Introduction to the Theory of Transforming Wellbeing

Rapid digitization not only enables new businesses to emerge but also pushes existing organizations to seek ways to sustain their operations, making some companies reconsider their visions and strategies. With the recent technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, smart sensing, blockchain, and increased autonomy, business transformations are inevitable. To succeed with these envisioned changes, businesses have to be mindful of human nature which will always play an important role in every transformation. Luckily, the research on human behavior provides an impressive list of principles that are instrumental for creating novel technologies that go beyond solely improving business performance indicators, thus assisting with the necessary behavioral and attitudinal shifts in societies.
