The second edition of the Digital Transformation Barometer for Companies in the Valencian Community and Murcia, organized by the Chair of Business and Humanism of the University of Valencia joinly with SEIDOR, has been a resounding success.

This academic document presents an analysis of the degree of digital transformation of 183 companies that are already immersed in this process of comprehensive organizational change. It also describes the degree of data orientation of the person leading the organization's digital transformation process. Data orientation is an approach that emphasizes the importance of collecting and analyzing data to develop ideas and knowledge. Understood as a quality of people in management positions, data orientation is defined as the ability to make effective decisions based on the organization's ability to quickly and effectively obtain information about organizational performance, user behavior, and the environment. Data orientation is key to making decisions based on the analysis of information provided by big data analytics and the management of the correct use of new technologies that drive the digital transformation process of organizations.
This academic document examines the content of 50 corporate social responsibility reports published in 2020 and analyses the most frequently repeated themes. This is done from a dual perspective: on the one hand, from the dimensions of social responsibility and sustainability, and on the other, from the areas that allow us to understand a company's actions. The emotional state that these reports try to communicate is also analysed.
This book has a dual objective with regard to corporate sustainability: on the one hand, to provide tools to help companies integrate the principles of sustainability into both their strategic management and their daily operations; and, secondly, to raise awareness of the importance of preparing and disclosing non-financial reporting and sustainability reports, not only to comply with the growing regulations on the subject, but also to meet the high expectations that stakeholders have of the company as a key organisation in promoting sustainable development.
Additionally, this work includes a diagnostic study developed at the Paterna Technology Park to learn in greater detail about the practices in terms of sustainability, information transparency and non-financial reporting of the companies and other organizations that are hosted there.
