This book contains high-profile contributions that emerged from the Information and Communication Technologies in Organizations and Society (ICTO) conference on "Smart Technologies for an Inclusive World," held in 2020.  It focuses on the interplay between technology adoption, digital transformation, and value creation, highlighting various aspects of current issues organizations face in adopting digital technologies to achieve an inclusive and sustainable society in the long term. 

As such, the book contributes to our understanding of a humanistic approach to managing digital transformation toward inclusive organizations and societies and is a valuable asset for both researchers and managers of organizations.

The Media Convergence Handbook sheds new light on the complexity of media convergence and the related business challenges. Approaching the topic from a managerial, technological as well as end-consumer perspective, it acts as a reference book and educational resource in the field. Media convergence at business level may imply transforming business models and using multiplatform content production and distribution tools. However, it is shown that the implementation of convergence strategies can only succeed when expectations and aspirations of every actor involved are taken into account. Media consumers, content producers and managers face different challenges in the process of media convergence.

Volume I of the Media Convergence Handbook encourages an active discourse on media convergence by introducing the concept through general perspective articles and addressing the real-world challenges of conversion in the publishing, broadcasting and social media sectors.
