Descrição
Resumo:[EN] The COVID-19 outbreak provided a glimpse of a future world in which digital interactions are critical, compelling organisations and individuals to increase their adoption of technology. Therefore, to gain a competitive edge, organisations need accurate, real-time responses from extensive data analysis to further develop their products and services or create entirely new business models. The rising dependence on technical services has created a gap between organisational offerings and objectives, especially for startups. Statistics reveal the high failure rate of startups in top-ranking countries such as the United States, Germany and Australia. A major reason for startup failure is a lack of business knowledge in the technical team, affecting the adaptability of the business with respect to technology. Australia is ranked eighth in the world in terms of its startup ecosystem because of its internal market dynamics and physical, commercial and legal infrastructure. Nevertheless, startup failure in Australia is significant. Therefore, this paper, based on desk research and an analysis of secondary data, presents digital transformation strategies aimed at reducing risks, creating sustainable business growth and providing a real-time view of business efficiency, resulting in reduced costs and improved performance.
