Several authors address the emergence of a new socioeconomic structure arising from the restructuring of the capitalistic production mode. This phenomenon represents the transition from the industrial to the post-industrial production model, when productivity is associated with the generation, processing, accumulation, and utilization of knowledge in technology-supported processes. Within this transitional context, the theme of organizational change and its relationship with people management stand out in the academic scene, and many authors have been discussing these issues, emphasizing their ambiguities and contradictions (CASTELLS, 1999CASTELLS, M. The Network Society. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar Publishing, 1999.).
The transition between socioeconomic contexts and the recent relevance of the theme of organizational change bring several topics to light, such as the ways individuals construe and operate changes to their working conditions and how these changes affect the meanings people assign to their realities, to their work, and to themselves.
Digital transformation and technological innovation are realities and will dramatically change our society.
In this thematic issue of Cadernos EBAPE.BR, we present several articles that address Digital Transformation and technological change, and the many ways these phenomena are changing society. In addition, this issue features a dossier on Innovation, prepared by the journal’s editors PhD. Isabella Vasconcelos, and PhD. Hélio Arthur and the co-authors, Fabiana Braga Leal, Msc, and Leonardo Carvalho, Msc.
We invite you to read this thematic issue’s introductory piece, written by Professors Paulo Figueiredo (FGV EBAPE), Roberto Carlos Bernardes (FEI-SP), and Felipe Borine (USP), our guest editors for this issue of Cadernos EBAPE.BR.
We wish all our readers a happy new year 2020!
