Abstract

This paper aims to explore the impact of digital transformation on enterprises and society, focusing on the main research directions, research achievements, best practices, and future research directions. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, synthesizing research findings on digital transformation management best practices and future trends in the field. Digital transformation profoundly affects enterprises and society by enabling innovation, enhancing competitiveness, promoting efficiency, and facilitating economic growth opportunities. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of digital transformation, integrating findings from various sources to provide valuable insights for businesses, policymakers, and researchers. Challenges in acquiring and ensuring data quality, as well as the lack of long-term tracking and evaluation, pose limitations in assessing the full impact of digital transformation. The findings emphasize the importance of embracing digital transformation strategies, fostering interdisciplinary research, and addressing limitations to shape a more innovative, efficient, and prosperous future.
