The Impact of Digital Transformation on Business Strategy

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to systematically review and summarize the literature that studies the impact of digital transformation on companies' business strategies, centered on the key capabilities for a successful digital strategy, as well as on the determinants of success. The systematic review of literature was based on a sample of 39 articles extracted from the Web of Science. The results indicate that leadership, innovation, and organizational structure are the key skills most referenced in the literature for the implementation of a digital business strategy. The trans-functional role of IT, as well as the strategic posture of the company, were also identified as determinants of success. This study provides us with a comprehensive analysis of the success factors of digitalization in companies and helps to identify potential research opportunities. The chapter ends with a research agenda for future studies.
