    While digital tools are not new to museum management, more activities are being performed through their use in order to attract visitors, enrich the cultural experience, vary the experience context, and innovate the cultural industry. However, these tools need to be tested in order to understand the effects they have on both museum offerings and visitors. Further perspectives and insights are needed on the implementation of these digital instruments in museums. The Handbook of Research on Museum Management in the Digital Era combines theoretical efforts and empirical research to contribute to the debate on museum management in a digital context. It further observes, tracks, and assesses the ongoing changes brought on by digital solutions. Covering topics such as organizational change catalysts, sustainability of cultural heritage, and phygital experience, this book is an excellent resource for museum managers, museum curators, computer specialists, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians

    Innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems’ viability is related to knowledge creation, exchange, and re-combination, and the pivotal role of universities in these contexts is widely recognised. Recently, scholars have directed attention to their role as entrepreneurial universities, with a focus on the propelling activities of their technology transfer offices. However, a clear analysis of universities’ roles in ecosystems is still missing. To fill this gap, we conduct a qualitative case study to investigate the different roles universities play during the emergence and development of an ecosystem, focusing on their co-evolution. As cultural industries are cogent examples of contexts where technologies are used with a more human-centric approach, we selected the high-technology district for the cultural heritage of Campania, a region in Southern Italy. The longitudinal and retrospective perspectives adopted allow us to highlight how the participants’ roles and the relationships among them are promoted and encouraged by universities. During the ecosystem emergence, universities co-evolve their roles, acting as initiators, facilitators, coordinators, and stimulators. This co-evolution is further supported by technology that develops solutions for collaboration and knowledge exchange

    Introduction

    Transformation in the science and technology field brings many changes; one of the biggest challenges is the interaction between multiple skills, tools, and competences. When we talk about the digital transformation, we know that it seeks to produce a better, faster, and more innovative way of pursuing business, social, and economic development. In this book, we discuss how digital transformation is involved in—and changing—the cultural heritage sector. The focus on new technologies implies not merely a matter of data digitization, storage, and use for the elaboration of a new digital strategy, but also how technologies are related to the transformation of cultural heritage sectors and market processes as a whole. There is a need to move to the forefront of cultural heritage efforts to understand and help firms and policymakers respond to the challenges of managing cultural heritage businesses in the new technology era
