Abstract

Digital transformation (DT) is a complex, socio-technical, strategic, and often radical change influenced by various aspects, among which non-technological, organizational factors play significant roles. The literature on DT enablers suggests sensitivity to the organizational context, especially to the technology intensity of companies. This article analyzes the variations in non-technological DT enablers in high-tech and low-tech manufacturing companies. Through a systematic literature review, using coding techniques and cluster analysis, we created 20 aggregated enabler categories. With the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method, clustered DT enablers in high-tech and low-tech companies were compared. High-tech companies enable DT with the factors related primarily to organizational flexibility and dynamism. In contrast, low-tech firms propel DT with the enablers connected to more stable, traditional, managerial practices.
