Abstract

Purpose - We attempt to provide a background, a review of current development of the digital technologies and their effect on the digital transformation process, and then offer our recommendations for identifying and taking strategic actions to exploit them. More importantly, we also aim to offer important recommendations for policymakers and practitioners how to better advance the innovation system by facilitating the development of digital technologies and take advantage of improvements in digital technologies. Research design, data, and methodology - This study undertakes an extensive and critical review of the digital transformation literature and identifies several important issues with relevant practical examples of best practices in the transition to digital transformation process. Results - This paper finds that digital technologies with strong technological backing have brought technological spillovers to the economy while also generating shocks. Conclusion - To maintain a healthy and developing market order, it is necessary for governments to innovate regulatory models. This study offers several important suggestions for government regulatory innovation that we believe should help to better deploy digital transformation initiatives and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of government regulation in contributing more to the high-quality and healthy development of the digital economy.
