Digital technologies increasingly facilitate more transparent information exchange and the inclusion of new and more actors in organizational processes. This resulting ‘openness’ has been studied in multiple domains, including open strategy. Since increased transparency and inclusion are the main dimensions of open strategy, it seems reasonable to assume a theoretical linkage between digital transformation and openness in the strategy process. So far, however, we lack a nuanced understanding about their overlaps and the nature of their interrelationships. In this review, we therefore explore how digital transformation and open strategy interrelate and influence each other and what conditions support or constrain the identified relationships. To do so, we systematically review and synthesize research on open strategy considering the role of digital transformation. We make two contributions: First, we develop a framework mapping out the relationships between digital transformation and open strategy. Our framework shows how open strategy and digital transformation are situated in a dynamic circle of mutual influence. Second, we adopt a strategy‐as‐practice perspective and identify and discuss the roles of agency, power, temporality and materiality. These features can either further support or hamper the identified linkages. Finally, we identify trajectories for future research.

开放战略和数字化转型：框架和未来研究议程


数字技术日益促进更加透明的信息交换以及将新的和更多的参与者纳入组织流程。由此产生的“开放性”已在多个领域进行了研究，包括开放战略。由于增加透明度和包容性是开放战略的主要维度，因此在战略过程中假设数字化转型与开放性之间存在理论上的联系似乎是合理的。然而，到目前为止，我们对它们的重叠部分和相互关系的性质缺乏细致入微的了解。因此，在本次审查中，我们探讨了数字化转型和开放战略如何相互关联和相互影响，以及哪些条件支持或限制已确定的关系。为此，我们系统地回顾和综合了考虑数字化转型作用的开放战略的研究。我们做出了两项贡献：首先，我们开发了一个框架，描绘了数字化转型与开放战略之间的关系。我们的框架展示了开放战略和数字化转型如何处于相互影响的动态循环中。其次，我们采用战略即实践的视角，识别并讨论代理、权力、暂时性和实质性的作用。这些特征可以进一步支持或阻碍已确定的联系。最后，我们确定了未来研究的轨迹。
