Abstract

To enable new digital business models, pre-digital organizations launch entrepreneurial initiatives. However, in developing the required digital capabilities, pre-digital organizations often face challenges as they are marked by the ways they have historically grown their organizational identity. Research on how pre-digital organizations can develop digital capabilities remains scarce. We draw on a single case study to illustrate potential pathways for the development of digital capabilities. We identify two key characteristics: the source of digital capability development and the set-up of the actors involved. We synthesize four possible pathway manifestations, discuss the dynamic nature of pathway combinations, and suggest that managing a portfolio of pathways may be crucial for pre-digital organizations. Therefore, our study contributes to a better understanding of digital transformation in pre-digital organizations. Furthermore, we provide guidance for practitioners to reflect on when deciding which pathways to follow.
