“…Virtual museums have emerged as complex entities that raise new issues and challenges (Liritzis et al , 2015). A virtual museum can be considered as a model of cultural communication based on connectivity and openness of information that uses a wide range of communication and technological tools (Nisiotis et al , 2019). In a virtual museum, artworks and data are integral parts of a connective system in which users are free to cocreate their cultural experiences (Vollero et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the strategic governance of the digital transformation of the accounting environment in cultural organizations, with a specific focus on practices of social responsibility and stakeholder engagement in virtual museums. Design/Methodology/Approach By adopting a multiple case study approach, this study investigated five Italian virtual museums and their digitalization processes. Data were collected and triangulated from multiple sources, including documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with 16 key informants. Findings Considering the digitalization of the accounting environment as a paradigmatic change, the authors identify three key transitions for its strategic governance: from the static, technical and physical to the relational, emotional and digital; from bureaucratic managerialism to value cocreation; and from traditional CSR to integrated external engagement. Moreover, the authors found that social responsibility and stakeholder engagement practices are used in a limited way, and that the use of social media appears to be increasingly important and to be carried out through an emergent rather than a deliberate strategy. Research Limitations/Implications The paper draws from a limited sample of case studies in one country and is based on exploratory research. This paper calls for more comparative studies using a longitudinal approach to investigate the impacts of digitalization on the accounting environment of cultural organizations. Originality/Value This study is one of the few studies concentrating on the effects of digitalization on the accounting environment of cultural organizations.

“…The fusion of VR, Robots, and Social Networking technologies can create new approaches to protect and educate people about cultural heritage, make archaeological sites and artefacts available for a wide range of the public, improve and enhance the experience and current ways in which museum visitors interact with exhibits. These affordances can contribute to the development of a new and innovative framework, a kind of CPSS that would connect museum visitors to events and/or objects, or phenomena, separated either in time or in space, or both, and provide virtual social rendezvous [48,50,51]. With the combination of these technologies in the development of the proposed system, realistic representations of archaeological locations at various moments of their timeline can be developed which, with the addition of characters/avatars to the 3D representation, a 3D+T(time) scene reconstruction can be created.…”

“…The project described in this paper refers to such a system as a Cyber-Physical-Social Eco-System (CPSeS), that tightly integrates the physical, cyber, and social worlds based on their interactions in real time. The integration of CPSeS in a Virtual Museum provides a novel platform to enhance the enjoyment of all visitors and the issues raised by them [48,50,51]. This project envisions near future, where the implementation of such CPSeS in a plethora of domains would lead to the development of Cyber-Physical-Social Eco-Society systems.…”

With the rapid development of technology and the increasing use of social networks, many opportunities for the design and deployment of interconnected systems arise that could enable a paradigm shift in the ways we interact with cultural heritage. The project described in this paper aims to create a new type of conceptually led environment, a kind of Cyber–Physical–Social Eco-Society (CPSeS) system that would seamlessly blend the real with virtual worlds interactively using Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networking technologies, engendered by humans’ interactions and intentions. The project seeks to develop new methods of engaging the current generation of museum visitors, who are influenced by their exposure to modern technology such as social media, smart phones, Internet of Things, smart devices, and visual games, by providing a unique experience of exploring and interacting with real and virtual worlds simultaneously. The research envisions a system that connects visitors to events and/or objects separated either in time or in space, or both, providing social meeting points between them. To demonstrate the attributes of the proposed system, a Virtual Museum scenario has been chosen. The following pages will describe the RoboSHU: Virtual Museum prototype, its capabilities and features, and present a generic development framework that will also be applicable to other contexts and sociospatial domains.
