Conceptual Approaches to Digitalization Research and Global Trends

Abstract

The article presents conceptual approaches to the study of digitalization and global trends. Overall, addressing the conceptualization of the multifaceted term “digitalization,” it is important to note that there is no single interpretation of it. The multiplicity of definitions is determined by both the position of a specific researcher and the depth of examination of this phenomenon.
The trend towards digitalization coexists with other global tendencies, such as the trend towards environmental friendliness, responsible business conduct, and innovation in business models. Digitalization is currently one of the global economic trends that permeate almost all sectors of the economy, and the transport industry is no exception in this regard.
