It is no surprise that research on digital transformation (DT) has raised vast interest among academics in recent decades. Countries, cities, industries, companies, and people all face the same ...challenge of adapting to a digital world. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, map the thematic evolution of the DT research in the areas of business and management, because existing research in these areas to date has been limited to certain domains. To achieve this, articles were identified and reviewed that were published in the Chartered Association of Business Schools’ (ABS) ≥ 2-star journals. Based on these findings, the second objective of this paper will be to propose a synergistic framework that relates existing research on DT to the areas of business and management, which will help form the evolutionary perspective taken in this paper. Considering the emerging development of the topic under investigation, the framework is understood as a sound basis for continued discussion and forthcoming research.
•This article maps the thematic evolution of current research on digital transformation in business and management.•217 articles from leading business and management journals are analyzed using diverse methodological procedures.•A synergistic framework linking current research on digital transformation with business and management is proposed.
The rapid advancement of information and communication technologies is driving a swift transition towards digital transformation (DT) in public services globally. This paper investigates Brazil's ...approach to DT through its Startup Gov.br program, which employs startup principles to drive digital innovation within federal government agencies. Drawing upon interviews with key stakeholders and analysis of publicly available documents, the study reveals the program's characteristics and its integration into the current IT governance structure of the federal government. The results indicate that the program effectively addresses capacity constraints within government agencies, fostering strategic projects and long-term cultural change. By examining this novel approach, the paper contributes to the literature on startups in the public sector and offers insights into how governments can leverage innovative strategies for effective digital transformation.
•Startup culture is utilized to drive digital transformation in the public sector.•Key elements of this approach include UX design and multidisciplinary, focused teams.•A supporting organization manages portfolio management, temporary server hiring, and guides agencies in collaborating with startups.•This startup approach has enhanced digital transformation in the government by deploying more impactful services and increasing user numbers.
The literature traditionally has focused its attention on the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurial activity. From this perspective, new innovations are accompanied by digital ...transformations that enhance value creation. However, it is also important to consider the effect of digital dividends on society overall as well as on entrepreneurship activity. Studies generally do not address this latter possibility. This paper analyses the theoretical and quantitative effects of digital transformation and digital dividends on entrepreneurial activity, that is, the broader developmental benefits that using these technologies brings, in the shape of digital transformation. Partial least square (PLS) estimation is used to develop an empirical estimation for the case of 29 European countries.
Strategies and means for selecting and implementing digital technologies that realize firms’ goals in digital transformation have been extensively investigated. The recent surge in artificial ...intelligence (AI) technologies has amplified the need for such investigation, as they are being increasingly used in diverse organizational practices, creating not only new opportunities for digital transformation but also new challenges for managers of digital transformation processes. In this article, I present a framework intended to assist efforts to address one of the first of these challenges: assessment of organizational AI readiness—that is, an organization’s ability to deploy AI technologies to enable digital transformation, in four key dimensions: technologies, activities, boundaries, and goals. I show that this framework can facilitate analysis both of an organization’s current sociotechnical AI status and of the prospects for the technology’s fuller value-adding, sociotechnical deployment. The AI readiness framework invites fuller theorizing of the roles that AI can—and will—play in digital transformation.
Digital technology has changed organizations in an irreversible way. Like the movable type printing accelerated the evolution of our history, digitalization is shaping organizations, work environment ...and processes, creating new challenges leaders have to face. Social science scholars have been trying to understand this multifaceted phenomenon, however, findings have accumulated in a fragmented and dispersed fashion across different disciplines, and do not seem to converge within a clear picture. To overcome this shortcoming in the literature and foster clarity and alignment in the academic debate, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the contribution of studies on leadership and digitalization, identifying patterns of thought and findings across various social science disciplines, such as management and psychology. It clarifies key definitions and ideas, highlighting the main theories and findings drawn by scholars. Further, it identifies categories that group papers according to the macro level of analysis (e-leadership and organization, digital tools, ethical issues, and social movements), and micro level of analysis (the role of C-level managers, leader's skills in the digital age, practices for leading virtual teams). Main findings show leaders are key actors in the development of a digital culture: they need to create relationships with multiple and scattered stakeholders, and focus on enabling collaborative processes in complex settings, while attending to pressing ethical concerns. With this research, we contribute to advance theoretically the debate about digital transformation and leadership, offering an extensive and systematic review, and identifying key future research opportunities to advance knowledge in this field.
Given the rapid development of the digital economy, clarifying the relationship between corporate digital transformation and trade financing behaviour and identifying the mechanism underlying the ...effect have become urgent theoretical and practical problems. Therefore, we gather unique data from listed companies in China to investigate how a corporation’s digital transformation strategy affects its trade credit financing. We find that a corporate digital transformation significantly reduces trade credit financing, and that this effect varies greatly among industries and enterprises. Furthermore, we identify asset specificity and bank credit as the mechanisms of this effect. Finally, we verify the effect of digital transformation on two dimensions: corporate innovation and value. Overall, these findings enrich research on digital transformation and trade credit financing, and provide important practical insights for enterprises to efficiently allocate their credit funds and reduce their financial risk through digital transformation.
Digital transformation is one of the key challenges facing contemporary businesses. The need to leverage digital technology to develop and implement new business models forces firms to reevaluate ...existing capabilities, structures, and culture in order to identify what technologies are relevant and how they will be enacted in organizational processes and business offerings. More often than not, these profound changes require firms to revisit old truths as they develop strategies that thread the needle between beneficial innovation and harmful disruption. This article uses the Internet of Things (IoT) as a backdrop to demonstrate the concerns associated with transformative technologies and offers five recommendations as to how firms can develop the strategies needed for digital transformation and become digitally conscious: (1) Start small and build on firsthand benefits; (2) team up and create competitive advantage from brand recognition; (3) engage in standardization efforts; (4) take responsibility for data ownership and ethics; and (5) own the change and ensure organization-wide commitment. As such, this article shows that digital transformation should be a top management priority and a defining trait of corporate business strategy, and that by becoming digitally conscious, firms may get a head start on their transformation journey.
The digital transformation of enterprises is the key to conforming to the trends of the times and realizing reform and innovation. Digital transformation will change the enterprise risk and ...information environment, and also bring challenges to the audit business. This study takes China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021 as a sample, starting from the perspective of audit delay, and empirically tests the impact of enterprise digital transformation on audit efficiency. The results of the study found that the higher the degree of enterprise digital transformation, the more serious the audit delay and the lower the audit efficiency. Further research found that in non-high-tech enterprises and when audited by non-international “Big 4” and accounting firms without digital expertise, the effect of enterprise digital transformation on reducing audit efficiency is more obvious. This study expands the research field of enterprise digital transformation and auditing and provides empirical evidence for improving auditing efficiency.
