Purpose Although the significance of digital innovation readiness for organizations has been widely acknowledged, the factors that contribute to it remain underexposed and fragmented. Therefore, this scoping review aims to comprehensively map and synthesize the existing literature on factors contributing to digital innovation readiness. Design/methodology/approach This review uses Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) methodological framework to identify factors that contribute to digital innovation readiness. Five electronic databases were systematically searched, and to validate findings from that literature search and add insights that do not appear in the literature, six semi-structured interviews were conducted among senior digital innovation experts. Thematic analysis with a deductive and inductive approach was used to analyze interview transcripts. Findings Five factors and 13 sub-factors were identified from these studies. The interviews validated the 13 sub-factors and suggested one more – resource allocation. Thus, five main factors and 14 sub-factors were identified to contribute to digital innovation readiness. Originality/value Findings from this study offer clarity on factors that contribute to digital innovation readiness.
