“…Firstly, it assumes the technological transformation of companies through the use of digital innovations such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, RFID (radio frequency identification), augmented/virtual reality, which are expected to be further upgraded through robotics, artificial intelligence, machine (deep) learning, etc. (Ardito et al, 2019;Solima et al, 2016) Secondly, it includes the transformation of traditional business models into new management paradigms in order to integrate all processes into one connected and networked value chain. Finally, it implies social and cultural transformation in terms of companies and societies in order to embrace technological advances and digital transformation.…”

PurposeThis study, an exploratory one, aims to empirically investigate the association of national intellectual capital (NIC) with the national digital transformation readiness of the European Union's (EU’s) member states. Apart from building the conceptual model of NIC, this study explores the role of NIC dimensions in the digital divide between European countries.Design/methodology/approachBased on the literature review and the available EU statistical data and indexes, the theoretical framework and conceptual model for NIC were developed. The model explores the relation of NIC and its dimensions (human, social, structural, relational and renewable/development capital) on the readiness of European countries for digital transformation and the digital divide. Significant differences between EU countries in NIC and digital readiness were tested. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the association of each NIC dimension with digital transformation and digital divide within the EU.FindingsDespite a positive association between all dimensions of NIC and digital transformation readiness, the proposed model of NIC was not confirmed in full. Regression analysis proved social capital and working skills, a dimension of human capital, to be the predictors of digital transformation at a national level, able to detect certain elements of digital divide between EU member states. Structural capital, knowledge and education, as dimensions of human capital, were predictors of the digital divide in terms of the integration of digital media in companies.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has a limited propensity for generalisation due to the lack of common measurement models in the field of NIC exploration.Practical implicationsThis research offers policy makers an indication of the relationships between NIC and digital transformation, pointing out which dimensions of NIC should be strengthened to allow the EU to meet the challenges of digital economy and to overcome the digital divide between EU member states.Social implicationsThe use of digital technologies is key in creating active and informed citizens in the public sphere and productive companies and economic growth in the business sphere.Originality/valueThis study provides an original theoretical framework and conceptual model through which to analyse the relationship between NIC and digital transformation, which has thus far not been explored at the level of the EU. This research makes an original contribution to the empirical exploration of NIC and produces new insights in the fields of digital transformation and intellectual capital.

“…The core building blocks of business model development in IoT-driven ecosystems are value proposition (the source of opportunities that contribute to the revenue streams), value co-creation (all monetary and non-monetary benefits that attract collaborators in the ecosystem), and value network (relationship with key partners, customers, and all remaining stakeholders) [45,82,83]. Also, the IoT could enhance knowledge sharing, by connecting not only people, but also objects, with intelligence [84]. IoT can open a series of opportunities when it comes to improving knowledge management and innovation capacity, which can help create new value for organizations [74].…”

The Internet of Things is a new technological paradigm that aims to connect anything and anyone at any time and any place, giving rise to innovative new applications and services. In doing so, it offers a number of opportunities and challenges that users and organisations need to tackle. In this paper we systematically review the business literature related to the Internet of Things and provide a critical account of the latest state of play. More specifically, we adopt two perspectives: that of the user and that of the organisation. After outlining the methodological approach adopted, we consider the definitions of the Internet of Things. Then, in turn, we discuss the relevant business literature from each perspective. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the emerging themes and potential avenues for future research.

“…Thus, the hypotheses H 01 (Perceived Usefulness!Attitude) and H 03 (Trust !Attitude) were supported. (Solima, Della Peruta, & Del Giudice, 2016). With the advent of different social media platforms sharing and dispersing of these messages have become a common phenomenon, and business leaders have accepted that firms need to embrace these platforms to make their consumers interact and participate in firm activities (Bhimani et al, 2019).…”

With the growth in the number of Internet and social media users, marketers have analyzed the potential and have started using the platform to interact, reach, and target consumers all around the world. Marketers must ensure that they get a positive attitude of the social media users toward their promotional activities on social media. The researcher in the present study attempts to explore the factors that help in building a positive attitude toward brand pages over social networking sites. To gauge the attitude of the social media users toward brand pages over social media, the researcher in the present study has adapted a research instrument comprising perceived usefulness, informativeness, trust, and hedonism that together result in a positive attitude. The present study explores the understanding of the role of perceived usefulness, informativeness, trust, and hedonism in the formation of a positive attitude of the social media users toward brand pages over the platform.
