Omar Al-Tabbaa is seeking a Research Assistant to support the project ‘Digitalisation for Sustainable Development: The Perspective of Internationalising UK SMEs’. The project explores how UK-based internationalizing SMEs can leverage new Digital Technologies (DTs) to advance four critical "firm-level" UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 1) SDG7: Affordable and Clean Energy; 2) SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; 3) SDG12: Responsible Consumption and Production; and 4) SDG13: Climate Action.
In addition, the project will explore the institutional complexities that arise from variations in regulatory and operational environments affecting the transnational activities of SMEs adopting these technologies. This research will include a systematic literature review, focused group discussions, a pilot study, and the creation of an advisory board to guide the project.
