Abstract

Digital Disruption (DD) has become a hot topic in recent years, yet detailed research is surprisingly lacking. The literature offers almost no insights into how DD occurs at the industry level and what industry factors influence it. This paper advances knowledge of DD by developing and testing a configurational theory. Using a multi-method research design, we identify two types of DD and four industry factors (downstream DD, digitally enabled structural conflict, transferability of core competitive elements, and industry player size) that contingently lead to the different types of DD. We integrate those findings into a configurational theory that describes causal recipes of how these factors or conditions combine to produce the outcome of transformational DD and destructive DD. The theory offers important implications for researchers and practitioners. The research also contributes methodologically by demonstrating the merits of combining grounded theory with qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to expand the theory-building potential of QCA.

数字颠覆的配置理论
近年来,"数字颠覆"(DD)已成为一个热门话题,但令人惊讶的是,这方面的详细研究却十分缺乏。文献几乎没有对行业层面的数字颠覆是如何发生的以及哪些行业因素会对其产生影响提供任何见解。本文通过发展和检验一种配置理论,增进了对 DD 的了解。通过采用多种方法的研究设计,我们确定了两种类型的 DD 和四种行业因素(下游 DD、数字化促成的结构性冲突、核心竞争要素的可转移性以及行业参与者的规模),这些因素会偶然导致不同类型的 DD。我们将这些发现整合到一个配置理论中,该理论描述了这些因素或条件如何结合在一起,从而产生变革性 DD 和破坏性 DD 结果的因果关系。该理论为研究人员和从业人员提供了重要启示。这项研究还在方法论方面做出了贡献,证明了将基础理论与定性比较分析(QCA)相结合以扩大 QCA 理论建设潜力的优点。

期刊介绍: The Information Systems Journal (ISJ) is an international journal promoting the study of, and interest in, information systems. Articles are welcome on research, practice, experience, current issues and debates. The ISJ encourages submissions that reflect the wide and interdisciplinary nature of the subject and articles that integrate technological disciplines with social, contextual and management issues, based on research using appropriate research methods.The ISJ has particularly built its reputation by publishing qualitative research and it continues to welcome such papers. Quantitative research papers are also welcome but they need to emphasise the context of the research and the theoretical and practical implications of their findings.The ISJ does not publish purely technical papers.
