A chapter in Business and Management in Asia: Disruption and Change, 2024, pp 91-108 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The implications of digital disruption on Asia’s developing economies are examined in depth in this chapter. These economies are being put to the test by the significant changes brought on by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The chapter opens by discussing the historical background of these markets and the considerable influence of digital disruptions. The significance of digital technology in these developing economies is demonstrated by a comprehensive analysis of the relevant literature and by examples drawn from actual events. The next section breaks down what 4IR means for Asian developing economies, analyzing the positive and negative effects of technologies like automation, AI, the IoT, and blockchain. Potential resilience techniques and approaches are presented after the chapter acknowledges the obstacles to digital transformation, such as inadequate infrastructure, digital literacy gaps, and regulatory constraints. In order to better weather shocks, governments and businesses can utilize these strategies by investing in digital infrastructure and literacy and promoting policies that are conducive to digital change. The chapter concludes with case studies of effective digital transformation and resilience, each of which provides lessons learned and recommendations for future efforts. This chapter offers an in-depth exploration of digital disruption in developing Asian economies by seamlessly weaving theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence.
