This book shows in an outstanding clarity the already ongoing changes due to digitalization. It becomes clear that disruption is manageable through actively driven digitalization. In practice, however, disruption will primarily affect those who show themselves to be passive. The cases presented in this book underline that courage to change is the requirement of practice.
