Around the world, the process of business digitalization is considered one of the biggest challenges for the economies of countries, because such a process costs a lot and weighs heavily on business and state budgets. Enterprises can easily adopt new technologies in production processes and at all economic levels thanks to digital technology, which also enables them to dominate markets. The importance of the research topic and the problems that digital management addresses are determined by the speed with which the information, communication and economic domains are developing. Nowadays, the use of digital tools and platforms allows companies to save costs, create competitive business advantages and, most importantly, respond quickly to changes in internal and external environments.
