Abstract

[Purpose/significance]In the post pandemic era of global economic downturn, the deep integration of digital economy and real economy is the key to promoting economic recovery and growth. As an important support for the resilience of the national economy, specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises urgently need to pay attention to the value of data elements, actively participate in the construction and trading of data markets, and drive business innovation and value creation with data. Therefore, exploring the digital transformation path of specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises is particularly urgent. [Method/process]Based on the TOE framework,this article uses fsQCA and NCA methods to select 6 elements at the "technology organization environment" level from 95 listed specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises as samples. From the perspective of internal and external factor linkage, this article explores the configuration path combination required for enterprises to achieve digital transformation paths. [Result/conclusion]The research findings indicate that none of the six antecedent variables alone can promote high-level digital transformation in enterprises. The driving mechanisms for high-level digital transformation can be divided into technology driven digital transformation, government support technology innovation dual wheel drive, and high-quality development driven digital transformation. Among them, enhancing enterprise innovation capabilities is the core condition for enterprises to achieve high-level digital transformation.
