IT/IS strategy is of central importance to practice and many well-developed lines of research have contributed to our understanding of IT/IS strategy. However, throughout the last decade, digitalization has fundamentally transformed the business world and put into question traditional strategy wisdom. As information technologies are the driver of this digital transformation, we can expect an even more fundamental change in IT/IS strategy thinking. To verify this expectation, we undertook an in-depth, extensive review of the academic literature on this topic. Our review, which is time-framed to the years 2008–2018, distils five different directions in the development of IT/IS strategy research. It also identifies a shift in how IT/IS strategy is defined and investigated over this period. Moreover, we present an emerging debate on how digitalization challenges traditional IT/IS strategy wisdom. As this debate is still in its infancy, we take it further by entering into the larger discussion on digitalization, including digital innovation, digital ecosystems, and digital transformation. Building on this, we derive at deeper insights on how IT/IS strategy could, should, or should better not be understood in the digital age.

IT / IS战略对于实践至关重要，许多发达的研究领域有助于我们对IT / IS战略的理解。然而，在过去的十年中，数字化从根本上改变了商业世界，并质疑传统的战略智慧。由于信息技术是这种数字化转型的驱动力，我们可以预期IT / IS战略思维将发生更根本的变化。为了验证这一期望，我们对这一主题的学术文献进行了深入，广泛的审查。我们的审查期限为2008-2018年，在IT / IS战略研究的发展中分出了五个不同的方向。它还可以确定在此期间如何定义和调查IT / IS策略。此外，我们就数字化如何挑战传统的IT / IS战略智慧提出了新的辩论。由于这场辩论仍处于起步阶段，因此我们将进一步展开有关数字化的讨论，包括数字创新，数字生态系统和数字转换。在此基础上，我们将获得关于在数字时代如何，应该或应该不应该更好地理解IT / IS战略的更深刻见解。
