In this insightful book, John Storm Pedersen explores the consequences of the increasing digitalisation of public welfare services. With reference to the historical contexts of welfare states, Pedersen presents the seven main elements of this digital transformation and their advantages and disadvantages.Digital Transformation and Public Welfare Services focuses on three new concepts that reflect the ways in which digital transformation is significantly altering the welfare state and public service sector. The Opportunity is based on data-driven management, enabling increased welfare to citizens and win-situations for all stakeholders. The Challenge is based on automation and a version 2.0 of New Public Management and The Wildcard replaces citizens’ physical presence with a digital presence within public service provision. Pedersen argues that societies should strive to employ the first concept, the Opportunity, as it provides a clear framework to improve welfare for all citizens, creating beneficial arrangements for stakeholders within public service provision.This is an important book for students and researchers of comparative social policy, digital sociology, and sociology and social policy. It will also be invaluable to professionals and policymakers working in the welfare state and public service sectors.

Since the early 2000s, digital data has transformed the way we live and work. This timely book looks to big data analytics to understand this revolutionary change, unpacking the impact of big data analytics on the mobilization and allocation of individuals, organizations and societies' resources.Contributions from leading experts on modern technological trends examine the promises, applications and pitfalls of big data. The contributors assess the ways in which contemporary trajectories of data processing have increased efficiency and had a transformative effect on all avenues of life, from energy, tourism and social media, to human resources, welfare systems and urban citizenship. At a time when our personal data is more valuable than ever, this book seeks to make sense of how big data analytics has transformed our lives and how it will continue to shape society in the future.Astute and comprehensive, this book is critical reading for business and management scholars with a focus on information systems and communications technologies. It will also prove to be vital information for students and researchers of big data and digital society, as well as politics and administration more widely.Contributors include: P. Aagaard, A.R.
