Resumen: [EN] Today¿s key challenge for firm growth relies in the integration of digital technologies
and their use in new business models. Thus, firms increasingly engage in a
digital transformation and in digitalizing their business model. Firms can apply digital
technologies for improved or novel internal and external processes and integrate
them in new business models. The digital transformation itself demands diverse
knowledge from diverse origins in the firm. We examine the key concepts related
to business model digitalization. We develop a conceptual matrix for portfolio considerations
of firm business model digitalization. We introduce the seven contributions
in this special issue on knowledge and innovation related to business and offer
some recommendations for future research on the new working conditions and digital
identities of firms.
