Purpose The advent of technology has enabled frequent innovations in the digital modes of doing business. While some users are reluctant to adopt one, others have made it their way of life. The purpose of this study is to find out the approximate time frame of a digital user in an emerging economy like India to adopt their favorite digital application. The importance of an individual’s level of internet skills is explored in the aspect of adopting digital innovations. Design/methodology/approach The study follows a quantitative approach where data collected from both primary and secondary sources are analyzed to arrive at the results. In total, 837 responses collected with the help of a structured questionnaire are entered and analyzed using SPSS. Multinomial logistic regression is the statistical tool used in the research. Findings Five sets of adopter categories based on Rogers (1983) are created using an adoption score and are represented in a Time Horizon to understand better. The Unaffected adopter category is used as the reference point to compare the set of internet skills against each of the other five categories. The five sets of categories comprising the internet skills depict interesting results in the case of all the four comparisons made. Social skills are not seen to have any influence on a user being an Innovator or Early Adopter as compared to an Unaffected user. It is also established that Operational and Creative skills play important role in users’ probability of being an innovator, early adopter and early majority compared to being unaffected. Originality/value The study analyzes the role of internet skills in the process of adopting digital innovations. The role of internet skill although is associated with every aspect of the digital revolution taking place all over, its application including the direct score of a digital user’s level of internet skills is not found in the literature.

“…Accordingly, various errors occur due to lack of resources, pressure, shortage of time and technical equipment, etc., and the patient might have to wait; the opposite can occur if a healthcare institution has digital orientation ability that provides guidelines for focusing on the radical changes occurring in market. Digital orientation provide awareness about the latest tools, equipment, software, and applications to be adapted for observation, action, history, report, and reasoning performed by service providers during the check-ups of patients [ 21 ]. Thereby, it is important for healthcare institutions to use the latest IT technologies.…”

This research aims to examine specific issues that how healthcare institutions successfully manage IT projects after the deadly disease of COVID-19. The world’s healthcare institute changed its traditional way of treatment to IT-based equipment after COVID-19. Hence, this study investigated the how digital orientation helps healthcare institutes for successful management of IT. Our study identifies the critical role of digital orientation and innovation adaption in the successful management of IT. The mediating role of innovation adaption in the association between digital orientation and successful management of IT was also investigated. In total, 456 questionnaires were used for the collection of data from eight different healthcare centers. We selected participants through random sampling. Findings on the healthcare institution showed that successful management of IT is predicted through digital orientation. This study’s results proved that digital orientation impacts innovation adaption, and similarly, innovation adaption influences the successful management of IT. The outcomes show the mediating role of innovation adaption in the linkage between digital orientation and successful management of IT. Current research contributes to the existing literature through combined impacts of the digital orientation, innovation adaption, and successful management of IT through means of demonstrating how, when, and why digital orientation supports the successful management of IT. Moreover, innovation adaption performs a significant role in the extant digitalize world; thus, we chose innovation adaption as a mediator in this study.

Data is considered a primary resource for innovation. The existence of a large amount of available data, as well as technological tools capable of explore them, allows companies to extract information that can be used to create and implement new ideas and new projects. To this end, the details regarding the care that organizations should have with data are explored. The difficulties regarding the adoption of datadriven approach and some measures to implement this type of decisionmaking approach are also discussed. Some examples of data-driven approaches for diverse industries and products are shown. A real example of prediction model for decision making that is based on industrial data is also discussed. This example shows the difficulties in the preparation of data for the building of these models, which confirms that most of the time spent in the construction of predictive models it is due to this step. The use of the data-driven approach allows organizations to obtain superior results in their processes, thus becoming a tremendous competitive advantage and a special strategic factor in a highly competitive market, regardless of the field of activity.
