    This report describes Norway’s landscape for Digital Science and Innovation Policy (DSIP) - the overarching framework through which governments make intensive use of digital technologies and data resources to support the formulation, delivery and administration of STI policy. The report describes how Norway’s DSIP landscape is shaped by its broader digital government framework and agenda, introduces the main actors in the DSIP system and discusses their main features in relation to their key objectives and the generic purposes of DSIP approaches. Special attention is paid to the role of STI statistics. It concludes by drawing out key findings and potential implications to help the Norwegian government identify opportunities that promote the system’s further development in line with its strategic objectives. This study also provides an indication of the potential opportunities and challenges that other countries might face when developing, implementing and maintaining digital systems for STI policy and administration.

    The ongoing and ubiquitous digital transformation challenges the raison d'être of firms and forces managers to rethink business strategies and operations and academics to reconsider related theories. To aid these efforts, we conduct a systematic review of research on firms' digital transformation, generating a database of 537 peer-reviewed academic articles and analyzing it using a novel multi-layered framework. The framework separates three layers: an organization's core activities, its peripheral activities, and its external environment. We find that firms that have come far in their transformations are more embedded in platform ecosystems with unclear business boundaries. Relatedly, we identify a tension between decentralizing versus centralizing power across organizational layers during a firm's digital transformation and how this dynamic affects corporate strategies and firms' internal and external boundaries.

  • Digital Transformation: A Firm-Level Empirical Investigation of Economic and Organizational Effects
    Item type: Doctoral Thesis
    Plekhanov, Dmitry (2023)
    This cumulative dissertation examines the firm-level organizational and economic effects of digital transformation. It builds on the theory of the firm to discover the key mechanisms behind technology-led organizational transformation and productivity enhancement. The dissertation provides theoretical contributions to the strategic management literature and information systems research. Furthermore, the dissertation offers practical insights into the implementation of digital transformation strategies in the business sector and the design of digital transformation policies. The first paper is a systematic literature review of digital transformation in the business sector. The paper leverages a database of 537 peer-reviewed academic articles on digital transformation to build a multilevel framework of crucial topics, trends, and gaps in the literature. It reveals that, by accumulating digital expertise and data resources, stand-alone firms in technology-intensive sectors are shifting toward digital platform ecosystems comprising interconnected value co-creators. This shift occurs along with the duality of decentralizing and centralizing the power dynamics among the organizational core, organizational periphery, and external environment. This paper elaborates on the nature of the relations between the firm and external environment (e.g., competition) and intrafirm dynamics under digital transformation. The second paper focuses on the firm-level productivity effects of IT investments. This paper contributes to resolving Solow’s productivity paradox, which is conceptualized as a growing discrepancy between increasing the volumes of digital investments and staggering productivity. Based on panel data estimations of the Swiss Innovation Survey 2002–2017 and KOF Digitalization Survey 2016, the paper identifies significant positive effects of IT investments on firm-level productivity in the presence of specific types of innovation capabilities under different competitive regimes. By combining Red Queen effect theory with dynamic capabilities theory, the paper empirically demonstrates the importance of deviating from competitors when seeking a competitive advantage in digital transformation. The third paper examines the digital transformation of the high-tech manufacturing sector in the context of transition economies. The paper recognizes the heterogeneity of high-tech firms, discovering why firms may lag behind in adopting and using digital technologies in transition economies. The empirical analysis, which is based on a survey of 544 Russian high-tech manufacturing firms, shows that exposure to foreign competition is critical for transitioning to more advanced production stages. On the contrary, government support measures do not play a significant role in creating incentives and providing opportunities for the digital transformation of domestic manufacturing firms. The findings highlight that, if countries want to achieve successful technology upgrading and digital transformation, they need to clearly understand firms’ incentives for investing in new technologies, consistently work on changing the incentive systems, and fight against corruption. As a whole, the dissertation helps advance an understanding of the productivity-enhancing effects of investments in digital technologies and the emergence of new forms of economic organization in the digital economy.
