The emergence of state-of-art technologies in the digital age has led to profound challenges to the management paradigms and methodologies developed historically throughout the industrialization phase. There is a pressing need to develop a systematic research framework of firm’s digital transformation and management,specifically in the China context, which not only contributes to the management theory development but also offers important strategic implications for the practitioners. By conceptualizing key elements in the digital transformation and management, this paper reviews the literature from both practice and academic research and outlines seven prominent directions for future studies.
