Digital Transformation and Resilience: Dimensions and Interactions

Recent global events, notably the COVID-19 pandemic, have posed significant challenges to information systems (IS) companies, highlighting the critical importance of system resilience and its relationship with digital transformation (DT) during disruptive times. Despite this, there is a notable lack of literature examining the interactions between DT and resilience. To address this gap, this article presents a comprehensive review of the various types of interactions between these two concepts. Drawing on 73 articles published between 2010 and 2021 in leading IS research journals, our study identifies multiple dimensions of both DT and resilience. Mobilizing these dimensions, we explore their interactions to enhance our understanding of their causal dynamics. This review provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners interested in the mutual interactions between DT and resilience, especially in the context of disruptive events.
