About
Hanhin Kim is a leading scholar in the study of digital transformation and innovation diffusion, with a particular focus on how next-generation digital technologies (NGDTs)—including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data, and 3D printing—reshape business ecosystems and societal structures. In their highly influential 2022 paper, “What's driving the diffusion of next-generation digital technologies?” (83 citations), Kim provides a foundational framework for understanding the firm-level and environmental factors that accelerate or hinder the adoption of these converging technologies. This work bridges a critical gap between classic diffusion theory and the unique, systemic nature of NGDTs, offering both empirical insights and a robust agenda for future research. Kim’s contributions have been widely recognized for their practical relevance to managers and policymakers navigating the Fourth Industrial Revolution. By illuminating the mechanisms behind technological convergence, Kim has established themselves as a pivotal voice in innovation studies, helping scholars and practitioners alike anticipate the transformative impact of emerging digital infrastructures on global competitiveness and economic growth.
