Resumo Este ensaio teórico tem abordagem crítica e busca explorar as teorias relacionadas com modelos de negócios, bem como as capacidades dinâmicas baseadas em conhecimento no cenário de transformação digital. Em primeiro lugar, são apontados os principais fundamentos que conceituam os temas modelos de negócios (MNs), inovação nos modelos de negócios (IMNs), transformação digital (TD) e capacidades dinâmicas baseadas em conhecimento (CDBC). Na sequência, são apresentadas e discutidas as 2 proposições encontradas. Defende-se que a capacidade digital é dinâmica, uma vez que afeta a capacidade de conhecimento da empresa, assim como pode vir a estimular a capacidade digital. Propõe-se também que não somente a capacidade dinâmica baseada em conhecimento é necessária para o desenvolvimento de um modelo de negócios sustentável; a emergência de lucros imediatos pode afetar o modelo de negócios da empresa. O presente ensaio traz contribuições teóricas que poderão ser utilizadas em trabalhos futuros, além de contribuições práticas e gerenciais que poderão ser aproveitadas por gestores e tomadores de decisão.

Objetivo: Explorar critérios de transformação digital no agronegócio (digital transformation in agribusiness – DTA) e analisar sua importância potencial (peso) e prioridades (ranking) para futuros projetos de DTA. Originalidade/valor: A transformação digital (TD) tem se tornado cada vez mais central no agronegócio, fomentando um rápido processo de dependência de tecnologias digitais para os processos operacionais. No entanto, a falta de critérios consistentes para a DTA pode dificultar o progresso no desenvolvimento de projetos e aplicações industriais, além de dificultar novas pesquisas devido a possíveis deficiências conceituais, técnicas e teóricas. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Uma revisão manual da literatura, juntamente a ferramentas automáticas de agrupamento de texto, foi empregada para obter critérios e subcritérios. Para analisar pesos e rankings, foram utilizados dois métodos em conjunto: fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) e fuzzy technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution (Topsis) para agregar respostas de especialistas em DTA. Resultados: Os critérios extraídos da literatura foram: gestão do conhecimento (análise, monitoramento, tomada de decisão), automação (plantio e colheita, processamento e fabricação, manutenção, tecnologia, máquinas e ferramentas), eficiência (custos, trabalho e pessoal, processos) e continuidade (qualidade e segurança alimentar, sustentabilidade ambiental). Os resultados apontam para um conjunto de critérios ancorados na transição das operações para as tecnologias digitais, mas vinculados às limitações físicas de um negócio tradicional não digital. Este artigo contribui para o desenvolvimento da literatura fornecendo um conjunto de critérios para projetos de DTA e analisando sua possível importância de acordo com um painel de especialistas. As implicações práticas incluem a definição de áreas e sua potencial importância relativa para futuras implementações. / Purpose: Exploring criteria for digital transformation in agribusiness (DTA) and analyzing their potential importance (weight) and priorities (ranking) for future DTA projects. Originality/value: Digital transformation (DT) has become increasingly central in agribusiness, fostering a rapid process of dependence on digital technologies for operational processes. However, the lack of consistent criteria for DTA may hinder progress towards project development and industrial applications, as well as obstruct further research due to potential conceptual, technical, and theoretical shortcomings. Design/methodology/approach: A manual review of literature coupled with automatic text clustering tools was employed to elicit criteria and subcriteria. To analyze weights and rankings, two methods were used in tandem: fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarities to ideal solution (Topsis) in order to aggregate responses from DTA specialists. Findings: The criteria extracted from the literature were: knowledge management (analysis, monitoring, decision-making), automation (planting and harvesting, processing and manufacturing, maintenance, technology, machinery and tools), efficiency (costs, work and personnel, processes), and continuity (quality and food safety, environmental sustainability). The results point to a set of criteria anchored in the transition of operations to digital technologies yet bound by the physical limitations of a traditional non-digital business. This paper contributes to the development of the literature by providing a set of criteria for DTA projects and analyzing their possible importance according to a panel of specialists. Practical implications include a definition of areas and their potential relative importance for future implementations.

The article focuses on analyzing the factors affecting students' digital skills and adaptability in the context of digital transformation. The study identified influencing factors: Environment, Behavior, Individuals, Teachers, Time of use, and access. However, the results of an online survey of 1.282 students of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) with Cronbach's Alpha test method, EFA analysis, correlations, and regression analysis, showed that there are 3/5 factors identified in the hypothesis that affect digital skills and adaptability of HCMUTE students in the context of digital transformation, specifically: behavior (Beta = 0.177, Sig. = 0.000); individuals (Beta = 0.181, Sig. = 0.027); teacher (Beta = 0.547, Sig. = 0.000). Besides, the environment does not affect digital skills and adaptability (KNSKNTU) due to Beta = 0.017 and Sig.=0.384>0.05. Sig does not involve usage and access time factors. >0.05 in the table Correlations not be further analyzed in the regression model. The research results are expected to help provide a more objective view of the reality of digital adoption and student adaptability in the digital transformation context at HCMUTE.

Digital transformation (DT) arises in debates about trends in various industries, mainly in value creation through the innovation of products and services and how they are negotiated. DT poses new challenges to organizations, which this research aims to identify by answering: What is the structure of the literature on DT, and what themes have gained prominence in the last five years? This research conducted a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis and content analysis. The bibliometric analysis highlighted the following discussions: strategic renewal amid DT; implementation of technologies in Industry 4.0; digitization to enable servitization; DT as an engine of innovation in business models; digital innovation management; and DT to change the consumer experience. The analyses point out avenues for further research and raise important questions for decision-makers in companies that want to reap the benefits of DT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This study aims to understand how organizations accelerate digital transformation (DT) and leverage innovations in digital services in the modus operandi of dynamic capabilities (DC) development. DT provides an agile resource mobilization in relation to the operational flexibility and to the technological and informational capabilities. Originality/value: This study contributes with a new theoretical-applied perspective on agility as a necessary competence for DC development, being investigated in an emerging country, in this case, Brazil. The development of DC that are suitable for DT becomes critical for capturing opportunities in the dynamic digital environment. Design/methodology/approach: Forty companies in the Brazilian territory were investigated in order to explore the relation between DC and DT, focusing on agility and based on the logic of literal and theoretical replication of case studies. The theoretical framework was applied to investigate companies from three empirical fields (energy, automotive, and digital services), within the triangulation of secondary sources, management reports and internal documents. Findings: The cases analyzed provide evidence that agility does not presuppose strong DC in sensing, as it depends on services' maturity. We highlight the mediation of the applied use of intangible resources and digitized assets that speed up the seizing and transformation of the business. In the context of digital assets in intensive environments, we propose that DT strategy may be used with analytical intelligence and agility by integrating technological processes.

Covid-19 and other challenges have affected many activities and sectors. The habits and behaviors of people and workers have changed considerably. This is where the use of technologies and connections, virtual reality and remote support can make a difference. Companies and cities were forced to quickly adapt to new challenges. Smart city projects reveal great potential in connecting people to goods/services like never before. Furthermore, the data obtained from the underlying technological convergence can drive more efficient decisions. This work, using an interpretive approach, intends to investigate at what level Portugal is ready to respond to the accelerated process that the current context demands from cities. Portuguese companies have developed a good capacity for entrepreneurship and innovation. However, they still reveal a relative delay in converting acquired knowledge into results (sales/exports). And there is still low collaboration at the public-private level. This is reflected in terms of using the internet to interact with public services. It is interesting to note, through the proposed methodology, that there is a set of priority aspects, common to smart cities, that influence the direction of national innovation. This leads us to consider that the dimensions of the national innovation system must be aligned with the objectives of the regional innovation systems. One lesson that can be drawn is that a concrete map of potentially digital cities in the country is increasingly needed to make it clearer where to act in order to positively influence the national innovation ecosystem in line with the European strategy.

O Sistema Eletrônico de Informações (SEI) é uma ferramenta de gestão de documentos eletrônicos que tem como objetivo fornecer às instituições públicas melhoria nos serviços e na eficiência administrativa. Do mesmo modo, a Lei de Acesso à Informação dispõe de mecanismos de melhoria da gestão pública seja a ampliação da transparência pública, por meio do pedido de acesso à informação, como também a proteção das informações do Estado, por meio da classificação das informações. O governo brasileiro tem avançado na implementação de medidas de transformação digital. Desta feita, essa pesquisa visa analisar se o Sistema Eletrônico de Informação (SEI) pode ser considerado um sistema seguro de acordo com os preceitos da Lei de Acesso à Informação. O objetivo deste artigo é, portanto, analisar a conformidade das características do SEI com os aspectos de segurança da informação apresentados na LAI. Para isso, utilizou-se a metodologia de pesquisa exploratória com base em estudos bibliográficos, bem como, análise documental das informações disponibilizadas na Cartilha do SEI e na própria legislação que trata dessa temática. Através do processo de pesquisa realizado, foi constatado que a utilização do SEI nas instituições públicas tem se apresentado de grande valia por tornar melhor a gestão administrativa de documentos, promovendo maior comunicação entre o Poder Público e o cidadão. Contudo, no que tange à Segurança da Informação conforme preconizado pela LAI, o sistema ainda apresenta deficiência por não disponibilizar funcionalidades que possibilite o trâmite seguro de informações classificadas.

Considerando as tendências de consumo da alimentação infantil, a resposta à oportunidade identificada diz respeito à oferta de lanches saudáveis, escolhidos pelos pais, mas também ao gosto dos filhos, e entregues pelo retalhista na escola. Trata-se de um novo modelo de negócio de distribuição de lanches escolares. Para o desenvolvimento da proposta, a metodologia action research foi empregada mediante a vivência em um dos maiores players de retalho alimentar em Portugal. Por meio de simulações, desenvolveu-se uma proposta de plataforma online, considerando o modelo B2B2C, com o cardápio estabelecido e uma proposta de go to market, com lançamento e abordagem comercial. O lançamento previsto foi, todavia, adiado, em vista do impacto da pandemia no ambiente escolar.

Considerando-se o avanço tecnológico e o necessário emprego de novas ferramentas na administração da Justiça do século XXI, pretende-se compreender o panorama evolutivo dessa transformação digital, em contexto nacional, bem como volver o olhar às tendências internacionais para analisar, em perspectiva comparada, as perspectivas e desafios existentes. O Conselho Nacional de Justiça participa ativamente do estabelecimento de um marco de Justiça 4.0 e o Poder Judiciário brasileiro já experimenta uma constante atualização tecnológica. Mas, iniciativas como o recente diálogo com a União Europeia, conduzido pelo CNJ, resultam frutíferas no aprofundamento ordenado do uso de novas tecnologias, a serviço da Democracia e do Estado de Direito.

Abstract Purpose: Based on the context of digital transformation and the evolution of digital technologies, this research sought to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) collaborate to improve the efficiency of operations management (OM). Originality/value: Digital transformation and the use of new technologies, such as AI and IoT, have impacted the management of the companies’ operation. A preliminary survey carried out in the Web of Science (WoS) database, analyzing data through the VOSviewer bibliometric software, identified an important relationship between AI, IoT, and OM through industry 4.0 (i4.0), which has as one of its main objectives the improvement in OM. The results of this research bring a practical contribution to business managers, such as the identification of the main barriers and expected benefits when adopting AI and IoT in their operations. For researchers, this study differs from studies already published by conducting a systematic review of the literature that investigates the relationship of OM with technological tools, such as AI and IoT. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review of the literature was carried out with the objective of analyzing all articles that brought some contribution to a better understanding of how AI and IoT collaborate to improve the efficiency of operations. Findings: The results demonstrated how AI and IoT were being incorporated into OM, identifying the main barriers of its use, as well as indications of research gaps that may lead to further investigations to advance on this topic. / Resumo Objetivo: Tomando como base o contexto de transformação digital e a evolução das tecnologias digitais, esta pesquisa buscou compreender como a inteligência artificial (IA) e a internet das coisas (internet of things – IoT) colaboram para melhorar a eficiência da gestão da operação (GO).

With the advancement of technology, the current system of production and lifestyle can be changed. As a result, many new professions must emerge and some others may disappear. The article describes the approach taken by Industry 4.0, exposing concepts that have been constantly implemented in organizations, such as Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. Such an approach is necessary due to the progressive transformations and demands of the market so that the industrial branch and its operations can remain competitive. The final objective of this article is, therefore, to study the relationships that Industry 4.0 technologies, being IoT and AI, are promoting in the development of the industrial and personal sectors. At the methodological level, a bibliographic study was carried out through scientific articles and books, together with interviews with people who work in the area. It was sought, from both methodologies, to confront the information present in the bibliography against practical perceptions in the industrial sector. As a result, it made sure that there is indeed a correlation and, effectively, practical application of these concepts in the industry, linking technologies, IoT and AI, which, when integrated, can offer intelligent services capable of interacting with people in order to improve quality. of life.

Purpose: Based on the context of digital transformation and the evolution of digital technologies, this research sought to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) collaborate to improve the efficiency of operations management (OM). Originality/value: Digital transformation and the use of new technologies, such as AI and IoT, have impacted the management of the companies' operation. A preliminary survey carried out in the Web of Science (WoS) database, analyzing data through the VOSviewer bibliometric software, identified an important relationship between AI, IoT, and OM through industry 4.0 (i4.0), which has as one of its main objectives the improvement in OM. The results of this research bring a practical contribution to business managers, such as the identification of the main barriers and expected benefits when adopting AI and IoT in their operations. For researchers, this study differs from studies already published by conducting a systematic review of the literature that investigates the relationship of OM with technological tools, such as AI and IoT. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review of the literature was carried out with the objective of analyzing all articles that brought some contribution to a better understanding of how AI and IoT collaborate to improve the efficiency of operations. Findings: The results demonstrated how AI and IoT were being incorporated into OM, identifying the main barriers of its use, as well as indications of research gaps that may lead to further investigations to advance on this topic.

The following scientific article talks about the digital transformation in companies and organizations, how in recent years they have innovated with the integration of digital technologies in their operation and the way of relating to the environment. Since the 1990s, companies have changed the way they do business, have adapted to new global circumstances, and have improved their processes, trying not to be left behind in this constantly evolving and mutating digital maelstrom. Although it is true that postpandemic companies have made that leap to digitize their facilities, their services, their platforms, their social networks, it is estimated that the change should be more disruptive. This article investigates the need to delve into tools such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, metaverse. Companies no longer just have to reinvent themselves, they have to disrupt, think outside the box in order to respond to the challenges of a competitive environment marked by the digital economy. What happens to companies in Ecuador and in the world? The biggest barrier to this digital transformation will be the fear of change, the resistance that exists within organizations to remain in operational mode and not mutate to a more avant-garde, convergent and disruptive systematization.
