About the Doctoral Thesis:
The success of any organization is closely tied to the quality of its leadership. In recent years, increasing attention has been devoted to addressing societal challenges, including the creation of shared value. However, there is currently no unified understanding of strategic leadership among researchers. Digital technologies have significantly transformed organizational leadership and strategy. With the rise of automation and the transition to a digital economy, there may be a need to reassess existing theories or develop new ones.
This research aims to explore the impact of strategic leadership on the creation of shared value, examine how the use of digital technologies influences strategic leadership, and develop a strategic leadership model to facilitate the creation of shared value.
The author compares the business environments of Denmark and Latvia to address the research questions:
- What are the key characteristics of strategic leadership for creating shared value?
- How does strategic leadership enable the creation of shared value?
- What is the impact of implementing digital technologies on creating shared value?
The study offers new insights and understanding of how the defining characteristics of strategic leadership influence the creation of shared value and how these are altered by the implementation of digital technologies.
