Exploring the influencing mechanisms of different digital transformation stages: an industry perspective

This study examines influencing mechanisms of digital transformation across a range of industries using literature review method. Through the analysis of 114 papers from the comprehensive search of related databases, we have obtained the following results. Firstly, digital transformation unfolds in three phases: initial readiness, intermediate implementation, and innovation disruption. Secondly, internal challenges include unclear strategies, insufficient technology infrastructure, and employee resistance, while external challenges involve limited government incentives and customer resistance. Finally, the study highlights the importance of specific assets, capabilities, and organizational structures for success and develops industry-specific growth strategies based on each industry's unique characteristics.
