Abstract: Virtual workplace adoption has created many challenges as well as excellent opportunities for organizations. The purpose of this study is to implement a business digitalization strategy so that micro, small and medium enterprises intending to adopt virtual workplace can use as guidelines. To help managers address this challenge more systematically, we describe how organizations successfully adopt virtual workplace in smart cities. Most existing studies examined the role of virtual workplace on business performance and worker productivity. We focus specifically on the implementation strategies as the under?researched areas of academic inquiry. We adapted the 11 strategic questions from the study of Hess, Matt, Benlian and Wiesböck and provide possible answers from various relevant studies, so mangers can use as guidelines when formulating a virtual workplace strategy.A survey of the literature was conducted and relevant study results providing the implementation guidelines for adopting the virtual workplace are presented. Findings from the research can help managers better understand the successful implementation of the virtual workplace. Because transforming traditional workplace into virtual workplace brings challenges and as well as opportunities, it is important for managers to understand them completely in order to eliminate the risks and increase the favorable effects.
