企业数字化能力:研究述评与展望

Corporate Digital Capability:A Review and Prospects

数字化能力被视为企业数字化转型的先决条件与核心驱动能力。本文首先呈现了数字化能力研究的整体概况和演进脉络,提炼了数字化能力的概念内涵,并将其与IT能力、大数据能力概念进行辨析,同时剖析了数字化能力的不同维度构成。其次,从环境、组织和个体层面探讨了数字化能力的前因后果和作用机理,依据“影响因素—作用路径—影响效应”范式构建了数字化能力的整合性研究框架。最后,结合当前数字化能力研究中存在的空白,本文提出了未来应深化对数字化能力概念内涵理解、开发成熟测量量表、拓展研究情境、丰富研究方法、探索不同理论视角下影响机制研究。本文可以为后续开展基于中国情境的数字化能力研究提供思路和参考。

Digital capability is regarded as the prerequisite and core driving capability of enterprise digital transformation,and it is one of the emerging topics that academia and industry have paid attention to in recent years.However,the development history of digital capability research is relatively short,and there are many problems such as unclear evolution,inconsistent connotation of concepts,unsystematic distribution of results,and unclear development directions.Therefore,this paper firstly presents the overall overview and evolution of digital capability research,refines the connotation of digital capability and identifies it with the concepts of IT capability and big data capability,and analyzes the different dimensions of digital capability.Secondly,it discusses the antecedents and consequences of digital capability and the mechanism of its effects from the environmental,organizational,and individual levels.Finally,taking into account the gaps in the current digital capability research,this paper proposes that the future should deepen the conceptual understanding of digital capability,develop mature measurement scales,expand research contexts,explore different theoretical approaches,and explore the impact mechanism research from different theoretical perspectives.The purpose of this paper is to provide ideas and references for subsequent research on digital capabilities based on Chinese contexts.
