Preface, I.J. BAS, 4.2, 2024
Welcome to the second issue of the fourth volume of the "International Journal of Business Analytics and Security" (IJBAS). This edition continues to explore cutting-edge ideas at the intersection of technology, governance, and management, providing insights into the digital transformation and sustainable development shaping today's industries. This issue covers a range of topics that highlight the current trends and challenges in the digital era. We examine how radical openness influences the quality of SMART services and the crucial role of trust in digital transformation within governments. These discussions delve into the effectiveness of digital services and the integrity of governance processes.
We also present valuable insights into the integration of creative problem-solving in business through articles like "How Design Thinking Can Add Value to Project Management" and "Design Thinking Skills for Managers: The Pros and The Cons." These pieces explore the implementation and implications of design thinking in conventional business practices. Leadership and strategic governance are key themes, particularly in the article "Prominence of the Role of The Board on Risk Management Strategy," which underscores the impact of executive decisions on organizational resilience.
Technological enhancements in quality of life and sustainable development are further discussed in "Sustainability towards Quality of Life: Digitalization as an Enabler," showcasing how digital tools support societal goals. "Citizen Happiness Indicators and How to Improve Them Through Digital Transformation" and "Attributes of SMART Education in SMART Cities" assess the broader impacts of digital technologies on urban living and education, emphasizing potential improvements in citizen engagement and learning environments.
Thank you for your interest and support. We look forward to your contributions and engagement as we continue to navigate these important topics together.
