About The Book

Today, the newly emerging concept of "digital economy" is attractive to everyone because of the adoption of digital technology to transform services or businesses. Further, it will lead to changes in the shape of the global economy. The contents and coverage from various campus academics have shown how the impactions role of Digital economy made perceptible changes in the manual (non-digital) with digital ones. In this perspective, I strongly believe that this edited volume will be a very useful referral to students, researchers, and policy pundits. This editing book is an addition to my own venture, "Nuts and Bolts."
