Original title: Digital transformation in business and management research: An overview of the current status quo
Digital transformationThe process of adapting to changes brought by digital technology. means adapting to a world shaped by digital technology. The paper reviews research articles in business and management journals rated at least two stars by the Chartered Association of Business Schools. It maps how the research themes have developed, then proposes a framework linking digital transformation research to areas of business and management. The authors describe that framework as a basis for further discussion and research.
Imagine sorting a pile of recipes by the kinds of meals they make. Some recipes fit more than one group, and the groups can change as new recipes appear. In this paper, the recipes are research articles, the groups are themes in digital transformation, and the sorting helps show how those themes connect to business and management.
Digital change affects companies, industries, cities, countries, and people, but research has often focused on only certain areas. This paper maps the work across business and management and offers a framework that can help researchers see how the areas connect.
The abstract does not describe the map's specific themes or findings, explain how articles were selected and analysed, or report how the proposed framework was evaluated. It presents the framework as a basis for further discussion and research, not as a final account.
