This thesis examined two intersecting organizational phenomena often studied separately: digital innovation and strategic alignment processes. We adopted a mixed-method approach and collected data using interviews, online questionnaires, and an examination of the participating organizations' websites. Our dataset incorporates 60 small and medium-sized North American digitally enabled firms. We adopted the abductive analysis technique, incorporated the system-process perspective, and performed a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. We theorized and confirmed that digital innovation and strategic alignment processes span three corporate levels: macro, meso, and micro. We contributed to multi-level information systems research by adopting and validating a three-level process-based model. We uncovered the microfoundations of digital innovation and strategic alignment. Rather than finding some elements associated with each variable (event), we explicated categories of constituents and identified comprehensive sets of their associated elements. We showed that both phenomena share the same microfoundations but exhibit subtle differences. Therefore, our thesis advances the microfoundations perspective in information systems research. Our research illustrated that causality flows from the macro to the micro through the meso-level and from the micro to the macro through the meso-level-each variable is an integral part of the causal process. In the past, scholars used verbal descriptions of causal mechanisms and often stayed at an abstract level. In contrast, our research uncovered specific details of the causal mechanisms encountered in social and organizational sciences: situational, action-formation, and transformational. We uncovered these mechanisms' constituents and explained how they produce the expected results to move digital innovation and strategic alignment processes along their paths. Consequently, our thesis advances causal mechanisms theorization. Our configurational analysis offers another theoretical contribution and advances theories of digital innovation and strategic alignment processes. We discovered distinct configurations linked to two levels (low and high) of digital innovation and strategic alignment outcomes. Thus, we offer helpful guidelines to practitioners interested in optimizing innovation and aligning processes toward desired outcomes. Finally, we identified paradoxical tensions associated with the interaction between digital innovation and strategic alignment initiatives. Hence, we extend paradox theory and offer leaders yet another set of tools to increase the success of their organizational endeavors.
