Created from the fruitful cooperation between application-oriented research and daily business practice, this volume offers solutions, ideas and impulses for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the chapter "The HR function - a "digital failure"? Ilka Heinze and Thomas Henschel highlight the pent-up demand of human resource management in digitization and discuss tasks and responsibilities of the HR function in the digital transformation.
