It also defines the impact of these drivers on the management of organizations, identifying how the role of the executive is being redefined in today’s digital age.

Strategic Engineering of Human Resources Development (HRD) to Respond to the Digital Transformation Era in the Context of Business Information Systems

“…Strategic Engineering of Human Resources Development (HRD) is an essential foundation that is inevitable in the face of these dynamic changes. This holistic process involves careful planning, structured development, and meticulous implementation of strategies to build Human Resources (HR) capabilities to face and respond to the complexity of challenges posed by the rapidly evolving era of digital transformation (Mihu et al, 2023). In the more specific context of Business Information Systems, this approach involves deep mastery of technology skills, a holistic understanding of data analytics, intelligent application of artificial intelligence (AI), and a resilient ability to progressively adapt to continuous and rapidly changing technological developments.…”
