This edited volume provides deep insight into theoretical and empirical evidence on how digital technologies and high-tech brands are interrelated. It traces the mutual links between these two phenomena, identifies the multidimensionality of interdependencies, and shows the reader how and why new technologies are the driving factors of creation and global dissemination of high-tech brands. In this context, it also refers to various types of economic and social networks that, on the one hand, are the products of digital technologies, while on the other enforce global visibility of high-tech brands. The book contributes to the present state of knowledge, offering the reader broad evidence on how digital technologies impact the process of high-tech brands' nascence and how their growing role and global exposure influence networked economies and societies. It sets out to deliver a bridge between brand management and economical approaches to understanding how digital technologies and high-tech brands are interrelated. This multidisciplinary approach creates a complex compilation of different views and perspectives that sheds new light on the high-tech brands' phenomena of being an input and output of technology-driven economies. Technology Brands in the Digital Economy is written for scholars and researchers from a wide variety of disciplines but especially for those addressing issues of brands and economic development and growth, social development, and the role of technological progress in broadly defined socio-economic progress. It will also be an invaluable source of knowledge for graduate and postgraduate students in a variety of areas such as economic and social development, information and technology, worldwide studies, social policy, and comparative economics.

This book offers a pioneering exploration of how the synergy between knowledge, learning, and collaboration (the KLC approach) drives organizational intelligence and adaptability. Grounded in empirical research and case studies, it examines how the impact of the KLC approach varies based on company culture (adhocracy, clan, market, and hierarchy) and management levels (team, division and organization).Readers will discover actionable strategies for fostering collective intelligence and adapting to change, especially in the context of remote work and AI-driven environments. The book highlights the critical role of leaders as architects of company culture and provides practical guidance for aligning culture with business goals. Case studies bring the concepts to life, offering valuable lessons for designing and sustaining a growth-agile mindset.This research-rich volume is an essential resource for researchers, academics, and students in organizational change, knowledge management, and strategy, as well as business leaders seeking to enhance their company’s collective intelligence and adaptability.
