This book describes the trends in digital innovation that are of most importance for businesses and explores the key challenges. The book is in three parts, the first of which focuses on developments in digital systems. Here, the ever-growing relevance of big data, cloud computing, and mobile services for business is discussed, and detailed consideration is given to the importance of social listening for understanding user behavior and needs and the implications of IT consumerization. In the second part, trends in digital management are examined, with chapters devoted to work practice, digital business identity as well as branding and governance. The final part of the book presents and reviews case studies of digital innovation at the global level that provide a benchmark of best practices, with inclusion of instructive fact sheets.

While the book offers academic coverage of the digital transformation of business organizations and the associated challenges, it also describes concrete, real-world issues in clear, easy-to-understand language and will serve as a toolbox for managers that can be readily consulted.

Chapter 2. Cloud Computing
Abstract
During the last decade, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry has been transformed by innovations that fundamentally changed the way we use computers, how we access information, how businesses derive value from ICT and how consumers live their daily lives. This fast evolution made the ICT able to cover more areas in business and other fields. It can be used to reduce costs by keeping accurate records of all the transactions that are happening in the company, which enables better stock controlling by using Electronic Point of Sales (EPOS), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS), and allows improved automation of the production process by using computer controlled machines. Moreover, marketing has benefited from ICT in many ways such as analyzing the results of market research in more effective ways by utilizing the capabilities of Business Intelligence (BI), ICTs have important role in improving communications between the different departments and branches within the same company, among other firms by using mobile phones, emails, intranet, internet, and faxes, and between the business and its customers. One important new development in the ICT field is the cloud computing, which will be investigated in details in this Chapter.

Abstract
The changes that materialized in the field of information technology (IT) during the last decade have produced important effects in the strategies of the companies that produce new technologies. Consumerization is one of the new trends that have forced firms to be more flexible. In the twenty-first century, many of the great technological innovations are developed commercially first for the consumer sector, and then find their way into business applications. Consequently, popular commercial innovations have had important effects on the way how the businesses operate.

This Chapter aims to provide a better understanding of the advantages, the challenges, and the implications of the IT Consumerization on businesses.

Chapter 6. Digital Work and Collaboration
Abstract
The fast evolution of the Information Systems (IS) during the last decade makes it able to cover more areas in business and other fields. One example of these areas is the way that people communicate and collaborate in business environments. In business, the digital or IT collaboration is divided into electronic communication tools, electronic conferencing tools, and collaborative management tools. The previous mentioned systems have evolved tremendously in the last few years in order to improve the way a group of people from the same organization work together in a productive way. Also, Computer-Supported cooperative work (CSCW) is centrally concerned with teamwork, learning, problem solving, knowledge building, task accomplishment and other cognitive achievements by small groups of people. There are many theories useful for framing the cognitive work that groups undertake in CSCW settings, and they may in principle not be reducible to a single theory. This Chapter will look in details into the origin of the digital collaboration, its importance for work environments and its types. Also it will explain the different digital collaboration tools.
