制造企业数字化转型的前因组态研究——基于TOE理论框架的分析

Research on antecedent grouping of digital transformation in manufacturing enterprises:based on the TOE theoretical framework

数字化转型是推动我国制造企业实现高质量发展的重要途径。基于TOE理论框架,构建了数字化转型的影响因素模型,并运用fsQCA方法探究6个前因条件与制造企业数字化转型的复杂组态效应。研究发现:制造企业数字化转型并非由单一因素驱动,而是技术、组织、环境条件协同作用的结果。制造企业高数字化转型存在4条驱动路径,根据核心条件不同可归纳为“全要素驱动型”、“技术导向型”、“规模优化型”和“内外联动型”;而非高数字化转型仅存在1条“要素缺失型”路径。研究结果不仅从组态视角丰富了数字化转型的相关研究,而且也为制造企业数字化转型提供路径参考。

Digital transformation is an important way to promote high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises in China.Based on the TOE theoretical framework,a model of the influencing factors of digital transformation is constructed and the fsQCA method is applied to explore the complex group effect of six antecedent conditions and digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises.The study found that digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises is not driven by a single factor,but is the result of the synergy of technological,organisational and environmental conditions.There are four driving paths for high digital transformation in manufacturing enterprises,which can be categorised as“all-factor-driven”,“technology-oriented”,“scale-optimised”and“inside-out”depending on the core conditions.There is only one“factor-deficient”path for non-high digital transformation.The results of this study not only enrich the research on digital transformation from a group perspective,but also provide a reference for the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises.
