Abstract
This edited volume, the second in the "New Digital Work" series, addresses the critical and rapidly evolving concept of digital sovereignty within the context of corporate and organizational structures. The book analyzes the challenges and opportunities presented by digitalization, focusing on how companies can maintain control over their data, infrastructure, and strategic development in an environment dominated by global platform providers and complex supply chains. The volume is structured around four main themes: the Fundamentals of Digital Sovereignty, Organizational Challenges, the Role of Data and Technology, and Impacts on Employees and Skills. Key chapters investigate the legal and technical requirements for achieving digital autonomy, examining topics such as open-source solutions, cloud infrastructure dependence, and data governance models. A central argument is that digital sovereignty is not merely a technical issue but a strategic prerequisite for future competitiveness and resilience. The book provides practical insights and case studies on how organizations can develop a comprehensive sovereignty strategy, addressing the necessary cultural shift, skills development (especially in IT), and the establishment of robust data control mechanisms. Ultimately, the work serves as an essential guide for managers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to navigate the strategic implications of digitalization on corporate autonomy..
