Introduction
Problem statement:-
Research objective:-
Hypothesis statement:-
When businesses and the way they operate shift from their traditional mode of operation and management to
the modern and technology oriented ways of operation, the transitions referred to as Digital Transformation
or disruption1.It basically has more impact on first world than the the other world as the first world people are
developed nations and than their are third world people who are developing.
Many traditional organizations can’t meet these expectations. As a result, attackers born in the digital age can
swoop in and disrupt the market through rapid delivery of digital products and services combined with advanced
algorithms and full access to information2.
Digital transformation is the profound transformation of business and organizational activities, processes,
competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and
their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in
mind3.Todays management has evolved and is not only depending on traditional way but today’s business is
reshaping and it has took the face of digitization.To prove this we can see here that” “Digitization requires
rethinking among all participants. As the digitization partner for the customer, the classic system integrator
faces the challenge to be the “growth engine” already in the bidding phase in order to support the customers
on their way to digital business processes.”4Digitization has become an integral part of today’s society.
People love all things digital, and as customers hope for the same approach from businesses. They want to
interact with banks, insurance companies, mobile providers and town administrations through PCs and
mobile devices, expecting a seamless user experience5.

It is fair to say that digital has been disruptive influence for enterprises due to wholesale changes required to
take advantage of emerging tech and connected infrastructures. A survey by Capgemini Consulting found that
just seven percent of companies have become “truly” digital and that many still lack “digital dexterity6”
The new digital lifestyle means you can work from anywhere, at any time. You can work from just about
anywhere with a wifi-signal and a laptop. This makes it easier for employers to hire those in other parts of the
country or even the world, increasing the talent pool available7.
Today’s business needs productivity,and business must always go for upgradation whenever there is a need
but the problem is the mode of adaptation. Business today has been moving toward digitization but there are
ways and ways of digitization which can be seen and implemented in different manner in todays business.
The real imperative is that organization needs to pursue innovation to disrupt their own business model
before the competition does. Without innovation strategies, companies will lose their competitive advantage
in increasingly competitive world. There is no time to lose, as technology change accelerates exponentially,
new digital platforms devices are emerging8.
Business today can’t avoid the changing scenario and by seeing the volatility of market it needs to be updated
but truly it has changed the view towards business.
The rapid pace of digitization is transforming the component hardware-driven automotive sector to a software- and
solutions-focused industry, accelerated by consumers' evolving digital lifestyle expectations and demands for new and
innovative services9. Digitization, means converting data at machine level analog into a user friendly readable
digital format. It may involve integration of old skills and new technologies and trends. There are a lot of benefits
such as overhead costs reducing by a whopping 80% and improved response turnaround times 10.

The new game is to think about the business model and strategy for not just the company but the entire
ecosystem. You have to conceive and build a new platform and reshape partners in the ecosystem in ways
that would not be possible without digitization and algorithms11.
Although digital transformation will vary widely based on organizations' specific challenges and demands,
there are a few constants and common themes among existing case studies and published frameworks that all
business and technology leaders should consider as they embark on digital transformation12.
One example of company that has undergone successful digital transformation is Nespresso. The maker of
specialty coffee machines, an operating unit of Switzerland-based Nestle Group, deployed cloud-based crm
system, offering customers omnichannel access to shopping,customer service. They can reach company
whether they use the website,mobile device, visit store13.If your company has not been applying digital
technologies over the last 40 years, you don't exist. The time-share, mainframe, departmental computing, client-server,
PC, ERP, Internet, cloud, and mobile eras are all old news today. But the adoption of these technologies doesn't mean
you're digitally transformed14.
Even if you’re running company in historically non-technical industry, doesn’t mean you can’t adopt digital mindset.
You don’t need to be software company to think like one.
Consider which processes can be digitalised and whether this would save your business time/money. There’s also value
in considering what your customers prefer15.
The strategy must integrate business and IT needs and establish a collective leadership vision16.

• Expansion into new industries and markets:- Extend the business’ reach virtually
• Pervasive digitization of products,services:- Accelerate the way products and services are conceived
• Realize value from digital platforms :-Realize more value from underutilized sources17.
Digitization, means converting data at machine level analog into a user friendly readable digital format. It
may involve integration of old skills and new technologies and trends. There are a lot of benefits such as
overhead costs reducing by a whopping 80% and improved response turnaround times18.
Digitization has an impact on companies in various sectors. In each case the impact is different one which
makes it essential for companies to have good understanding and view of what they face and how digitization
will affect their company: which opportunities can be seized and which threats to faced?20 Digitization has
affected almost every industry during the past decade. The unprecedented pace at which digital
technologies spread and penetrate society, individual life, and businesses specifically puts mature
companies at risk21.

Booz Co. quantified the impact of digitization by creating an index that scores digitization by country. The
analysis measures the level of digitization and its actual impact on economic and social factors. The research
also further highlights fact that countries have increased their digitization level have realized gains in
economies22.“Digital transformation closes the gap between what digital customers already expect and what
analog businesses actually deliver.”23They are no longer happy with getting information the traditional way.
Everything must be done with immediacy, and information needs to be ubiquitous and instantly available.
This is true for both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) models24.
when science and technology meet social and economic systems, you tend to see something akin to what the late Stephen Jay
Gould called “punctuated equilibrium” in his description of evolutionary biology. Something that has been stable for a long
period is suddenly disrupted radically—and then settles into a new equilibrium25.
Technological innovations leads to what we call technology disruptions. But transformation is not just about
technology innovations and their disruption on the business. It is also about how these technological
innovations are adopted and used26.

Different sectors benefitted / will benefit if they use the digital platform.
The technology sector comes out on top — no surprise. Right behind it are media, finance, professional
services,which have far more digital capabilities than the rest of economy. On top of these macro-level
differences, we see even lagging sectors have standout firms that are pushing the frontier forward for
everyone29."Companies are looking at moving target," the institute tells. "But there is no opting out of
imperative to go digital. The opportunities and operational benefits are big—and the more risk of all is being
disrupted while sitting on the shores30.

Digital transformation links everyone in global network. The companies can verify suitable partner
companies and collaborate with them quickly through digital transformation. It helps data to flow over
broadband technology, can be accessed anywhere. It helps the company grow and provide various
opportunities, direct communication with customers, through multiple channels32.With reference to India it is
been said that There was unanimity among all the participants that USD 1-trillion digital economy is an
understatement. India has the immense potential to go to USD 2 to 3 to 4 trillion digital economy potential,"
Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters after meeting with top industry
leaders33. Digitization is the way ahead everyone wants to save time, every business want to excel and the
only solution prevailing in future and many more to come is digital. Its no rocket science the technology has
evolved so much that business have to adapt it otherwise may loose.Yes there are some challenges while
adapting this platform such as huge job cuts, initially it will incur huge investment, intense competition but
never the less it will have greater advantage too such as later on low cost ,increase in productivity, result
oriented and many more.Digitalisation makes sticking to a business strategy much harder. In the blink of an
eye, all success can vanish because of a new digital innovation that seems to have miraculously popped up
overnight. Digitalisation innovates entire systems, not only a product or service34.
Innovation push: Cloud registering and the tremendous data preparing hardware it requires, is growing
quickly.
Financial advantages: The monetary advantages to be caught through digitization are quantifiable. A surge of
capital has filled the new digitization innovations and organizations, and the general population markets
remunerate early movers with remarkable valuations

Every research work involves some or the other challenges. We also faced some problems.
Hence, some of the limitations were:
People did not share their views freely and openly. In fact, some of them refused
to fill the questionnaire.
Data available for conducting the study was very less as compared to the standard
data one required to do normal research study. We had time limitations for
preparing this project i.e 3 months.

CONCLUSION
Digitization is really changing the way of business, while the research is showing that
traditional way still have strong hold in modern business also but what important here is that
the share of tradional way of business is declining while lot of business are heading towards
digitization such as startups .
Large business enterprises will take time to digitized itself,but they will and they have to
because digitization has proven its credibility and capability where it stands apart from
traditional business as it is productive,cost effective and many more.
Each and every sector is digitizing itself then may it be manufacturing or finance or banking
marketing and others they have understood the need of hour of digitization but while
researching it has come to picture that traditional way of doing is still prevalent and many
business run on traditional way if we look towards fmcg sector it is till exploring market in
traditional way but it is reforming.
Traditional way of business will be washed out one day but not immediately,various business
think that business must be upgraded and in digitized way will help them to be more
productive and effective.
