Digital leadership and enterprise transformation
Study enterprise architecture, data governance, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, connected operations and the institutional capabilities required to manage technology-enabled change.
Research studies, papers and teaching materials related by their questions and methods. A cross-disciplinary connection does not imply that a study was conducted within every linked sector.
A joint applied study of an educational platform for young learners. The underlying research brings programming environments, learning pathways, assessment, data management and operational design together within a proposed digital ecosystem for introductory coding skills.
Read the research overviewDigital platforms and AI systems are reshaping where legal authority is exercised. This paper explores conflicts of jurisdiction, extraterritorial rules and data governance, with particular attention to regulatory interactions involving Russia and China.
Read the research overviewA practical research pathway for experienced managers: frame an organisational problem, test assumptions against evidence, assess strategic options and turn the analysis into a coherent applied DBA dissertation.
Read the research overviewA research pathway connecting corporate governance with digital regulation. Two independent studies provide complementary perspectives on authority, accountability and institutional coordination across borders.
Read the research collectionA two-part doctoral manuscript develops an integrated model of preventive care: clinical risk assessment, personalised support, multidisciplinary organisation, digital monitoring and the economics of a premium clinic.
Read the research overviewAn applied dissertation examines how strategic intent, organisational capabilities, delivery processes and feedback can be coordinated across a digital company’s operating model.
Read the research overviewA thematic reading of separately attributed clinic-management manuscripts examines the organisational, patient and social consequences of digital change in healthcare.
Read the research overviewA comparative dissertation examines digital tourism ecosystems in the Asia-Pacific region and the conditions for adapting their practices to Kazakhstan.
Read the research overviewPlanned studies from the Academy's 80-project agenda. Each detailed page contains a research problem, hypothesis, proposed methods, work packages and sources.
