“…This influence may stem from the potential mitigation of corruption or quasi-corruption practices as well as increased responsiveness to population demands for advanced technologies, even if such advancements impact different interest groups. The results, accordingly, are consistent with the existing literature (Bjerke-Busch and Aspelund, 2021; Mu and Wang, 2022).…”

“…This expansion of digital services not only contributes to the creation and upkeep of digital infrastructure, such as optical fibre networks, but also familiarizes the population with digital technology, exerting a demonstration effect across various sectors. Conversely, governments that neglect the populace’s needs may lack the impetus to advance digitally based services or develop an education system aligned with the contemporary demands of society (Bjerke-Busch and Aspelund, 2021; Mu and Wang, 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on national digital capability, specifically differentiating the impact between FDI greenfield and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The research also investigates factors shaping digital capabilities, encompassing government transparency and absorptive capability, while exploring the mediating influence of absorptive capability in the FDI–digital capability relationship. Design/methodology/approach An econometric model has been developed to examine the interrelationship between national digital capability, FDI inflows, national absorptive capability and government transparency. The data set encompasses 55 countries over a period of nine years (2013–2021). National digital capability data is derived from the well-established index published by the World Competitive Centre (WCC). The sources of the explanatory variables align with standard practices, drawing from reputable institutions (UNCTAD and the World Bank, among others). Findings The findings reveal a significant positive impact of FDI, particularly in greenfield investments, on national digital capability. Government transparency and research and development (R&D) investment are crucial factors contributing to digital capabilities. Additionally, the absorptive capacity, reflected by R&D investment, also emerges as a potential moderating factor, influencing the impact of FDI inflows on digital capabilities. Practical implications The results recommend that policymakers and stakeholders should carefully consider the role of FDI, especially in greenfield investments, as a catalyst for enhancing national digital capability. The findings also underscore the significance of promoting government transparency and directing investments towards R&D to nurture digital capabilities. Moreover, understanding the mediating role of absorptive capability can inform strategies aimed at optimizing the impact of FDI on digital capabilities. Originality/value This study contributes uniquely to the existing literature by being the first to systematically explore the influence of FDI on national digital capability. Furthermore, it presents innovative empirical findings on the role of absorptive capability in enhancing the FDI impact on national digital capability, an area that remains relatively uncharted in current literature.

Digital transformation has become essential for the majority of organizations, in both public and private sectors. The term "digital transformation" has been used (and misused), so frequently that it is now somewhat ambiguous. It has become imperative to give it some conceptual rigor. The objective of this study is to identify the major elements of digital transformation as well as develop a proper definition for DT in the public and private sectors. For this purpose, 56 different definitions of DT collected from the available literature were analyzed, and we found that they extracted elements from definition of DT manually. So, text mining (TF-IDF and Fp-tree) techniques are used to identify the major constituents and finally consolidate in generic DT definitions. The approach consists of five phases: 1) collecting and classifying DT definitions; 2) detecting synonyms; 3) extracting major elements (terms); 4) discussing and comparing DT elements; 5) formulating DT definitions for different business categories. An evaluation tool was also developed to assess the level of DT elements coverage in various definitions found in the literature, and, as a validation, it was applied to the formulated definitions.
