Strategic Control Model Based on Digital Transformation
Keywords:
Strategic control, Digital transformation , Digitalization, StrategyAbstract
Strategic control is one of the most critical managerial responses to crises and environmental dynamism. Environmental turbulence arises due to the significant increase in competitiveness levels, the presence of volatile markets, and growing environmental complexity. The most significant impact of this turbulence is the intensification of uncertainty and the difficulty for companies in predicting key environmental variables. In recent years, an industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) has emerged, affecting all aspects of businesses, rooted in digital transformation. Since this transformation influences strategic decision-making in various areas, including customer experience, operational processes, and business models, it highlights the need for new strategic management tools. Therefore, it is essential to manage the opportunities and risks of digital transformation and leverage its capabilities and tools to revise strategy for digital transformation-based strategic control. Through a systematic review and qualitative analysis of the theoretical literature on digital transformation, six main dimensions were identified. Finally, using the meta-synthesis method, 18 components of strategic control were categorized within the six dimensions of digital transformation, leading to the introduction of a strategic control model based on digital transformation.
