As in the industrial revolution, the world has entered a process of great change with the introduction of the internet into our lives. Digitalization emerges as a process of transforming digitized resources with an integrated information technology infrastructure into new revenue, growth, and operational results that will add value to the company. Digitalization, which was more on the agenda during the Covid-19 pandemic experienced by the whole world in 2020, is used to develop new business models, to combine information, digital technologies, and company resources with new combinations for unique customer experiences, to create new products and services, and to increase the efficiency of company resources.
 
Organizations around the world have entered a digital transformation, which requires adapting to new conditions and expectations and being ready for changes. Even the most successful organizations face serious challenges in this transformation. For this reason, scientific studies on digitalization and digital transformation are becoming important not only for academicians but also for decision-makers.
 
The 1st International Congress on Digital Business, Management, and Economics (ICDBME2021) aims to bring together studies in the field of social sciences to contribute scientifically to the digital transformation process. In this context, studies on digitalization and digital transformation in the fields of business, management, finance, and economics will be accepted.
 
ICDBME2021 will be held online between 8-9 October 2021, hosted by Tarsus University Faculty of Applied Sciences.  Our congress is organized in cooperation with regional universities: Karamanoğlu Mehmet Bey University, Mersin University, Necmettin Erbakan University, and Osmaniye Korkut Ata University.
