We are now facing a process of digital transformation transition to digitalization in nearly all the services of our globalized economy. How can this phenomenon be understood from an organizational perspective? The transition to digitalization is not only about switching from paper to the electronic environment, but it also affects the governance of the entire organizational ecosystem.  This means that all processes of the value chain should be integrated with IT. The new industrial revolution will have a strong impact on the relation of BPM and e-Commerce because it moves manufacturing and production from a centralized to a decentralized paradigm.  This will require widespread adoption of smart interconnection of machinery and systems, not only at the same production site but also across the entire organizational ecosystem.  An enormous potential opens up for innovation in business processes and in the way, society interacts at a global level.
