The COVID-Pandemic has demonstrated the vulnerability and fragility of our high-tech society and has redirected scientific research of human health, social environment and the economy. Technology offers effective responses to the medical threats. The world-wide challenges posed by the Corona virus have demonstrated the importance of Information Management which is reflected in the IDIMT 2021 conference by explicitly addressing crises and pandemics. Based on a double blind two-step review process we have selected 45 submitted papers plus 11 keynote papers and 2 invited papers with a totality of more than 110 co-authors. The authors have come from 12 different countries: Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine. The programme ran in two parallel streams and was connected virtually to off-site participants. We have chosen the following topics: Digitalization and Industry 4.0 – Changes Caused by COVID-19? Innovations and Strategies in a Pandemic Era Digital Transformation in Crisis Management Social Media, Fake News, Myths and Ethics Digital Health – Emergency Support for Victims and First Responders Smart Supply Chain Cyber Security in a Digital World Performance and Sustainability Management and Corporate Social Responsibility Trust in Smart Robotics and Autonomous Systems COVID-19‘s Impact on Enterprise Software Development COVID-19‘s Influence on Learning and Teachingweiterlesen
