Abstract
This article examines current trends in the digital transformation of enterprises and their sustainable development through the lens of the evolving conceptual landscape in the scientific literature. A comprehensive methodological approach is employed, encompassing the construction of a representative sample of scholarly publications and a bibliometric analysis of the co-occurrence of key terms and citation patterns. This approach enables the identification of emerging and promising areas of research. To formulate a robust search query for the selection of relevant publications, three conceptual clusters of key terms were delineated: economic dimensions, digital transformation processes, and micro-level analytical perspectives. The final dataset comprises 4,992 scientific articles indexed in the Scopus database, covering the period from 2010 to 2025. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software, facilitating the visualization and interpretation of network relationships among the examined concepts. The resulting visualization maps were used to delineate the research landscape by identifying dominant thematic areas, emerging niches, and key stages in the evolutionary trajectory of enterprise digital transformation in the context of sustainable growth. The findings offer a foundation for future interdisciplinary research and underscore the critical importance of advancing international scientific collaboration in the domains of digital transformation and sustainable enterprise development.
