Abstract

What can be assured is that the underlying forces that will continue to change business (and government), as the transition into the digital era continues are: 1) technological innovation, 2) societal evolution, 3) changing regulatory constraints, and 4) shifting to a knowledge-based work environment. This paper discusses these four forces, and special consideration is given to the expected main areas of technological innovation in information technology. In addition, this paper discusses the fundamental core competencies which enterprises must develop in order to survive the transition into the digital era.
