The main aim of this report is to identify and describe the idea of digital leadership. For the study, the effects of digital leaders' traits and experience on the digitalization process will be examined. Different multinational and global businesses have been examined to apply the concept of digital leadership to their businesses. In this paper, with the goal of an organizational literature review, we analyze the concept of digital leadership. The paper seeks to identify the digital leadership concept; to analyze these abilities and their impacts deeply in the new digital age. As a result of detailed literature research, digitalization and technological developments lead businesses to transform organizational structures, processes, business models, and strategies. Digital leadership is crucial for organizations to survive in the new digital era by adapting and transforming business strategies. To accomplish business objectives and successfully drive the digital business transformation, digital leaders use and enhance the company's digital assets. Digital leaders have different abilities and perspectives compared to traditional leaders. However, many organizations do not understand digital leaders' value, leading to poor performance and unrecoverable failures. This research paper demonstrates a strong link between digital leadership and corporate success and productivity, following the analysis and clarification of the digital leadership concept generated in the modern age and the review of variable business strategies and positioning of the leadership concept in different sectors.

“…Because the widespread adoption of digital technologies can significantly improve product and service performance in a variety of ways, digital transformation has the potential to influence various stages of the innovation process in complex and causally ambiguous ways [35,36]. According to Ardito et al [37], digitalization directly affects product and process innovation performance; Lee [38] argues that firms benefit from the use of ERP, product management, and other systems. Ferreira et al [30] demonstrate a strong correlation between process digitization and firm innovation using a sample of 938 firms.…”

The structure of the manufacturing industry has forced manufacturing companies to understand the importance of digitalization and servitization transformation, in terms of production and R&D. In this study, we examine the relationship between servitization, digitization, and enterprise innovation performance through the lens of dynamic capabilities within enterprises. We also discuss the impact of the transformation servitization strategy on business innovation, and the mechanisms by which it impacts business innovation performance. The study’s findings indicate that servitization significantly contributes to innovation performance, and digitalization acts as a mediating mechanism between the proposed relationships. Thus, this article argues for the integration and growth of servitization and digitization.

How Information Technology Investment Affects Green Innovation in Chinese Heavy Polluting Enterprises

Promoting green innovation is an effective way to solve the increasingly serious environmental pollution problems in emerging economies. Information technology is constantly changing the operation mode of enterprises; however, whether information technology investment helps promote enterprises’ green innovation is still an important issue to be studied. According to resource-based and knowledge integration theory, this study constructs data from Chinese A-share listed heavy polluting enterprises during 2010–2018, adopting the panel data Tobit model to investigate the nexus between information technology investment and green innovation. Our empirical results demonstrate that the amount of information technology investment is positively correlated with the emerging levels of green patents in Chinese heavy polluting enterprises, and this positive correlation only significantly exists in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and enterprises with a strong sense of environmental responsibility and strict environmental regulation. The findings of this study help understand in depth how information technology investment affects enterprises’ green innovation and its boundaries, which also have important policy implications for government departments and enterprises to make better use of information technology to deal with the challenge of environmental pollution.
