Our Mission
[edit]"The Center for Digital Transformation (CDT) conducts and disseminates path-breaking research on how organizations must adapt their strategies, business models and operations to reflect the evolving digital environment.”
The aim of the Center is to generate and disseminate knowledge that helps businesses, governments and society adapt to and leverage the possibilities enabled by emerging digital technologies. To do so, the Center must identify and execute a research agenda that identifies and addresses the major opportunities and challenges in this arena. In particular, the Center must develop a dialog between academics, business executives (from both the supply and demand sides of digital technologies), and policy makers.
The Center will provide a forum for academics to work in partnership with businesses, non-profits and government on cutting-edge research that is of value to industry and society.
The research questions that the Center will examine are best addressed by adopting multiple theoretical lenses. The Center will serve as an interdisciplinary research institute drawing on economists, behavioral scientists, sociologists, and computer scientists to help understand the emerging digital business environment.
The Center will fulfill a critical aspect of the mission of The Paul Merage School of Business through its focus on strategic issues at the intersection of IT and business; issues that today and in the future will have a significant impact on the ability of businesses to compete successfully in the global information economy.

Research
[edit]The Center conducts both academic and applied research. CDT serves as an interdisciplinary research institute drawing on economists, behavioral scientists, sociologists, and computer scientists to help understand the emerging digital business environment. Our research areas address key constituencies for the research -- business executives seeking to understand how to adapt their enterprises for success in a digital economy, technology executives focused on making critical IT-related decisions that advance company performance, managers of social enterprises and IT industry executives.
Our current focus is on four critical issue areas:
- Economics of the Digital World
- Digital Services Marketplace
- Digital Business Models
- Big Data and Analytics
