| description | Due to the degree of exposure to activities carried out through digital channels, digital
transformation is no longer an avoidable option for companies. However, being exposed to
an eminently digital environment does not automatically make companies able to embrace
the benefits of digitalisation. Therefore, it is vital to explore the mechanisms that enable
companies to transform their digital transformation efforts and activities into results. That is,
what are the capabilities that enable firms, depending on their degree of digitalisation (being
either digital users or digital providers), to achieve effective value generation and value
appropriation? The analysis of a sample of 204 companies belonging to four European
countries was performed on a causal competence model using PLS-SEM to answer the
research questions. Results show that digital enterprises are “greener” only if the business
model includes sustainability and that only for digital users is the degree of being a digital
company positively related to managerial and sustainable capabilities. Similarly, we found
an indirect, positive effect between being digital and having managerial and sustainable
capabilities through the mediation of digital capabilities, especially for digital providers,
exposing the complementarity of these capabilities |
