This research is a case study research that uses a qualitative research design. study results underline the importance of the incremental innovation approach. Digitalization impacts public perceptions about transparency, speed, and accountability; willingness to accept changes, especially changes in the use of mobile phones (mobile phones) as needed; and resultant social impact.
