Barriers to Digital Transformation in Higher Education: An Interpretive Structural Modeling Approach

This paper presents a study of developing a framework using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) for the barriers to digital transformation in higher education in a particular context: Indonesia. This study has identified 55 contextual relationships between the 11 key barriers and has developed five levels of the structure hierarchy. This study also proposed a four-phase strategy that will guide us to improve the strategy of the implementation of digital transformation in higher education in Indonesia. This research gives contribution by providing a better understanding of barriers and the interrelationships among barriers in the implementation of the digital transformation in the higher education domain.
