“Impacts of digital transformation on firms’ competitive advantages: A systematic literature review” do Prof. Pedro Leão foi alvo de distinção por parte da John Wiley & Sons.
O certificado atesta a relevância do artigo em Mudança estratégica. Publicado em setembro de 2021, tem sido fonte de citação por outros investigadores na matéria.
Segundo o abstract, o paper consiste numa reflexão sobre: “digital transformation impacts firms’ competitiveness mainly on innovation, efficiency, cost reduction, and impacts global value chains on specialization, geographic scope, governance, and upgrading. According to literature, the impacts of digital transformation over firms’ competitiveness, while presenting a more prominent role over more “classical” advantages, present a majority of positively signed impact directions, being, on average, beneficial to the firms that implement such transformations. Industrial processes’ digitalization links global value chains’ four main dimensions by increasing the firm’s focus on more specific value chain activities (specialization) and international expansion opportunities (geographic scope) activity. In parallel, industrial digital transformation is also motivating firms to expand into upstream activities across the value chains (upgrading) and impacting significantly at GVCs’ strategy (governance) due to the emergence of digital platforms, disrupting former competitive settings into new networked “extended business ecosystems.”
Após ser conhecida a certificação, o Prof. Pedro Leão comenta: “após o esforço e dedicação associados à investigação e posterior escrita e publicação de um artigo científico numa revista internacional, é muito recompensador sentir o reconhecimento do impacto dessa investigação no mundo científico, sobretudo quando é proveniente de uma editora líder global como a John Wiley & Sons.”
