Analytical method to address the research questions

Research question	Analytical method	Justification
1. To what extent to cognitive technologies relate to the micro-foundations of DT capabilities?	Directed content analysis	Validates (deductively) key concepts (knowledge search, knowledge management, TMS) by quantifying, classifying, and clustering
2. What are the underlying mindsets required to enable successful DT?	Summative content analysis	“Mindset” keyword quantified in article selection. Similar to classification as above but involves additional interpretation of context based on keyword recurrence
3. What are the paradoxical tensions firms need to manage as they digitally transform?	Thematic analysis	First-order concepts and second-order themes to emerge inductively through content analysis. Tensions identified as simultaneous dualities emerging from codes and aggregated as paradoxical dimensions based on DC theory
