In order to help to build a community of scholars interested in studying digital businesses through the lens of classic core strategy questions, we organized popular PDWs at AOM 2020, 2021 and 2022 conferences, all of which attracted over 200 live participants. These three past PDWs used the theoretical lenses of corporate-level strategy, organization governance, and resources and capabilities to help understand digital businesses. This year, as an extension of this series, we propose to examine digital businesses through the classic "Fundamental Issues in Strategy" questions posed by Rumelt, Schendel and Teece (1995). We will focus on both how these fundamental issues in strategy can inform research on digital business phenomena, and how novel features of these phenomena may require adapting those fundamental questions.
