In this chapter, the editors introduce the background to the chapters and the contemporary context. Over the past few decades, over 60 authors of the book’s 23 chapters have witnessed the consolidation of global IT firms, increased reliance on cloud solutions and virtualization and increased sophistication of technologies adopted and used by organisations. This change can be described as the result of digital transformation. This introductory chapter provides an overview of the topics and industries that the chapters touch on. Learning from the experience and by example, as in these chapters, allows established ways of thinking and doing to be challenged. This is likely to be crucial for successful management and information technology after digital transformation.
