Systematic Literature Review on Digital Transformation and Resilience in Small Business

136 papers were analyzed through bibliometric methods, with 29 selected for systematic review. The dataset contains a systematic literature review and analysis of research at the intersection of digital transformation and resilience in entrepreneurship and small business. The work was authored by Tamara Šmaguc and uploaded to figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting a meta-analysis based on the four identified research themes: digital transformation as a resilience enabler, digital resilience and organisational capabilities, supply chain resilience through AI and digital technologies, and entrepreneurial and strategic perspectives.
• Identifying research gaps and future directions based on the application of the TCCM (Theory, Context, Characteristics, Methodology) framework described in the review.
• Analyzing conceptual patterns and thematic evolution in the field based on the integrated bibliometric and qualitative synthesis results.

Strengths

• The review is based on an analysis of 136 papers from the Web of Science Core Collection, providing a defined scope.
• A systematic methodology was employed, including independent screening by two authors and qualitative synthesis of 29 influential papers.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 314.6 KB document, indicating a limited scope focused on review analysis rather than primary data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the data structure must be inferred from the provided DOCX and XLSX files after download.
• The data reflects the inherent bias of the source literature, which was limited to English-language papers from journals in the Academic Journal Guide 2024.
