“…Kane et al (16) have explained the impact of organizations adoption of new technologies as a contribution to the social reforms and well-being of the respective society. A digital economy enables businesses to survive in an era of everchanging consumers and supply demands by adapting to the latest digital information tools (17). Any digital economy can lead to sustainability when its firms have the potential to have an indepth up to date understanding of digital innovation which is derived from the internal research and development sources of the economy (16,18,19).…”

The digital transformation has impacted society at different levels, mainly on the economic and governance levels. This paper investigates the impact of the digital economy on social governance mechanisms. Additionally, it captures the indirect effects or mediating forces such as social reforms and a sustainable digital economy. The study followed a positivism philosophy, and it is survey research influencing cross-sectional study. The unit of analysis in the current paper was employees from four different professions as economists, financial analysts, managers, and teachers. The random sampling technique was used as a sampling type, and a questionnaire was used for data collection. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was carried out as a data analysis technique. The research findings revealed that the digital economy has a favorable impact on the social governance mechanism. Likewise, the digital economy positively affects social reforms and a sustainable digital economy. Social reforms also proved to link with a sustainable digital economy positively. The output of the indirect effects and structural model confirmed that social reform played a partial mediation role between the digital economy and sustainable digital economy. Moreover, a sustainable digital economy confirmed a partial mediation between the digital economy and the social governance mechanism. Finally, analysis confirmed a serial mediation among digital economy, social reforms, sustainable digital economy, and social governance mechanism. Therefore, policymakers and government agents should improve the digital economy to have a strong social governance mechanism.

“…Firms could configure new coworking spaces to allow individuals to discuss digital solutions and digital business models in collaborative and stimulating creative spaces (Bouncken and Reuschl 2018;Colbert et al 2016). In addition, the configuration of the top management team could facilitate decision-making and collaboration (Garcia De Lomana et al 2019). Digitalization refers also to consideration of what is appropriate and legitimate for a particular industry, field, or category.…”

Knowledge- and innovation-based business models for future growth: digitalized business models and portfolio considerations

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Today's key challenge for firm growth relies in the integration of digital technologies and their use in new business models. Thus, firms increasingly engage in a digital transformation and in digitalizing their business model. Firms can apply digital technologies for improved or novel internal and external processes and integrate them in new business models. The digital transformation itself demands diverse knowledge from diverse origins in the firm. We examine the key concepts related to business model digitalization. We develop a conceptual matrix for portfolio considerations of firm business model digitalization. We introduce the seven contributions in this special issue on knowledge and innovation related to business and offer some recommendations for future research on the new working conditions and digital identities of firms.

“…This paper defines DO as an organization’s strategic guiding principle that encourages and supports the broad application of a combination of information, computing, communication, and connectivity technologies to improve its practices, routines, and processes. Unlike prior DO definitions (Arias-Pérez and Vélez-Jaramillo, 2022; Garcia de Lomana et al. , 2019; Khin and Ho, 2019; Kindermann et al.…”

“…Regarding the DO concept, current research primarily emphasizes that firms actively apply digital technologies to enhance collaboration efficiency, service levels, and competitive advantage (Garcia de Lomana et al, 2019;Khin and Ho, 2019;Kindermann et al, 2021). However, inconsistencies persist in defining DO.…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the impact of digital orientation (DO) on organizational resilience (OR) and explore the contingency effects of human resource slack and nature of enterprise ownership.Design/methodology/approachThe model hypotheses were tested using fixed effects regression on panel data collected from Chinese A-share listed manufacturing firms spanning from 2007 to 2020.FindingsDO has a positive effect on OR. Human resource slack positively moderates the relationship between DO and OR. Additionally, DO enhances OR more effectively in non-state-owned firms than in state-owned firms.Research limitations/implicationsThis study relies on data from a single industry from a single country.Practical implicationsThe study supports that firms facing uncertainty, risk and pressure should promptly develop their DO strategy. Firms can derive greater resilience from implementing a DO strategy when they have a high-level human resource pool. State-owned enterprises will benefit from a DO strategy if they make some adaptive changes in leadership, structure, culture and mindset aspects.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine the relationship between DO and OR, contributing to the existing literature on digital transformation and organizational resilience. It offers valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to adapt their organizations for the digital era and foster predictive, defensive and growth responses strategies in a dynamic business environment.
