An integrative definition of digital, innovation, and sustainable: A bridge between disciplines

It needs to be clarified how digital, innovation, and sustainable concepts are interdependent and what dimensions they encompass from an organizational perspective. This article aims to fill these gaps. 12,249 articles are analyzed, of which 776 are minimum C ranked, and 457 pass the quality filters. Only 48 publications deal with all three concepts, and 24 offer definitions. This results from an eight-step systematic literature review. Three dimensions for 'digital' (data, technologies, and networks), three dimensions for 'sustainable' (environmental, social, and economic), and four dimensions for 'innovation' (product, service, business model, and process) are elaborated in a framework. Based on this, an integrated definition is derived using a content analysis. The DIS-definition can be used for strategic decision-making processes and bridges the disciplines of technology, innovation, and sustainability management. Finally, a canvas that clarifies the concepts and their connections is proposed for interdisciplinary management discussions.
