Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08
Abstract
Purpose: The manufacturing sector in Ghana has become increasingly important to the country's economic growth, driven by digital transformation and innovation. This research aims to explore the complexities of digital transformation within Ghanaian manufacturing companies, with a specific focus on the moderating role of digital leadership. Design/Methodology/Approach: This conceptual paper presents a framework that integrates socio-technical systems theory and the upper echelon theory. This framework offers a detailed understanding of how digital transformation, digital leadership, organizational adaptation, and business model innovation interact within the Ghanaian manufacturing sector. Findings: The Ghanaian manufacturing sector, a significant contributor to the country's GDP, has seen substantial growth, largely due to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, many industries within the sector face challenges in embracing the digital age, including inadequate technological infrastructure and limited access to funding. The Ghanaian government has responded with policies to enhance digital capabilities and innovation, positioning the country for digital readiness. Originality: This paper contributes to the field by providing practical strategies for leadership development and decision-making within manufacturing organizations. It also advances theoretical perspectives and offers empirical insights specific to the Ghanaian context. Overall, this paper serves as a valuable resource for manufacturing leaders, policymakers, and researchers navigating digital transformation, innovation, and leadership in Ghana's manufacturing sector, with broader implications for emerging economies globally.
