A critical literature review and future research directions","authors":"Martin Wiener ,&nbsp;Susanne Strahringer ,&nbsp;Julia Kotlarsky","doi":"10.1016/j.jsis.2025.101900","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.jsis.2025.101900","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>Digital transformation (DT) has emerged as a central and strategically relevant research phenomenon in information systems (IS) and related disciplines. As a result, a significant body of research on the DT phenomenon has accumulated in recent years. However, while existing research highlights the processual nature of the phenomenon, our theoretical understanding of DT processes remains fragmented. Against this background, the present study sets out to take stock of and critically review the IS literature on DT processes. To do so, we build on previous research to conceptualize DT as a network of interrelated processes, and draw on two conceptual frameworks from outside IS to guide our assessment of the current state of research. On this basis, we define a set of three review criteria, with a particular focus on (1) the specific DT processes studied and their interplay, as well as both (2) the styles of and (3) the time-related considerations involved in DT process theorizing. We then use these criteria to assess each study in our sample of 48 studies published in premier IS journals. The results of our critical review contribute to prior research by providing context-specific insights into the network of DT processes, as well as by highlighting key shortcomings in our understanding of this network along with numerous opportunities for ‘stronger’ DT process theorizing. Moreover, by linking the identified shortcomings and opportunities, we propose a set of six promising directions that equip IS scholars with actionable guidance for future research on DT processes and related theorizing efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 101900"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143791658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtained a rich sample from a major online Q&amp;A community in China and tested our hypotheses employing multiple identification methods and robustness tests. We found that participation in self-governance decreases the quantity but increases the quality of users’ knowledge contributions. In addition, users’ social status and activity level were found to weaken the effect of participation in self-governance on knowledge contribution. The insights derived from this study are crucial for online communities heavily relying on user-generated content.

Therefore, we seek to answer the research question: <em>How does the use of BDA impact business value?</em> We conducted a developmental literature review, resulting in the conceptualisation of the BDA-Use-Value (BDA-UV) framework. The framework consists of 10 constructs: BDA system capabilities, BDA use, BDA users and tasks, BDA organisational capabilities, complementary organisational resources, BDA learning, goal-oriented activities, intermediate outcomes, ultimate outcomes, and the internal and external environment. The framework also includes 10 propositions, which illuminate the relationships within the BDA value chain, BDA learning loop, and BDA context. This research contributes to theory by providing a consolidated view of disparate yet commensurate research streams (business value of IT and system use) and is critical in the BDA context where organisations are struggling to leverage BDA’s informating potential to derive value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":"34 2","pages":"Article 101888"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143379094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information Technology (IT) vendors as well as client firms found it challenging to maintain their performance levels. The Information Systems (IS) outsourcing literature, notably, had little insight to offer to client firms about effective IT outsourcing strategies for a systemic crisis. However, the literature did discuss two distinct yet interconnected logics for understanding IT outsourcing performance in non-crisis contexts. Whereas one logic revolves around the possession of strong internal capabilities, the other centers on the externalization of services. Building on this work, we develop a conceptual model to guide a configurational analysis centering on the sustenance of IT outsourcing performance during a systemic crisis. Based on the findings emerging from a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) of 200 companies across 13 countries, we theorize six organizational logics that client firms can consider to sustain IT outsourcing performance. These logics entail different combinations or configurations of client-firms’ IT outsourcing characteristics and the characteristics of the crisis faced. As systemic crises can engender more or less intense uncertainty, thus affecting the strategic options available to decisions makers, we also use our findings to theorize organizational logics that can enable performance sustenance during low, medium, and high severity crises.

Although <em>policy-driven digitalization</em> of specific sectors is key for promoting public value, government’s role in orchestrating extra-government digitalization initiatives to create public value has not been sufficiently investigated. To address this perceptible void in the public sector DT literature, we study a government-led DT program designed to promote digitalization among microbusinesses (MB), a sector that has major economic and social implications. Given the significant role of technical and business knowledge in facilitating enterprise DT, we examine and theorize different <em>knowledge mechanisms</em> through which government policy initiatives can help foster MBs’ DT. Drawing on qualitative data from a series of structured interviews and focus groups with government agents, digital champions, and MB owner-managers involved in the implementation of a government-led DT program for MBs in Ireland, among the different DT stakeholders, we identify three knowledge pathways playing different knowledge-related roles and aiming to facilitate this transformation: top-down, bottom-up, and multidirectional. Each pathway comprises distinct practices. Collectively, the identified knowledge mechanisms in the DT program knowledge ecosystem foster social value creation for both MBs and government stakeholders, and therefore for the nation as a whole. Specifically, sustenance of the DT program is achieved through “initiation” and “instantiation” knowledge routes. Our findings offer theoretical contributions to the literatures on government-led digital transformations, effectiveness of government-led digital initiatives, and digital transformation in the MB sector. Our study also has significant implications for policy and practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 101870"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142657179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
