Abstract: The purpose of this study is to shed light on the impact of global and local dynamics on digital transformation and therefore provide information on the growing higher education ecosys-tem in Azerbaijan. This study explores digital transformation of Azerbaijan higher education institutions in teaching and learning process as well as administrative issues, highlighting the complexities and multifaceted approach. The study analyses the key concerns in the digital transformation of Azerbaijan modern higher education and proposes an approach that de-scribes the driving factors of transformational changes as well as their effects. Based on the existing literature, we consider the processes of change in the contexts of globalisation, region-alization, the information society, the Internet revolution, government reforms, downsizing and restructuring, management practices, and the establishment of new funds. In addition, we view increased competition between universities as a dynamic factor influencing the trans-formation process. As well as, we identified that the literature approached the challenges from the perspectives of university governance and teaching-learning, research and development activities and partnerships, gaps between digital skills and knowledge for the digital economy. In the discussion part, specific suggestions were provided as well as potential areas were iden-tified for future research.
