This article relies on 23 in-depth interviews with senior managers who are leading all or some of the digital transformation efforts of their respective organizations. Our research,using a grounded theory approach,identifies four key activities (and 37 sub-activities or themes) stemming from the new managerial needs and talent management practices arising from DT processes. We branded these key activities “Drive business change”,“Master fluid & loose organizational structures”,“Master Talent Complexity”,and “Prioritize learning”.

It also provides a conceptual framework that captures the key managerial demands arising from digital transformation processes and identifies key actions made by senior executives as part of these processes,which can be leveraged by both scholars and practitioners alike. © 2022yesPublishedElsevier Inc.European Commissionhttps://ror.org/02jjdwm75202420242022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2022.07.020https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14417/3033https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85135047214&doi=10.1016%2fj.jbusres.2022.07.020&partnerID=40&md5=8024819b0ef269408dc573c637b32a2breponame:Repositorio IEinstname:IEInglésIE Business SchoolIE UniversityStrategyAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.ie.edu:20.500.14417/30332026-06-15T12:40:57Z
