Service innovation Digital marketing Marketing communications Qualitative research RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Digital Transformation is about change via leveraging opportunities enabled by digital technology. So far, businesses managed to focus on end product primarily, when considering digital transformation, i.e. designing mobile app, using e-platforms for selling and marketing. Digital transformation is however wider, all inclusive transformation of business processes, strategy and resources (Bolat, 2015). “It’s not about doing ‘digital marketing’; it’s about marketing effectively in a digital world” (Menezes, 2016). Dr Bolat’s research finds that it is about looking into integrating three pillars: (1) understanding technology (infrastructure, deployment and skills), (2) business model design (strategic integration of technology, hiring changelers, building new organisational culture) and (3) customer experience design (customer experience focus on Users, not customers) (Bolat, 2016; Strong and Bolat, 2016; Bolat et al., 2016). To date, Dr Bolat has published results of her research on SMEs deployment of mobile technology, social media and digital communication technologies. Currently, she is extending her research interest to studying Internet of Things adoption by SMEs as well as adoption and consumption of digital and wearable tech by Millennials.
