Digitalization and Sustainability: Where do we stand? A systematic review of reviews in managerial studies

The connection between digitalization and sustainability has become a focal point for academics and practitioner s, who are called to actively find solutions to today’s sustainable development issues. Academia has up to date generated a growing body of literature reviews. Nonetheless, the knowledge around these two trending topics still appears scattered. This ongoing study addresses this issue by developing an umbrella review to provide a comprehensive understanding of this evolving field and to identify future research directions. Through the adoption of the PRISMA approach, we developed a systematic review of reviews. We studied 27 literature reviews published in high-quality ABS-ranked journals between January 2010 and September 2023. The preliminary results confirm that the body of knowledge has been growing over the last decade and identify some trending topics of research. This work aims to contribute to the literature by providing a comprehensive and deep understanding of the digitalization and sustainability topics within managerial studies, while also offering insights into emerging trends and guiding future research in this dynamic domain.
