Typology of Digital Transformations in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of digital transformation of organizations. The key concepts and classifications are analyzed, highlighting D. Winter's approaches, the interpretative approach, the process approach, the OMI classification, the basic technology approach, technological intensity, and others. The typologization of digital changes in an organization makes it possible to understand the depth of the phenomenon of transformation itself, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of deterministic approaches. As the number of digital transformations in organizations increases and the associated cost of implementing digital technologies increases, the importance of a deep understanding of the nature of transformational changes increases. As part of the work, the author proposed a new typology of digital transformation that combines various classification features and is applicable in the context of dynamic transformations in the organization, which is typical for developing systems. A practical tool for implementing the proposed classification is the digital transformation matrix, which reveals the essence of frontal, structural and process changes in the implementation of digital initiatives. The combination of the control object with the type of technology used can form various types of dynamic changes. The research results have the potential to be used for practical business analysis purposes in the planning and implementation of complex digital change projects in organizations. Also, the main conclusions of the work can be applied for further scientific research of the phenomenon of digital transformation in all its diversity.
