Digitalization and Organizational Capabilities Review: 116 Q1 Journal Studies, 2015-2024

116 core studies from Q1 journals published between 2015 and 2024 were synthesized in a mechanism-based systematic literature review. The dataset presents findings on four mechanism families and twelve sub-mechanisms explaining how digitalization reconfigures organizational capabilities. It was authored by Sen Jia and last updated on 2026-04-30.

Use Cases

• Analyzing causal chains in digital capability development based on the identified enabling, cognitive, collaborative, and adaptive mechanisms.
• Developing theoretical models of organizational change based on the synthesized Digital Capability System (DCS) framework.
• Identifying research gaps in digitalization studies based on the discussion of static infrastructure treatments and output-biased innovation measures.

Strengths

• Based on a systematic review of 116 core studies from Q1 journals.
• Covers a defined time range of studies published between 2015 and 2024.
• Structured multi-stage screening and classification process was applied.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (70.0 KB), indicating limited raw data scope.
