ABSTRACT

The first management-oriented Special Issue focusing on digital business (DB) was published in 2013 by the MIS Quarterly, titled Digital Business Strategy: Toward a Next Generation of Insights (all the articles are cited later). It’s about how a firm’s competitive environment and digital strategic posture influence DB strategy. Several additional information systems (IS)-oriented articles had also appeared before the Special Issue (Varian 1996; Katsikas et al. 2005; Damiani et al. 2007; Salam et al. 2008; Al-Debei and Avison 2010; Tsatsou et al. 2010; and Melville 2012). In addition, there are now many other articles and books writing more broadly about DB ecosystems, of which a few recent ones are: Choi 2017; Durand et al. 2017; Kshetri 2017; Ponce-Jara et al. 2017; Remane et al. 2017; Schallmo et al. 2017; Seo 2017; Thompson et al. 2017; Yager and Espada 2017; Wokurka et al. 2017; Schallmo and Williams 2018; Qiu et al. 2018; Weill and Woerner 2018. Earlier published articles and books are listed later.
