Digital transformation is frequently presented as a technological challenge. Yet, organizations are not transformed by technology alone, but by the people who collectively interpret, adapt, and integrate digital technologies into their everyday work practices. This book argues that understanding digital transformation therefore requires moving beyond technology-deterministic and higher organization-level perspectives toward a human-centred view of change.
 Drawing on Humanistic Management, the Viable Systems Approach, and the Social Constructivism of Technology, the book develops the concept of 
 Communal Constructivism of Technology
 , a theoretical framework that explains how technological meaning is collectively constructed within firms. By emphasizing knowledge sharing, trust, participation, and collaboration, it offers a dynamic understanding of how digital technologies become legitimate, meaningful, and actionable. Addressed to scholars, students, and practitioners, this book provides both theoretical insights and practical guidance for designing digital transformation strategies in which technological innovation and human development evolve together as complementary dimensions.

Communal Constructivism of Technology and Human-Centered Digital Transformation

Routledge Research in Strategic Management

Contemporary organizations operate in environments defined by systemic openness and deep interdependence across economic, technological, institutional and socio-political systems. This book introduces the concept of strategic exposure to explain how firms navigate these interconnected fields, where competitive advantage depends not on defending isolated positions, but on governing exposure and adapting to continuous change. This book offers three integrative frameworks: the Strategic Field Framework, the Strategy Parachute, and the Renewal Loop. It provides tools for diagnosing exposure, coordinating across boundaries, and renewing advantage. Grounded in executive interviews, case studies, and pedagogical experiments, it combines conceptual synthesis with real-world insights to explore how organizations manage interdependence, legitimacy pressures, and competitive erosion. Aimed at researchers, scholars and postgraduate students in strategic management, international business, and organization studies, it also offers valuable insights for reflective practitioners and policymakers working in globally interconnected industries. By reframing strategy for open systems, the book provides a fresh perspective on how organizations can thrive in an era of uncertainty and interdependence.
