Abstract

Digital transformation has always been a hot topic in the field of information systems and strategic management. Although various theories have been used in the study of enterprise digital transformation, how to quickly identify the problems and propose feasible measures is a major challenge in the process of enterprise transformation. In addition, in the specific context of China, there are fewer tools available on the comprehensive study of enterprise transformation that can describe companies in the fastest and easiest way. So, Combining Six-Flow Matching hexagrams of I Ching and Bourdieu's social practice formula, we aim to propose Six-Flow Matching Model that is a comprehensive tool for enterprise transformation practice, and to explain how to use it to quickly and easily make a diagnosis and propose countermeasures for business transformation. Specifically, we not only describe the activities within the firm as information flow, material flow, capital flow, right flow, responsibility flow and benefit flow, which are matched with symbolic capital, social capital, economic capital, cultural capital, habitus and field, but also use the hexagrams to interpret the comparative results of the six-flow and propose digital transformation measures. By combining Bourdieu's social philosophy theory with the wisdom of the ancients, this study will illustrate the logic of hexagram changes to readers through the presentation of a case, and shows that Six-Flow Matching Model can comprehensively provide effective measures for the problems existing in enterprise transformation.
