The purpose of this article is to reinvigorate research in the intersection of corporate strategy and the theory of the firm in light of the rapid advancement of digital technologies. Using the theory of the firm as an interpretive lens, we focus our analysis on the implications of the emerging digital age for three broad domains of corporate strategy: (1) corporate (competitive) advantage, (2) firm scale, scope, and boundaries, and (3) internal structure and design. Recognizing that digitalization exacerbates ambiguity and paradoxes, we sketch foundational strategies for future research. We suggest that there is a need to develop knowledge that accounts for the new realities of the digital age, depending on whether the corporate strategy phenomena under investigation and the theories of the firm used to explain them, are existing or new. The article serves also as introduction to the Journal of Management Studies Special Issue on the topic.

数字时代的企业战略与企业理论

鉴于数字技术的快速发展，本文旨在重振公司战略与公司理论交叉领域的研究。使用公司理论作为解释镜头，我们将分析重点放在新兴数字时代对公司战略的三个广泛领域的影响上：（1）公司（竞争）优势，（2）公司规模、范围和边界, (3) 内部结构和设计。认识到数字化会加剧歧义和悖论，我们勾勒出未来研究的基本策略。我们建议，有必要开发能够解释数字时代新现实的知识，这取决于所调查的公司战略现象和用于解释它们的公司理论是现有的还是新的。《管理研究杂志》关于该主题的特刊。
