Описание книги

Selecting the right technology is one of the most critical decisions in technology driven enterprises, and no selection is complete without a thorough and informed evaluation. This book explores the digital transformation movement from three perspectives: the technological, the personal, and the organizational.The technical perspective analyses and evaluates new and up and coming technologies such as IoT and Cloud Technology. The personal perspective focuses on the consumer's attitude and experience in the adoption of technologies such as smart homes, smart watches, drones and wireless devices. And the organizational perspective focuses on evaluating how technology-driven an organization and their core activities or products are.This book is an ideal reference for managers who are responsible for digital transformation in their organizations and also serves a good starting point for researchers interested in understanding the trend. The book contains case studies that may be used by educators in MBA and Engineering and Technology Management MS programs covering digital transformation related courses.

Because school buses are common in almost every locality of the United States and that they are already often on a structured time schedule, they came in as the second-highest rated policy option. Here, the main hurdle would be the high purchase cost of electric buses and/or converting buses from fossil fuel to electric usage. More research should be conducted to understand how policy can incentivize school districts and municipal decision-makers to invest in EV technology. Incentivization schemes like subsidization might be one way to do so, as might federal or state grants.

Municipal owned vehicles scored about average, due to their lack of widespread adoption. However, because these vehicles do not require coercion or incentive to participate in scheduling for peak-management, this option may have more potential as time progresses and the costs of EVs decrease. This is largely true for all of the options, but more so for electric military vehicles and garbage trucks. Once costs decrease in these areas, decision makers might want to start integrating into EV technology.
