PurposeUbiquitous digital technologies are driving organisations to embrace non-traditional digitally transformed business models incessantly. Heterogeneous literature contributions have resulted in a spur in the research related to business transformation driven by digital technologies in recent years; consequently, the research under the digital transformation (DT), even though becoming a hotspot, remains very fragmented. The authors endeavour to holistically present the literature's intellectual structure under DT as a concept, its evolving journey and the emerging research streams in the business and management domains using the techniques of bibliometric analysis.Design/methodology/approachBy performing bibliometric analysis on 234 research articles published over the last 20 years in the DT domain, retrieved from Thompson Reuters Web of Science TM, this study culls out thorough insights from the citation, co-citation and keyword analysis. Further emerging research streams were evaluated using VOSviewer software.FindingsThe study depicts an overall incremental trend of year-on-year publications, authors' performance, publication journals, associated institutions and research driving countries, along with key insights from co-citation network analysis. Furthermore, the study evaluates four research areas – organisational impacts, applied applications and insights, operational processes and social aspects, comprising eighteen research streams that comprehensively cover-up research under the DT domain.Research limitations/implicationsThe study contributes to the literature of DT by amalgamating the status of the present research, but more importantly, by deriving the research areas and research streams, which can be further expanded by researchers as future research streams.Practical implicationsFor the practitioners, the study aims to act as a ready reckoner repository with practice-oriented literature references to facilitate them building knowledge and taking effective strategic decisions to harness the benefits of DT more proficiently.Originality/valueThis study illustrates the bibliometric structure of the DT literature and presents insights from the growth of the literature year-on-year.

“…2 The technological sophistication of the shipbuilding industry is often underestimated, because the frequency of innovations in this field is not as high as in others. 17 In any case, these developments cannot be easily measured and translated into figures as in other industries, which does not mean that there is no technological sophistication. However, other assets, such as distribution networks, are not as relevant in this industry as in others; low cost and technological sophistication being the main differentiating factors in this industry, 14 and like other sectors, being in continuous review of the technologies that can be implemented.…”

The objective of this research is to analyse the degree of implementation of the six dimensions of Marketing Promotion in shipbuilding sector and the relationship between this degree and performance. The combined analysis of all Marketing Promotion dimensions identifies an improvement in performance of the companies that have made the greatest effort in terms of Promotion, being this influence mainly notable among Asian competitors. The specific study of each dimension detects similar efforts conducted by shipyards in terms of Personal sale, Sales promotion and Sponsorship, while it reveals differences in the use of Advertising, Public Relations and Direct Marketing techniques.

“…Digital technology can be an enabler for growth that supports the next generation of vessels; however, it must be understood as a means to realize possibilities, not an end [85]. When introducing AM technology, there exist barriers for acquiring these pieces of equipment [61]. Despite the potential advantages or capabilities of the technology, companies are rarely capable to solely focus on the monetary value of acquisition, but also the cost of materials, operating cost, maintenance and the training of personnel to manage the system are also introduce barriers for successful technology acquisition.…”

As complex systems, maritime vessels generate and require the utilization of large amounts of data for maximum efficiency. Designing, developing, and deploying these systems in a digital world requires rethinking how people interact and utilize technology throughout all areas of the industry. With growing interests in Industry 4.0, there are broad opportunities for the incorporation and development of new digital solutions that will support the improvement and optimization of next generation systems. However, while different technologies have been deployed with various levels of success the current challenge is not generating data but being able to harmoniously integrate different data streams into the decision-making process. To support the development of next generation vessels, a comprehensive understanding of Maritime 4.0 is necessary. Current conceptions of 4.0 within the industry remain ambiguous and based on our research, have demonstrated a divergence in the levels of technological maturity and digital solutions in different industry sectors. This study leverages current state-of-the-art literature and a series of interviews to formulate a descriptive definition of Maritime 4.0 that incorporates technologies that can be integrated to support decision-making. Through a rigorous, empirically grounded, and contextually relevant approach, the contribution of this study is the establishment of an organized set of technologies and characteristics related to 4.0 and establishment of a practical definition.
