Abstract

Digital transformation has emerged as a critical driver of organizational sustainability and competitive advantage in increasingly dynamic and uncertain markets. This study examines how digital transformation strategies enhance innovation capability within the context of Indonesian startups, which operate in rapidly evolving and resource constrained environments. Adopting a qualitative exploratory approach, data were collected through semi structured interviews with founders, managers, and key decision-makers from multiple startups across Indonesia. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings reveal that digital transformation significantly contributes to innovation capability through several in terconnected mechanisms, including technological integration, organizational learning, and data-driven decision making. In particular, organizational learning manifested through knowledge sharing, iterative improvement, and feedback integration emerges as a critical mediating factor that enables startups to effectively translate digital adoption into innovative outcomes. The results highlight that the strategic alignment between digital initiatives and organizational objectives plays a more decisive role than mere technological adoption. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical insights into the processes through which digital transformation influences innovation capability in emerging startup ecosystems. It also offers practical implications for startup practi- tioners and policymakers in designing effective digital transformation strategies to foster sustainable innovation.

Abstract

Decentralized business applications (dApps) have emerged as transformative innovations within the digital economy, offering enhanced transparency, security, and autonomy compared to traditional centralized systems. However, despite their potential, the rate of user adoption remains limited due to multiple technological and behavioral barriers. This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors that hinder user adoption of decentralized business applications, focusing on technological complexity, lack of trust, usability issues, and regulatory uncertainty. The research employed a mixed-method approach that combined quantitative surveys of active blockchain users with qualitative interviews from industry experts to obtain comprehensive insights into user behavior and perception. The findings reveal that the main obstacles include insufficient user understanding of blockchain technology, concerns about data privacy, and the absence of standardized user experience designs, all of which contribute to low engagement and limited mainstream adoption. Furthermore, the study highlights that perceived risks and regulatory ambiguities significantly reduce users’ willingness to transition from centralized to decentralized platforms. In conclusion, the research emphasizes the need for user-centered design, clearer legal frameworks, and targeted education initiatives to foster greater trust and accessibility in decentralized ecosystems. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of adoption dynamics and provide practical implications for developers, policymakers, and organizations aiming to promote sustainable adoption of decentralized business applications.
