Description
Digital transformation is reshaping entrepreneurial and organizational landscapes, offering new opportunities for innovation and societal progress (Nambisan, Wright, & Feldman, 2019; Paul & Chowdhury, 2023). However, its rapid acceleration also raises crucial questions regarding human resilience, organizational adaptability, and ethical responsibility (Browder & Mahajan, 2024; Hariyani, Boughzala, & Alhawari, 2025). This track aims to critically examine how digital technologies affect the sustainability, wellbeing, and transformation capability of entrepreneurs, employees, and organizations. It invites contributions exploring the intersection of digital innovation with psychological, strategic, and cultural resilience that generate both practical and policy-relevant insights. We also welcome research on family and small firms, where digital transformation processes may interact with distinctive governance models, emotional dynamics, and socio-cultural legacies (Liu & Jin, 2023; Del Vecchio, Di Minin, & Petruzzelli, 2024).
This track emphasizes a cautious and reflective approach to managing technological change. Both conceptual and empirical studies using diverse methods, including intervention research, comparative analyses, and longitudinal studies. The track seeks to build interdisciplinary bridges between digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and wellbeing research, contributing insights for policy, management practice, and ethical digital strategy.
