Digital Transformation & Leadership Style

THE ISM JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, 2019

This research addresses the inability of executives and managers to successfully meet the challenges associated with the execution of digital transformations (DT) in their organisations. We used a qualitative multiple case study to identify the optimal leadership styles, characteristics, and traits that could enable the successful implementation of DT programmes in organisations headquartered in France. The unit of analysis is individuals in organisations responsible for planning and implementing DT initiatives. Eight individuals were recruited for participation from medium and large enterprises in the hospitality, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and banking sectors in France. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews using a protocol that was developed for the purpose of this study. The results of the study indicate that, although digital technology for transformation is disruptive, operational performance leaders are prepared to adapt their styles, characteristics, and traits to suit this new digital era and to change their ways of working once given a clear vision, commitment, and support from executives. Leaders can positively influence, train, move, and fail through experimentation while contributing to improved ways of working at all levels by adopting co-creation and co-designing cross-functional methodologies that are agile and inclusive. Future research could explore the phenomenon of DT within organisations of varying sizes in wider geographic regions and industries.

Leadership Characteristics in the Era of Digital Transformation

Business And Management Studies: An International Journal, 2020

Digital transformation provoked by Industry 4.0 should not be just seen as a technological issue, it causes also fundamental changes in processes and in organizations of companies. Notably a new understanding of leadership can be counted on to them. The so-called "digital leaders" are expected to act rapidly and flexible in networked and distributed organization structures on the one hand and on the other hand they have to manage the digital transformation of the organization. Since most of the companies are still in the beginning of their digital transformation, there is a lack of a common understanding and a standard model of digital leadership. Most of the existing research works are visionary and predict the requirements for digital leadership on anticipated technological, economical and organizational changes; only few of them report about changes in leadership based on implemented cases. The objective of this study is to sum up main characteristics of the leadership in the era of digital transformation by applying content analysis of literature review as the method.
