和为贵,谐为美:数字化转型与企业合作文化

Harmony is Precious and Beautiful:Digital Transformation and Corporate Cooperation Culture

数字化转型在赋能传统技术革新并重塑企业资源和能力的同时,能否推动企业文化和组织的变革?结合“和为贵,谐为美”的中华传统美德,基于2010—2022年A股上市公司的数据展开的实证研究表明,数字化转型有助于增强企业合作文化,且主要通过缓解信息不对称和提升企业ESG表现两条路径发挥作用。异质性分析表明,数字化转型对企业合作文化的正向作用在大规模、非资本密集型和机构投资者持股比例较高的企业更明显,且媒体正面报道对两者的关系具有强化作用。经济后果的分析显示,数字化转型通过增强企业合作文化有助于推动企业创新。基于上述研究结论,企业应适时地把握数字化转型的契机,积极培育守信用和追求合作共赢的企业文化;政府部门应因企制宜地推进数字化转型的长效帮扶政策和建立健全企业之间的合作交流平台。

While empowering traditional technological innovation and reshaping enterprise resources and capabilities,can digital transformation promote the changes in corporate culture and organization?Combining the traditional Chinese virtue of“harmony is precious and beautiful”,this paper conducts an empirical research based on data from the A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2022.The findings shows that digital transformation can help to enhance corporate cooperation culture,mainly through the two paths of alleviating information asymmetry and improving corporate ESG performance.The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the positive effect of digital transformation on corporate cooperation culture is more pronounced in the enterprises of large-scale,non-capital-intensive,or with higher proportion of institutional investor shareholding,and the positive media coverage can strengthen the relationship between the two.The analysis of economic consequences shows that digital transformation can help promote corporate innovation by enhancing their collaborative culture.Based on the above research conclusions,it is recommended that enterprises should seize the opportunity of digital transformation in a timely manner,actively cultivate a corporate culture of keeping promises and pursuing win-win cooperation.Government departments should promote long-term assistance policies for digital transformation tailored to enterprises and establish sound cooperation and communication platforms between enterprises.
