The study by Wessel et al. (2020) contributes to the understanding of digital transformation by distinguishing it from IT-enabled organizational transformation. They integrate literature from organization science and information systems with longitudinal case studies to develop a conceptualization that highlights two key differences: first, digital transformation activities leverage digital technology to (re)define an organization’s value proposition, while IT-enabled transformation supports the existing value proposition.
Second, digital transformation leads to the emergence of a new organizational identity, whereas IT-enabled transformation enhances an existing identity. The authors synthesize these differences into a process model, providing a framework for understanding various types of transformations and suggesting avenues for future research[1].
