ANALYZING THE BIBLIOMETRIC LANDSCAPE OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS

Abstract

Digital transformation entails technological shifts, cultural shifts, and alterations in the manner organizations operate and deliver value, necessitating a rethink of organizational strategies and the undertaking of new risks. These changes occur and are needed across various sectors of society. Project management assists in altering the dynamics of organizations, enabling the implementation of new technologies, innovations, and transformations. This article aims to analyze the existing relationship between digital transformation and project management, and to identify the trends of this topic in the literature. The study employs bibliometric analysis to verify the existing relationship and to identify the most explored elements within the topic. The research was confined to the utilization of the Scopus database for data retrieval, wherein 245 articles were found, distributed between the years 2008 and 2020. Through bibliometric pairing, eight factors were identified (Change, Technologies, Strategy, Processes, People, Model, Autonomous Systems, and Artificial Intelligence), confirming the breadth of the topic, its relevance, and the main themes addressed. The findings indicate that the fields of engineering, computer science, and business administration encompass the majority of the studies, enabling scholars to comprehend the contemporary nature of the issues discussed and the trends for future studies.
