The large digital incumbent, Google actively engages in transforming our daily life using digital technology, such as AI. The technology will enable us to be more communicative and help our life affluent by enhancing efficiency in information flows between users and between even those stakeholders. 

However, the convenience driven by efficiency of information flows would make us trapped within the net of digital technology. Considering the deep learning principles used in those services and products, the more 'users' use those 'things' the more such technology invades our daily life.  Human beings tend to train these 'things'.

We must start to discuss how vulnerable and fragile such human-made technology and artefacts would be in real life; and whether those humans who create these things with superb mathematics capabilities have considered the vulnerability of the mathematical algorithms embedded in those things .

VR technology will seriously come to our daily life thanks to Apple hardware devices. Though the company is seemingly seen and famous for the hardware devices, it shows how the company deal with software by exploiting its hardware devices. 
The app, Measure shows that physical materials that humans daily use and commonly are thought to be physical, now it comes to our daily life as a fluid digital technology-embedded intangible content.
The app may be a small clue that the company would actively join VR market by utilising its advanced hardware devices that sheep like Apple fans love  In this send, hardware therefore could be another digital platform, unlike we have thought that digital platform seems to be software or services, such as Android. 
It may await another digital innovation compelling VR market perhaps? 

A digital technology-empowered self driving car seems to be a fascinating invention that is designed and to evolve through to some extent collective human senses, which is deep learning. 
Yet the reliability still remains in doubt as operation of the digital artefact is still counted within human-made systems and senses, which is human-made algorithm. It may perhaps account for predictable risks that can be addressed within accumulated existing data that has been dealt within human-made worlds. 
However, unlike the confident speech made by presenters working at one of the biggest commercial companies in the world, what if the digital artefact, self-driving car are faced completely 'uncertain' situations beyond considerations of those human- made algorithm ; and what if the advanced software system cannot be perfectly supported by its physical partner which is hardware when it is confronted with such un-expectable situations?

Shenzhen in China lets us reconsider new meaning of digital platform. Digital platform  has been mostly addressed and discussed in software sides which have been led by US firm-dominant western platforms.
But the region, Shenzhen provides new insights about hardware led digital platform, which can lead to digital innovation in hardware sides. As looking into how those numerous hardware complements in the region are organised by which to utilise the region's own human-made systems and tacit facilitators, it lets us reconsider new concepts of hardware led digital platforms and organisation in the digital age. 

Digital technology- empowered organisational applications such as HR infrastructures embedded in organisational information system even change landscapes of recruiting processes. However, that is required us to reconsider an organisation as a digital artefact.
It is certain that digitalisation facilitates to open human-made worlds. The openness lets us connect us and share our ideas. But the various digital applications  also transform ways of organising of our artificial worlds including organisations and human-beings in them. 

In that, a question is raised. That is about whether digital technology- supported organisational applications and organisation itself can genuinely facilitate diversity and/or utilise heterogeneity for innovation with attributes of the openness.

In organisations, such digitising applications for recruitment of diverse human resources may be aimed to control their complex worlds in more efficient ways.  Diversity and heterogeneity in an organisation may be rather suppressed rather than enabled. It is because the adoption of the effective digitising tools and digitalising organisations are meant to manage growing complexity of this human-made artificial world. 
Openness of digitalising world may contribute to enhancing connectivity between the artificial worlds and allows us to explore all opportunities.  Yet it may create dilemmatic conflicts facing organisations that want to control human-made worlds efficiently.

This world become open yet the oneness is still limited by a certain elements of uncomfortable historical legacies, especially when it comes to considering the relationship between Korea and Japan. The two cities' story between Korea and Japan tell us about such ironical and fluctuated relations between openness and controlling, caused by unforgettable historical events in the two representative eastern asian countries (although most westerns do not recognise the Korean peninsula issues separately or found the country totally unknown). 
Pusan in South Korea perhaps represents the critical issue in the Eastern Asia

Don't judge only a book cover - another product 'manufactured' through harsh NPD process -Korean idol group. Is creative industry in South Korea really created and nurtured, or manufactured on their own way that reflects Korean cultures? 
'The methods' for massive and incremental achievement for Korean economy with rapid, precise and sophisticated technology skills may be applied to this K-POP music industry as well. 
Rapid prototyping(sometimes ignored), wide variation of product lines and glamorous looking products in pursuit of the best marketing performance seem to applied and adapted to this K-POP music industry. Debates on pros and cons of the method would be revealed only by the market itself in the future 

Digital enterprise, what a fancy word is for all innovators who admire to be like google people. Despite growing awareness of what a digitalisation is, most our real worlds are still driven and should be supported by tighter coupling hardware system and design, which is far away from the fluid and loose digital system. It may be rather to be said interdependent relationship. 
Unlike the cases that this article introduces,such as FMCG industry sector, digital enterprise is still challenging between controlling and openness that all ideal theorists want to see because it is hardly to think of how to crack down the physical role: Often, those idealist management consultancies who want to gain reputations from their prospective clients talk about those fancy terms with little consideration of reality of tight coupling organisational conditions 

It might be rather supposed to add a consideration of HOW TO CHANGE CONVENTIONAL ORGANISATIONAL LOGIC TO BECOME LIKE A DIGITAL ORGANISATION WITH 'Those seven habits of highly effective digital enterprises' 

Most of the Asian females who are educated in high level degree course, especially, Korean and Japanese, are desperately nowhere to go for their jobs. Like this article said this is the cultural phenomenon, which is masculine organizational cultures and passive attitudes of females. But this seems to be much harder to tackle on. This should be also viewed from different perspective. Those countries have achieved their economic successes with far much tighter condensed approaches for their development by driving incremental masculine manufacturing sector in short time. (Perhaps Korea is much shorter, so the M-shape is much more prominent than Japan). Maybe this achievement could be also said to be the reason why the stronger masculine cultural background can contribute to the magnificent achievement vice versa in those countries. Therefore, the industrial ecosystem driven by the masculinity is perhaps also the another challenging for female to get into the society as well....Yes, it seems much harder to change...ooops...yes..for short time that one governor attempts
