainability

(ICDBS - 2023)
About The Conference

The theme of the ICDBS-2023 Conference is “Digitization and Business Sustainability”. The growing digital
transformation and awareness about sustainability are dramatically changing the business landscape. Almost every
aspect of business has changed to a greater or lesser extent. Digital transformation has emerged as a top priority on
leadership agendas and among scholars around the world in the era of increased uncertainty. Digital transformation is
described typically as strategic change using digital technologies that result in changed products, processes,
improved customer engagement, and new organizational structures. An unprecedented wave of digitalization is
occurring by relying on the convergence of SMAC technologies – social, mobile, analytics, and cloud computing – that
fuel innovation in society and business. Additionally, organizations today have begun to realize the importance of
ensuring all stakeholders’ social welfare for sustainable business operations, besides the economic objective of profit
maximization, e.g., innovative goods and services, operation efficiency, resource, and capacity utilization. The
sustainability is being viewed as a source of innovation and new growth among business managers. Therefore,
leaders have growing expectations from the promise of digital transformations and sustainable performance to make a
strategic contribution to their businesses’ survival and success. In line with this, ICDBS-2023 provides a much-needed
platform for academicians, researchers, and industry professionals to address these challenges of digital era.
