abstract = {In any human undertakings, success requires a sound strategy. Based on a narrative review, this conceptual paper discusses the concept of strategy, its manifestations in digital transformation, and a strategy for managing project front-end activities in this change process. Concretely, based on the underlying rationale, we highlight the multidimensional nature of strategy first and then its various manifestations in digital transformation. Finally, we present a strategy for managing project front-end activities in this process, some relevant tools, and techniques in addition to a metaphor meant to creatively generate supplemental insights into this strategy. Overall, this essay contributes to knowledge in information systems by enhancing two types of theory in this area, namely, the theory for analyzing and theory for design and action. © 2023 IEEE Computer Society.

abstract = {The structural forms of companies on the market lifecycle change substantially as the lifecycle unfolds. These changes are both structural and topological in concert with what is happening in the market. The firm shapes and substance evolve in a fashion that suggests an environmental adaption dictated by the market or more precisely anticipated by the firms as they read the market signals. This article traces the logic that defines the modes and results of this adaptation. The lifecycle itself has been demonstrated to be a powerful device by the principal author and colleagues, in a series of articles, to be symmetrically predictive in time, forecasting both the future and the past. This predictive capacity applies to structural evolution of the firm and the constraints that the distinct organizational shape of the structure will place on the firm. Furthermore, knowing the present shape, one can define both the past and successor structures and their fit to the enabling environment. The environment itself can be traced to market deep and surface structures and the closely correlated strategy landscape dominant at each stage of the market. © Copyright© (2018) by American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM).
