- Abstract summary: societal-level digital transformation (SDT) is of imminent relevance and theoretical interest.
We contribute to theorizing SDT in the form of a design theory consisting of six interconnected design principles.
These design principles articulate the interplay and tensions of accommodating over time increased diversity and flexibility in digital solutions.

- Abstract: With societal challenges, including but not limited to human development,
equity, social justice, and climate change, societal-level digital
transformation (SDT) is of imminent relevance and theoretical interest. While
building on local-level efforts, societal-level transformation is a nonlinear
extension of the local level. Unfortunately, academic discourse on digital
transformation has largely left SDT unaccounted for. Drawing on more than 25
years of intensive, interventionist research engagement with the digital
transformation of public healthcare information management and delivery in more
than 80 countries in the Global South, we contribute to theorizing SDT in the
form of a design theory consisting of six interconnected design principles.
These design principles articulate the interplay and tensions of accommodating
over time increased diversity and flexibility in digital solutions, while
simultaneously connecting local, national, and regional/ global efforts.

Conceptualising Adverse Digital Incorporation [0.0]
The connection between digital and inequality has traditionally been understood in terms of the digital divide or of forms of digital inequality whose core conceptualisation is exclusion.
This paper argues that, as the global South moves into a digital development paradigm of growing breadth and depth of digital engagement, an exclusion worldview is no longer sufficient.
The paper argues the need for a new concept: "adverse digital incorporation", meaning inclusion in a digital system that enables a more-advantaged group to extract disproportionate value from the work or resources of another, less-advantaged group.

Based on this index, we also propose an infrastructure resource deployment strategy by minimizing the average imbalance index of any geographical segment.

This work explores the various DT features and current approaches, the shortcomings and reasons behind the delay in the implementation and adoption of digital twin.
The major reasons for this delay are the lack of a universal reference framework, domain dependence, security concerns of shared data, reliance of digital twin on other technologies, and lack of quantitative metrics.
