Many contemporary business models are now completely based on the idea of a circular economy or sustainability, where they extensively use technology to save resources, become more efficient, and leave a smaller carbon footprint on the planet. Thus, this book aims to bring the discussion of global business transformation, which is a need of the hour, to the forefront and highlight the use of modern technology in actively aiding businesses to become more sustainable.

Global Business Transformation: Innovation, Technology, and Sustainability showcases the emerging economy context where innovation and technology are extensively used for business transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It serves as a comprehensive resource to study the different dimensions of technology, such as AI, data mining, and machine learning from businesses that utilize disruptive technology to achieve sustainability. The book addresses a variety of challenges in the pursuit of global business transformation, which policymakers and experts at all levels of society need to understand well. It also provides an outline of the most pertinent issues and effects that Industry 4.0 is expected to bring to global organizations in the near future and highlights the role of government in streamlining the alignment between SDGs and technology during strategic business transformations globally. It further analyses the possible implications for international business practice and theory and examines the wider repercussions on employment, development, and ethics.

Apart from being a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals involved in the corporate business, manufacturing and industrial engineering sectors, this book will also be of interest to those in fields related to economics, psychology, management, strategy, political science, government bodies, sociology, NGOs, and other industrial organizations.
