Abstract

The disruptive effects of digital technology throughout multiple industries, have caused the business environment to become highly volatile and uncertain, forcing organizations to transform digitally in order to maintain or improve their performance and ensure their survival. Digital transformation is most often driven by, or results in, innovation, which has been proven to be a factor that improves an organization’s performance. Thus, organizations that wish to stay competitive in the new dynamically changing environment have to adopt digital transformation strategies with a strong element of innovation. By conducting a systematic literature review of 52 articles, followed by a concept analysis of related terms, this paper examines whether leadership is a critical factor in the design and implementation of such a strategy and if it has an impact on organizational performance.
