Abstract
Digitalization in organizational context enforces organizations to define their own strategies. In this sense, organizations make their choices from a variety of digitalization strategies from IT strategy to digital orchestration strategy. Organizational digitalization, their digitalization capabilities, and transformations that they have experienced define their routes in the digitalization process. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to present digitalization strategy choices mentioned in the business management literature through examples.

Technological Social-ism
This has to be one of the most abused buzz words ever. It has a very definite meaning that gets lost in a hazy fog. People often think it means something like “newer and better”. Actually, it just means “less accurate (for a good reason though)”. Theoretically, analog is any value from 0 to the highest, an infinite gradation of grays. In reality, we are limited by human perception and frustrated by mechanical limitations. Digital means that the same reading is now only 0 and 1, black or white. There is no question this is an imperfect alternative. What is useful though is that when done enough times, we can surpass previous limitations (though we don’t always). Creating copies is far more reliable since there are so few possible states per pixel (see below). In fact, whereas before “copy” and “original” were useful ideas, now they really don’t apply. The thing we play back now is always a copy. The original, which only existed as electrical pulses, is long discarded as soon as it is saved. But there is no longer any reason to distinguish, since they are identical clones.
