description The study aims to explore the effect of network strategic capabilities (NSCs) with its dimension of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain on digital transformation (DT) in Jordanian universities. The paper used the analytical-descriptive approach to analyze and interpret the results. The study population includes Jordanian universities, and the sample consists of top management. Out of 400, 304 questionnaires were completed and returned. The results show that AI (β = 1.219, t = 1.175, p < 0.00) and blockchain (β = –0.773, t = 0.437, p < 0.00) have a significant effect on DT. The first sub-hypothesis results concerning leadership revealed that AI (β = 0.525, t = 0.360, p < 0.03) and blockchain (β = –0.538, t = 0.186, p < 0.04) have a significant effect on leadership. The second sub-hypothesis result concerning strategic planning revealed that AI (β = 4.031, t = 3.050, p < 0.002) and blockchain (β = –5.150, t = 2.334, p < 0.020) have a significant effect on strategic planning. While for third sub-hypothesis concerning infrastructure, the results of AI were β = 0.818, t = 1.011, p < 0.032 and for blockchain β = 0.159, t = 0.121, p < 0.904. This result shows that AI has a significant effect on infrastructure, while blockchain does not have any effect. Therefore, NSCs must be integrated into the business process to enhance and boost DT efficiently and effectively.
