Research on Digital Transformation Based on Complex Systems: Visualization of Knowledge Maps and Construction of a Theoretical Framework

In the digital age, the exploration of digital transformation has made remarkable progress in many fields. However, the existing theories related to digital transformation at the organizational level are relatively scattered, which makes it difficult to support the practical exploration of organizational change in the digital context. Through quantitative and visual analysis of the literature in the field of digital transformation, this study analyzes the research situation in this field from the aspects of the paper publishing trend, node literature, key scholars and regional cooperation. Through the analysis of the keywords co-occurrence network, the research frontier of digital transformation is identified, and, based on complex systems, this study discusses the research frontier from three aspects: organizational symbiosis oriented by environmental coordination, ability remodeling oriented by structural optimization and value creation oriented by functional realization. Further, based on the analysis framework and principle of organizational management systematics, this study constructs the theoretical framework of digital transformation from three aspects: core dimension, implementation mechanism and action mechanism. The systematic theoretical framework can pro-vide reference for the development of relevant theories of digital transformation and better support the management practice of digital transformation.
