Purpose: to build the research model of Entrepreneurial Digital Strategy (EDS) as crucial managerial tool for shaping hospitals as smart, network oriented organisations. Design/methodology/approach: the main research method is a systematic literature review in order to conceptualize the EDS as crucial driver of shaping hospitals as smart, network oriented organisations. Statistical analyses using data from OECD Health were used to present chosen input and output indicators of Polish national healthcare system. Findings: the proposition of research model of EDS as the digital technology road map towards building the smart hospital based on cost and quality performance healthcare processes. Additionally, using chosen statistical data, the Polish national healthcare system in the world context is presented. Research limitations/implications: the concept of smart organization is still not widely recognized in management science, so it is difficult to create detailed model of hospital assessment as a smart organization. Simultaneously, the current scientific output consulting company knowledge in this field is enough to create especially strategic concepts of smart hospital. Practical implications: the draft of practical managerial tool for hospital managers who are going to transform their hospitals towards smart ones is presented in the article. Social implications: the article has a special social impact which consist of strategic management concept oriented towards managing the challenges of today hospitals (esp. public ones). These challenges are concentrated on simultaneous need for quality growth and cost reduction. Originality/value: the concept presented in the article is the part of assumptions of new managerial model suited for hospital transformation towards smart organization.

Purpose: With increasing digitalization, the debate on the direction of transformation in various sectors of the economy and their ability to keep up with the changes in this area is becoming increasingly complex. The energy industry is one of the key sectors in the economy, and as such it must follow trends and adapt to changing conditions. The aim of the paper is to diagnose and assess the level of progress in digital transformation among Polish energy sector enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted on a group of 110 entities, with a survey questionnaire. The gathered data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings: Although the level of employing Industry 4.0 tools in Polish energy sector enterprises is at a low level, managers recognize the importance of following the path toward digital transformation. The awareness of particular digital transformation prerequisites differs depending on the phase of the digital transformation process. Research limitations/implications: Among the limitations of the research procedure, issues such as the single respondent design and the exclusion of micro entities from the research should be noted. However, the exclusion of micro entities from the analysis was intentional, and this area deserves the attention of researchers. The specificity of the functioning and organization of the activity of micro enterprises may distort the image of the sector. Referring to the single respondent design, it was assumed that in this phase of the research it is reasonable to collect individual opinions specific to a given enterprise. It would be worth extending the analysis by conducting in-depth interviews or attempting more in-depth research at the level of individual entities. Originality/value: This article contributes to the knowledge of the energy sector in Poland in the context of Industry 4.0.

Digital Sovereignty must be on the agenda of every modern nation. Digital technology is becoming part of our life details, from the vital essentials, like food and water management, to transcendence in the Metaverse and Space. Protecting these digital assets will, therefore, be inevitable for a modern country to live, excel and lead. Digital Sovereignty is a strategic necessity to protect these digital assets from the monopoly of friendly rational states, and the threats of unfriendly Malicious states and behaviors. In this work, we revisit the definition and scope of digital sovereignty through extending it to cover the entire value chain of using, owning, and producing digital assets. We emphasize the importance of protecting the operational resources, both raw materials and human expertise, in addition to research and innovation necessary to achieve sustainable sovereignty. We also show that digital sovereignty by autonomy is often impossible, and by mutual cooperation is not always sustainable. To this end, we propose implementing digital sovereignty using Nash Equilibrium, often studied in Game Theory, to govern the relation with Rational states. Finally, we propose a digital sovereignty agenda for different country’s digital profiles, based on their status quo, priorities, and capabilities. We survey state-of-the-art digital technology that is useful to make the current digital assets sovereign. Additionally, we propose a roadmap that aims to develop a sovereign digital nation, as close as possible to autonomy. Finally, we draw attention to the need of more research to better understand and implement digital sovereignty from different perspectives: technological, economic, and geopolitical.

This paper explores internal forces that formed the digital adaptation strategy for SMEs embarking on the digital transformation of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0). A qualitative case study design was adopted involving Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from the manufacturing and service sectors in Malaysia. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and supported by the resources from the firms’ website. Adopting the Planned Process Change Model and Technology Adaptation Process Model as new theoretical lenses in the digital adaptation study, findings from the multiple case studies using thematic analysis revealed four dimensions of internal forces driving SMEs’ digital adaptation: business strategy, value creation, digital leadership and digital talent. Findings contribute to the theoretical development of the digital adaptation strategy from a change management perspective.

Niniejszy artykuł bada siły wewnętrzne, które ukształtowały strategię adaptacji cyfrowej dla MŚP rozpoczynających cyfrową transformację rewolucji przemysłowej 4.0 (IR4.0). Przyjęto jakościowy projekt studium przypadku z udziałem MŚP z sektora produkcyjnego i usługowego w Malezji. Dane zostały zebrane za pomocą częściowo ustrukturyzowanych wywiadów i poparte zasobami ze strony internetowej firm. Przyjmując Model Planowanej Zmiany Procesu i Model Procesu Adaptacji Technologii jako nowe soczewki teoretyczne w badaniu adaptacji cyfrowej, wnioski z wielu studiów przypadku z wykorzystaniem analizy tematycznej ujawniły cztery wymiary sił wewnętrznych napędzających adaptację cyfrową MŚP: strategia biznesowa, tworzenie wartości, przywództwo cyfrowe i talent cyfrowy. Ustalenia przyczyniają się do teoretycznego opracowania strategii adaptacji cyfrowej z perspektywy zarządzania zmianą.
