Therefore, digital transformation is one of the most debated issues in today's business world. Being aware of this issue, Turkish-German University (TGU) hosted a conference on „Digital Transformation in Business" in cooperation with Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences in Istanbul. The conference offered a platform where academicians as well as practitioners discussed current issues of digital transformation. The academic papers presented in the conference constitute the papers of this book

In our world, where information and communication technologies are reshaping and continuing to shape every field, it is clear that enterprises that can follow the flow of information, grind the information they collect in information mills, and provide intelligence by using their internal and external information, can adapt to changing conditions in a timely and effective manner in proportion to its power. At this point, the aim is to automate the realization of this whole process to the greatest possible extent. In this context, the important developments in the last 20 years have been focusing on business intelligence, big data, deep learning, reinforcement learning, data intelligence, decision intelligence, automated decision-making, and other concepts and the development of application tools.From this point of view, under the title of “Data-driven decisions in enterprises – implications for business education and cases,” papers collected from various universities worldwide are included in this conference proceedings.

Rapid technological progress, shifting global markets, and a growing focus on sustainability are driving transformative changes in today’s business and institutional landscapes.
