Digital Business Strategy
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-51247-1 (ISBN)
The volume identifies key categories of digital business strategy, in particular, strategy scope and direction, competitive advantage, and resource and capability reliance. It then explores relationships with antecedents such as digital experience, relationships with obstacles and enablers of strategy implementation, and relationships with operational and financial outcomes. The author demonstrates that strategy content and relationships differ among manufacturing companies, retailers, digital content providers, and digital platforms and also presents ways to cope with issues of implementation.
In summary, the book provides readers who wish to know more about the growing field of digital business strategy with up-to-date and systematic knowledge. It will be of great value to students at an advanced level, researchers, and reflective practitioners in the fields of technology management and strategic management in particular.
