Digital Transformation in Traditional Industries: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

The traditional business market undergoes fast structural changes due to digital innovations, which create new operational schemes alongside efficiency improvements and customer-focused delivery systems. The analysis of this procedure utilizes case study methodology, which demonstrates the digital technology integration process across manufacturing, retail, automotive, Information and Communication, Education, Human Health, and Supply industry legacy systems. A review of the relevant literature supports analyses from multiple cases in identifying the main drivers and barriers, as well as their strategic implications. The analysis shows that digital technologies promote innovation acceleration and process enhancement, but companies still go through change resistance and integration issues. The research results provide fundamental knowledge for both industrial leaders and government officials who need to build effective implementation plans for technological methods combined with solutions for organizational obstacles and cultural adaptation. Research efforts should work toward analyzing permanent transformation effects and developing better digital maturity evaluation techniques for traditional markets.
