‘The term “digital” has been with us for a while, but as J. Mark Munoz and other authors aptly highlight, its significance is evolving. With artificial intelligence and quantum technologies on the horizon, understanding digital leadership from both organizational and leadership perspectives is crucial. But what types of organizations and leadership are we talking about? This book takes a powerful, international, and case study-centered approach to explore the applied side of digital leadership. You will be captivated as you embark on a global journey, exploring the digital strategies of entities like the NBA and the innovative collaborations in digital technology between China and Africa. This book provides a strategic perspective on what it takes to lead in the digital era. To my knowledge, it is the first book that effectively combines the concepts of digital leadership with the global growth of tech capitalism.’
