Understanding the implications of twin transition in firms

Abstract
Combining digital transition with green transition (the so called ‘twin transition’) is a desirable outcome in firms and is heavily promoted by policymakers. Yet, we do not fully understand how firms engage with these two distinct transitions taking place simultaneously, where they struggle and where there are opportunities to align the two processes for the benefit of the firm.

Focusing on the possible complementarities and trade-offs when adopting sustainability and  sophisticated forms of digitalisation (e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI), internet of things, robotics), this PhD project will examine how companies can grow, innovate and increase their performance whilst mitigating environmental impact.
