This study aims to comprehensively analyze the process and implementation of digital transformation in Economics Education learning at Universitas Negeri Manado. The study focuses on the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation, as well as the identification of supporting and inhibiting factors and the perceptions of lecturers and students toward changes in the learning system. This research employed a qualitative method using a case study approach. The findings reveal that digital transformation in the Economics Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Manado has been implemented through the POAC management framework (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling) based on the university’s Strategic Plan 2020–2024. Lecturers perceived digital transformation as shifting their role from knowledge providers to learning facilitators, while students appreciated the flexibility of digital access despite reporting technical obstacles and reduced social interaction. The study concludes that digital transformation at Universitas Negeri Manado remains predominantly focused on administrative digitization and is still progressing toward a more substantive transformation capable of reshaping institutional culture and pedagogical practices comprehensively.
