Digital transformation (DT) has gained global attention in various service industries, due to the pervasive nature and proliferation of recent digital technologies. Given that we live in an age of DT, the current research examines the factors influencing the older adults' quality of life due to DT. Specifically, we examine whether the older adults' digital skills (i.e., ability to use applications and self-efficacy in using digital devices) and motivational factors regarding DT (i.e., involvement in DT and need for cognition regarding DT) predict their quality of life due to DT. To answer the research question, we conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the elderly Korean adults aged 65 or older. The results indicate that the older adults' ability to use applications, self-efficacy in using digital devices, involvement in DT, and need for cognition regarding DT are positively associated with quality of life due to DT. The findings provide important implications to improve the elderly's quality of life due to DT.

Digital transformation(DT) is about reinventing the enterprise, completely changing its vision, strategy, organizational structure, processes, capabilities, and culture. Therefore, companies preparing or embarking on DT must be able to identify their current status and assess their level for successful DT. In this study, we developed indicators to diagnose and evaluate the current level of a company for successful DT. The current level was actually evaluated by using the evaluation indicators developed for the financial industry (insurance, securities, etc.), an industry where DT is currently being successfully introduced. The most important aspect of this study is that it provides metrics to evaluate the adoption an progress of digital transformation when reinvention a company, rather than a partial view.

AI is recognized to be a key technology for digital transformation (DT) and the value of AI is considered to determine the future of the company. However, in reality, although managers acknowledge the future value of AI and have plans to introduce it, most are not sure what to expect from AI or how to apply it to their business. This study compares two company cases to demonstrate how an organization has successfully achieved AI led organizational change while another failed. Specifically, by taking institutionalist's view, this study examines how the legitimacy enables and constrains AI led organizational changes in organization's practices, processes, and infrastructure. The results of this study indicate that for the success of AI led organizational changes, the legitimacy plays an important role by reducing the challenges from stakeholders and increasing the institutional momentum to move through the phases of the change.

With the technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution integrated into the industry as a whole, digital transformation (DT) is becoming an innovative and essential element of corporate survival in the fashion industry, and it is expected that the paradigm shift in shopping will become an unavoidable reality, especially based on the AR. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of augmented reality were presented separately as perceived realism, interaction, pleasure, and usability, and the influence of augmented reality by immersion parameters on the user's satisfaction and intended to reveal the relationship between satisfaction and usage through the characteristics of augmented reality. For the purpose of this study, a structured questionnaire was conducted, and the available 209 responses were collected and used for empirical analysis. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, while immersion has the greatest effect on satisfaction, the effect on use intention has a stronger effect on satisfaction than immersion. This indicates that purchase occurs when the user's immersion leads to satisfaction, and when the satisfaction falls, the intention to use is also lowered. Second, interactivity, enjoyment, and ease of use among the various characteristics of fashion applications have a positive effect on immersion. Among them, ease of use had a strong effect on immersion. In light of this, it can be seen that ease of use should be considered first when creating an application based on augmented reality in the future fashion industry. However, the perceived reality is low in the degree of immersion, and the effect on satisfaction is also lowered, so it is difficult to be connected to intention. Considering that this study was conducted through indirect experience through video viewing, this study expects the development of research through a more practical research model in the future, as the impact is considered to be a relatively low measurement.
