“…However, when I tried to go further, I realized that they eventually did not want development and simply said ‘yes’ because they believed they wanted it without understanding exactly what development means. Kasim and Al‐Gahuri (2015) faced a similar obstacle in their data collection in Socotra. Thus, the question that arises is not only about the language barrier but also about the understanding of terms such as ‘development’.…”

“…When the keywords “Socotra” and “tourism” are combined in a search, out of the 89 documents that come up as academic papers, books, book chapters and conference papers, only three appear in social science publications. Kasim and Al‐Gahuri's (2015) paper published in Tourism Management is about data collection and research. Specifically, the authors question the reliability of quantitative data collected from Indigenous people living in a very conservative society.…”

When talking about developing tourism in places where nature has been untouched, strong criticism has emerged, especially from naturalists, ecologists, and environmentalists. These voices advocating for ‘keeping untouched places untouched’ often reach many people, who then echo that opinion without necessarily knowing the territory's situation. This paper reflects the sustainable development theory and constitutes a reflective piece of writing about tourism development in the Socotra Archipelago, a place rich in biodiversity and human traditions, but geographically remote. Socotra Island, although relatively unknown, has received a great deal of attention from natural science researchers who have focused on understanding the many endemic species found on the island. However, information about Indigenous Socotri, their behaviors, traditions, and cultures—all components of a successful cultural tourism destination—is scarce. In this paper, the author reflects on current situation on the island and possibilities for future generations. Tourism may help create future possibilities for people from the island by considering a sustainable development theory.

“…Case study researchers focus on the environmental analysis of an event or condition and the underlying relationships (Sayre, Toklu, Ye, Mazza, & Yale, 2017). Case study researchers are varied in their approach but consistently use direct observation, interviewing, and document review to reach accurate theme detection and ensure the reliability of data saturation (Kasim & Al-Gahuri, 2015;Runfola et al, 2017;Yin, 2014).…”

“…Meanwhile, digital mastery at the individual level was measured by a qualitative method using an open-ended (essay format) survey questions. An open-ended survey in an essay format is preferred because it allows respondents to express their real and honest opinions Digital mastery in Indonesia and knowledge about digital technology/transformation without being directed by a specific interest of the researcher (Neuman, 2005;Kasim and Al-Gahuri, 2015;Martins et al, 2016). The qualitative survey consists of four essay questions about digital mastery (the details can be seen in Appendix 2).…”

PurposeOur research objective here is to contribute theoretically and empirically to providing a gap model of digital mastery development in a company. The gap model will be a reference for the companies to develop their digital mastery.Design/methodology/approachTo gain deeper insights into the study, a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative was performed. The level of digital mastery of the organization was determined using quantitative techniques through a self-assessment questionnaire. Meanwhile, digital mastery at the individual level was measured by a qualitative method using an open-ended (essay format) survey questions.FindingsThe findings show a stark difference between the organization and individual regarding their digital mastery level. At the end of the paper, the authors suggest some remedies that will help those companies narrowing the gap and fulfill the agenda of their digital transformation.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research should analyze more industries or companies, conducting case studies to discover more detailed findings as to where the gaps are located or conducting digital readiness and leadership skills at the individual level to discover the direction of development of digital technology in a company. We expect this research can be replicated in other countries, so that wider general insights into the development of digital technology may be obtained.Practical implicationsUpper-area companies are indicated by their execution of partial digital initiative in the company which results in the lack of socialization of the ongoing digital activities into the individual level. Companies, especially Top Management, need to develop more knowledge about digital application and transformation to every individual in the company. Meanwhile, lower-area companies should improve their engagement across all organization members. The companies should be able to take advantage of their existing employees who possess knowledge in digital application and transformation and generated various artifacts to motivate other employees to jointly transform the organization into a Digital Master.Originality/valueOur study compares the perception toward digital mastery at the organization and individual levels. Both levels are different and need to be compared, as suggested by Schuchmann and Seufert (2015) and Hinings et al. (2018). Comparison at both levels does not exist at the time of this study. Accordingly, what problems and challenges are faced by companies undergoing a digital transformation will largely remain unknown.
