Abstract
In recent years, the concept of digital transformation (DX) has been attracting attention. However, the discussion of ICT-based transformation is not so new. Its origins can be traced back to the 1990s. In this paper, we review how information systems research has approached the subject of “ICT and organizational transformation,” which has a history of more than a quarter of a century. As a result, the discussion of DX has revealed (1) the importance of its social and material aspects (the im-portance of socio materiality) rather than the traditional functional aspects of ICTs, and (2) the importance of the transformation of the field gaze and humble leadership in discussing transfor-mations including changes in the organizing principles of work and organizational values. From these characteristics, it can be said that the digital transformation calls for the transformation of information systems research itself (the establishment of new research objects and new method-ologies).
