Abstract

This study investigates the interconnectedness of Digital Sustainability (DS) and Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR), through a dual-track systematic literature review, analyzing 202 scholarly works from Web of Science and Scopus. The review is based both on bibliometric and content analyses in order to map current knowledge on these two theoretical constructs.

By collecting and comparing definitions and key topics, the review revealed that DS and CDR are treated separately in the current literature, missing their potential synergies—DS often overlooks ethical implications, while CDR neglects broader sustainability impacts. However, notable convergences emerged, leading to the development of an integrated Corporate Digital Sustainability (CDS) framework. This framework leverages digital technologies as a cross-cutting enabler and systematizes values, objectives, dimensions, practices, and aspects to guide corporations in navigating the complexities of digital sustainability while achieving responsible digital progress. The study concludes by proposing a research agenda to guide future explorations in this promising direction.

揭示数字可持续性与企业数字责任之间的关系：面向企业数字可持续发展框架的双轨系统文献综述

本研究通过双轨系统文献综述，分析了来自 Web of Science 和 Scopus 的 202 篇学术著作，研究了数字可持续性（DS）和企业数字责任（CDR）之间的相互联系。通过收集和比较定义和关键主题，综述发现，目前的文献将数字可持续性和企业数字责任分开处理，忽略了它们潜在的协同作用--数字可持续性往往忽略了道德影响，而企业数字责任则忽略了更广泛的可持续性影响。不过，也出现了一些值得注意的共同点，从而形成了一个综合的企业数字化可持续发展（CDS）框架。该框架利用数字技术作为横向推动力，将价值观、目标、维度、实践和方面系统化，指导企业在实现负责任的数字进步的同时，驾驭复杂的数字可持续发展问题。本研究最后提出了一个研究议程，以指导未来在这一充满希望的方向上进行探索。

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
