Abstract

The fast development of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), has provided robust technical support for the digital transformation of corporations. Concurrently, the literature on digital transformation is also increasing, reflecting the gradual progress of this phenomenon. A systematic review and summary of digital transformation is presented in this paper, based on a sample of 54 papers published in UTD24 and FT50. The results of the research are as below: (1) the number of published papers on digital transformation shows a dynamic growth trend; (2) resource, organizational, and environmental factors trigger and shape digital transformation; (3) the influence mechanism of digital transformation mainly includes innovation and integration; (4) digital transformation is a double-edged sword, and its impact consequences include positive and negative effects. Finally, a research framework for digital transformation is constructed, and ideas for future research are provided.
