Digital start-ups have shaken up entire industries, challenging the dominance of long-standing companies. Survival of traditional companies depends on “agility” and how effectively they adapt to innovations like big-data analytics and crowdsourcing. This article by Ralf Dreischmeier, Karalee Close and Philippe Trichet of the Boston Consulting Group provides insightful information to companies that want to adopt a digital approach to business. Using real-world examples, the authors highlight five organizational areas where companies should boost digitalization. getAbstract recommends this report especially to senior managers.

Summary

Digital start-ups and new business models have shaken up many industries. As consumer needs and competition are changing rapidly, traditional companies must become digital, which requires an organizational environment that supports risk taking and openness to change.
