当今竞争激烈且高度不稳定的环境要求一种新的灵活性和适应性。有限的研究，探讨企业如何实现速度和创造力的要求，在这个数字时代。鉴于对可持续数字创新（SDI）应用严格研究方法的现实案例的实证研究很少，本研究调查了SDI的组织敏捷性和灵活性的关键战略要求。该研究框架定义了四种类型的创新者。本研究使用基准工具来评估其创新有效性的状况。该研究框架有助于企业对创新类型进行分类、评估和评价。研究结果还为今后的战略目标提供了路线图。这一理论框架说明了日本式数字创新与企业可持续竞争优势之间的因果关系。这一模式可以推广到不同背景下的其他公司（例如，韩国、印度、美国、巴西和许多其他国家）。理论和实践意义进行了讨论，为今后的研究。
Today’s competitive and highly volatile environment calls for a new kind of flexibility and adaptability. Limited studies are available that examine how firms achieve both speed and creativity requirements in this digital era. In view of the rare empirical studies on real-world cases that apply rigorous research methods for sustainable digital innovation (SDI), this research investigates the key strategic requirements of organizational agility and flexibility for SDI. The research framework defines four types of innovators. This study used the benchmark tool to assess the status of their innovation effectiveness. This research framework is useful for firms to classify, assess, and evaluate their innovation type. The study’s findings also suggest the road map for future strategic goals. This theoretical framework illustrates the causal relationship between Japanese-style digital innovation and the firms’ sustainable competitive advantage. This model might be extended to other firms in different contexts (e.g., Korea, India, USA, Brazil, and a host of other countries). The theoretical and practical implications are discussed for future research.
