Risk Management in Organizational Digital Transformation:A Punctuated Equilibrium Perspective
Based on the theoretical framework of punctuated equilibrium,this study ex-plores the challenges and risk management associated with organizational digital transforma-tion.Digital transformation is a complex,dynamic,and nonlinear process,encompassing stages of informatization,digitalization,and intelligentization.From the perspective of punctuated equilibrium,the digital transformation process within organizations can be segmented into three phases:the equilibrium phase,during which organizations primarily rely on traditional methods for operations and management;the punctuation phase,which is characterized by the initiation of digital transformation,driven by the adoption of new digital tools and methods that substan-tially alter operational and managerial frameworks;and the new equilibrium phase,where dig-ital transformation is successfully achieved,resulting in the establishment of a more efficient and flexible operational and management system.The success of digital transformation depends fundamentally on the organization's capacity for innovation,which requires the integration of digital infrastructure,architecture,individual capabilities,and creativity.Digital transforma-tion is not a one-off event but a continuous process,and effective risk management is essential throughout its implementation.This study provides a novel theoretical perspective and practical insights for comprehensively understanding and effectively managing the process of organiza-tional digital transformation.
