Description du livre
This is an open access book. Technology is changing everything. As digitization, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) sweep across industries and geographies, they aren’t just reshaping the competitive landscape; they’re redefining the organizational imperative: adapt or die. Wait and see is not an option; it’s a death sentence. Today the world is changing rapidly. This has created a sense of urgency to embrace this change for the sustainability of both individual and corporate existence. The name of this future world on the brink of change and transformation is VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity). Current phenomena include the rise of artificial intelligence, which can impact education and workforces, fast-paced businesses, and other advances that create VUCA. Understanding the VUCA world, adapting to it, and focusing on the opportunities rather than the challenges it brings are the basis of sustainability. To increase or maintain the level of development of the countries, and increasing technological advancement, the world is concurrently facing political instability, deteriorating environmental conditions, poverty, and an imbalance in the distribution of wealth. Although the VUCA era seems to lead to a pessimistic situation, giving up is not wise. The world will continue to move, but humans will always be able to adjust. The key lies in the individual’s willingness to keep learning and trying. In this case, three things that need to be built are goals, processes, and support. The goal or goal itself is an orientation that needs to be the basis for action. This issue becomes fascinating to discuss from various perspectives and see how we could utilize & empower technology to mitigate the risks. To empower the use of technology from Humanities, Business & Political Perspectives in the VUCA Era, the Faculty of Law, Social and Political Sciences (FHISIP) of the Universitas Terbuka took the initiative to organize an international seminar with the theme “Empowering Technology: Humanities, Business & Political Perspectives in VUCA Era”
