DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR SUSTAINABLE
PROCUREMENT:
A SOCIO-TECHNICAL MATURITY
MODEL APPROACH
This dissertation investigates digital transformation and sustainable procurement. It develops a theoretically grounded and empirically validated Sustainable Digital Procurement Maturity Model (SDPMM) explaining how digital technologies and organizational capabilities coevolve to shape Triple Bottom Line (TBL) performance.
