Abstract: This workshop aims to better understand a full landscape of digital transformation from Digital Economy towards Digital Civilization. Emerging Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) (e.g., AI, 5G, internet of things) are more or less affecting and disrupting traditional economy, despite the COVID-19 is still threatening the economy of countries around the world. The boom of digital economy is backed by the widespread use of ICT across all industry sectors in order to further boost its productivity, which it is the key to prospering our economic future and securing recovery from COVID-19. Digital transformation of the economy is shaping how businesses are structured, how nations need to address new regulatory challenges. With the increasing development of ICT, we are becoming more digital society, more empowered, and nations are becoming borderless, which is rightly the times of digital civilization. In such case, it is imperative for the international community to work more closely to seize opportunities and meet challenges by following the trend of digitalization. In this workshop, we invite researchers and practitioners to mainly discuss four aspects of digital economy which will be not limited to, including 'Digital Platform and Ecosystems', 'Digital Transformation and AI', 'Digital Infrastructure-driven Innovation Ecosystem' and 'Data Ecosystem'. These topics are quite in accordance with the AOM 2022 conference theme "Creating a Better World Together". In addition, this workshop will specifically advocate the Journal of Digital Economy (JDE) and welcome any scholars who are interested in digital economy related topics to submit their manuscripts.
