Digitalisation
Originally a technical term, digitalisation broadly describes the use of various digital technologies and the associated, diverse transformation processes.
Digital transformation
In the first approach, digital transformation refers to changes in society or social subsystems accompanying digitalisation.
Experiencing change
Digitalisation is intrinsically linked to significant changes in the private and work environment. This results from a socio-scientific study conducted by bidt among people of varying ages and backgrounds.
A new living world
Andreas Boes researches the effects of digitalisation on the individual and on social coexistence.
Digital transparency on the job: playing with data
Anyone who works with digital means is constantly generating data. A bidt spin-off project is investigating how these can be used in a way that benefits employees and employers.
