Many managers are currently asking themselves two central questions: on the one hand, how should companies integrate ecological and social responsibility; on the other hand, how should they deal with digital changes. Most often, the first question is seen as a moral one and the second as a strategic one - yet they are intertwined. Dr Ali Aslan Gümüsay, CSS member and head of the Research Group Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Society at the Humboldt Institute for Internet & Society, puts forward 3 theses on how businesses can learn to navigate these questions:

• Learning to deal with increasing complexity in a sustainable way
• Less digital and more digitalisation strategy
• Leadership via and of technology

You can find more details on the three theses here on the website of the VHB [in German].
