Abstract. The interest in sustainability and digitization has grown significantly in recent years, especially on the link between the two concepts, because through digitization new business models can be created, respectively existing ones can be modified, with the aim of resisting the changes in the business environment, implicitly to increase sustainability. To analyze in more detail the relationship between sustainability, digitization, digitization and digital transformation, a bibliometric analysis was carried out. Its data were obtained through the Web of Science Core Collection database by entering keywords specific to the chosen theme. Therefore, 166 publications written in English from the period 2004-2023 were analyzed. With the help of the bibliometric analysis, the evolution over time, the connections between the keywords, as well as relevant features of social and conceptual structure of research field, could be observed and analyzed.

Keywords: sustainability, digitization, digitalization, digital transformation, bibliometric analysis
