Management and organizational scholars have paid increasing attention to the interconnections between digital transformation and innovation management in the last decade. However, a highly fragmented understanding of this topic is what we are left with so far. In this editorial, we suggest an approach to open up the black box of the interplay between digital transformation and innovation management by providing a framework that identifies three levels of analyisis (i.e., macro, meso, and micro) along which existing and future research on the topic can be organized. This model encourages scholars to conduct theoretical and empirical studies on how digital transformation affects ecosystems’ structure and governance, how industries and firms compete and organize for innovation in a digitalized world, how the processes for developing new products and services change under the effect of digital technologies, and the implications of digital transformation on managing people and teams involved in the innovation process, among the other topics. We also provide a synthesis of the eight papers published in the Special Issue that this editorial introduces and develop an agenda for future research that will hopefully contribute to encourage and shape future scholarly efforts into this field.

数字化转型与创新管理：现有研究综述和未来研究议程

在过去的十年中，管理和组织学者越来越关注数字化转型与创新管理之间的相互关系。但是，到目前为止，我们对这个主题的理解还十分分散。在这篇社论中，我们建议一种方法，通过提供一个框架来识别数字化分析与创新管理之间相互作用的黑匣子，该框架可以确定三个层次的分析（即宏观，中观和微观），并据此对当前和未来的研究进行分析。主题可以组织。这种模式鼓励学者们进行理论和实证研究，以探讨数字化转型如何影响生态系统的结构和治理，行业和企业如何竞争和组织数字化世界中的创新，除其他主题外，在数字技术的影响下，开发新产品和服务的过程如何发生变化，数字化转型对管理创新过程中涉及的人员和团队的影响。我们还提供了本期《特刊》上发表的八篇论文的综述，并为未来的研究制定了议程，希望这将有助于鼓励和塑造未来对该领域的学术努力。
