“…Digital transformations will become more and more significant for organisations in the upcoming decade, with the focus on companies' preparation for such changes [19]. Based on everything reported in this paper, it is possible to conclude that one of the most appropriate forms of preparation for the changes happening within an organisation which is keeping up with the time and technology of the modern age, is certainly designing a clear and appropriate strategy of a digital transformation of the organisation.…”

The contemporary business setting, as well as the era of a more and more intensive digital development of society, are creating greater challenges for organisations when it comes to introducing digital processes into almost every domain of business, that is, conducting a digital transformation of the organisation. Conducting a strategic digital transformation of an organisation is becoming one of the key elements of its business success. This paper aims to analyse the key requirements regarding a strategic digital transformation, as well as to analyse those organisations which have successfully performed this process, and those who did not manage to reach the desired goals in the process of strategic digital transformations.

“…Further studies are required by sector of activity to assess whether their business models are similar, which implies the existence of a more generic or sector-specific framework (e.g., Retail sector [58]), while respecting the individuality of the intrinsic model of the organization [7].…”

“…It should also be noted that, in the context of what is, and how to implement DT, Loonam et al [7] present a framework of interest for the management of TD implementation. The proposal can be seen from two organizational perspectives: vertical perspective-operational and strategic; horizontal perspective: internally focused and externally focused.…”

“…Example of application, when the combination of operational perspective with externally focused is analyzed from customers' point of view, the authors suggest, "Blending the physical and digital customer experience." [18] Goerzig and Bauernhansl [19] have studied the lower abstraction level of the framework developed by Loonam et al [7], present a comparison between the enterprise architecture (EA) tools and the challenges of DT deployment. According to this comparison, for instance, when the feature used is driver, the EA has IT-focus and DT has business-focus, or if the feature is development approach, the EA has a waterfall approach, and DT has agile approaches.…”

The current technological evolution allows us to easily and quickly obtain more information, computing capacity, communication and connectivity, in addition to allowing new forms of collaboration between disperse networks of diversified actors. This new reality not only offers enormous potential for innovation and enhanced performance for organizations but also, extends beyond the classic boundaries to affect individuals, other organizations and society in general. At the same time, this reality makes the ability of organizations to uphold their competitive advantage more challenging, since the control of the elements of their operating environment decreases drastically as they increasingly control the elements of the same environment. This is how the digital transformation of organizations becomes unavoidable, because otherwise they tend to disappear. In this context, it is necessary to infer our students’ methods for researching, identifying and taking solutions about if organizations in Portugal are already living the aforementioned digital transformation or if they are aware of the need to adapt to this new reality. The main goal of this research formatted as educational approach, is to evaluate and compare the current state of digital adoption in terms of the preparation according to the prevailing technological categories (pillars and innovation accelerators), as well as future priorities of organizations in the implementation of digital transformation in Portuguese organizations. To evaluate such objectives, a Project Based Learning (PBL) approach was used to reinforce the research and decision-making skills of undergraduate business students. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that organizations are aware of the need to accommodate the digital transformation not to fail and disappearing. However, it is not possible to conclude which strategy is to be adopted by the organizations, and how such a strategy will affect the organization as a whole, in particular as in respect of its business model.

Nowadays digitalization is an important topic for businesses and government agencies. There are important reports publishing about digitalization or digital transformation. This study aims to measure the relative efficiency of digital transformation among EU Countries based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). The necessary data are extracted from Digital Transformation Scoreboard 2018 published by European Commission. DEA is one of popular methods for measuring the relative efficiency of similar units. This study empirically proposes an alternative ranking for countries with respect to digital transformation efficiency by using "enablers and output" approach of Digital Transformation Scoreboard. Digital Infrastructure, Investment and Access to Finance, Supply and Demand of Digital Skills, E-Leadership and Entrepreneurial Culture are considered as input while ICT start-ups and Digital Transformation are considered as the output of DEA model. The results indicate that while some countries like Denmark, Italy and United Kingdom are considered relatively efficient, Netherland and Germany are not very efficient according to our results.
