Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to identify and explore the key dimensions of digital transformation, determine the factors influencing its success, and provide recommendations for best practices. Employing the systematic literature review (SLR) method with a PRISMA approach, this research was conducted in July 2024 using data from the Scopus database. A total of 30 eligible articles were analysed, revealing 13 key influencing factors: leadership, culture, IT, knowledge, agility, strategy, top management, attitude, internal factors, finance, readiness, and digitalisation. The findings of this study are expected to offer valuable insights for academics and practitioners in management and information technology. As a qualitative study, it provides a novel perspective by deeply exploring the experiences and perceptions of individuals involved in digital transformation initiatives across various sectors, capturing nuanced and context-specific factors contributing to successful digital transformation.

Keywords: digital transformation; information technology; PRISMA; systematic literature review; SLR.
