About the Publisher & Book
EuroMid Press is an international academic publisher dedicated to scholarly excellence in business, technology, and management. Digital transformation has become a strategic priority for governments, organizations, universities, healthcare systems, and financial institutions across the developing world. Yet, persistent organizational inertia, institutional voids, and behavioral resistance continue to challenge standard adoption frameworks.
