Abstract
Digital technologies (DTs) have resulted in innovations that have fueled global knowledge-based economic development. This systematic review of the literature focuses on the relationship between DTs and innovation. Drawing on the extant literature, we investigate 685 articles published in 41 journals from 1997 to 2023. We present the current state of different types of articles and the theoretical perspectives applied in the previous research. Based on topic modeling analyses and interpretations of existing work, we develop a meta-framework that distinguishes between the direct and indirect effects of DTs on innovation and considers four levels of potential heterogeneity affecting the relationship. Finally, we propose an agenda that emphasizes the avenues for future research on DTs and innovation.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices.
JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience.
In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
