Abstract
The impact of digital transformation in organizations can be approached from different perspectives. In this article we will focus on the issue of organizational change and value creation through digital transformation. We will see that digital transformation affects or-ganizations as well as their structure. We will observe the impact of this through theories of structural contingency. Beyond the organiza-tional change, we will see that the digital transformation will impact the primary functions of the organization, the support functions, and the decision-making processes through informational issues. The digital era opens up new opportunities for organizations in terms of manufac-turing processes, automation, and decision-making.
Highlights
The creation of value through the digital transformation of organizations can be observed through the prism of structural contingency theories
As we have seen with Lawrence and Lorsch, external contingencies in the environment are the triggers for digital transformation and the appropriation of new technologies
The differentiation strategy can be divided into four major strategies: improvement strategy, low cost strategy, limitation strategy and specialization strategy
Summary
The creation of value through the digital transformation of organizations can be observed through the prism of structural contingency theories. We can consider digital transformation as the result of both internal and external structural contingency. Many of these theories are normative, which makes them the clearest point of articulation between organizational theory and corporate strategy
