Abstract

Abstract: Firms' digitalized transformation is becoming an unavoidable path to quality development of China's microscopic economic majority, and also a new drive to Chinese firms' upgrade and transformation. Resources synergy plays a critical role during firms' digitalized transformation. Uncertain economy policies may impact firms' will in innovation and investment. This paper, based on 2011 to 2019 A-listed manufacturing firms data in Chinese stock market, uses coupling coordination model to measure firms' resources synergy, and applies multiple regression model to explore the impacts of resources synergy on firms' digitalized transformation and to study the adjustment of uncertain economy policies on between resources synergy and firms' digitalized transformation. Resources synergy is positively correlated with firms' digitalized transformation, meaning it promotes the latter. Mechanism of firms' technical innovation on between resources synergy and digitalized transformation indicates that resources synergy can boost firms' digitalized transformation through enhancing firms' technical innovation. Uncertainty of economy policies will adversely affect the promotion of resources synergy on firms' digitalized transformation, the higher uncertainty, the weaker the positive impact. Compared with state-owned and non-east firms, the positive driving of resources synergy on firms' digitalized transformation works more on private and east firms. This paper presents suggestions on fulfilling the impacts of resources on firms' digitalized transformation, consolidating resources to increase their coupling coordination so as to raise the whole operating efficiency on firms' resources, improve the policy support system that can promote the digital transformation of firms, and minimize the uncertainty of economic policy, formulating and implementing appropriate policies to promote digital transformation of firms, in order to address the heterogeneity of digital transformation among different types of firms in China.

Key words: resources synergy, digitalized transformation, uncertainty of economy policies, manufacturing firms

摘要：

当今，企业数字化转型已经成为了我国微观经济主体高质量发展的必由之路，也成为了推动我国企业转型升级新的驱动力。由于资源协同在企业向数字化转型的过程中发挥了非常重要的作用，并且经济政策的不确定性也会对企业的创新意愿、投资行为等产生一定的影响，因此本文决定将2011—2019年我国沪深股市A股制造业上市企业作为研究样本，通过引入耦合协调度模型来对企业资源协同进行度量，并同时运用构建的多元回归模型，进而以探究资源协同对企业数字化转型的影响作用，以及经济政策不确定性在资源协同与企业数字化转型之间发挥的调节作用。研究结果表明：1）资源协同与企业数字化转型之间呈现出正相关关系，即资源协同对企业数字化转型具有正向的促进作用。经过进一步考察企业技术创新在资源协同与企业数字化转型之间的作用机制之后可以发现，资源协同通过促进企业技术创新，能够推动企业数字化转型。2）经济政策不确定性会负向调节资源协同对企业数字化转型的促进作用，即经济政策不确定性越高，资源协同对企业数字化转型的正向影响作用就会越弱。3）相较国有企业、非东部地区企业，资源协同对于企业数字化转型的正向驱动作用在非国有企业、东部地区企业中表现得更为显著。根据本文研究提出以下建议：1）企业一方面应充分发挥出各类资源在数字化转型中的积极作用，另一方面还要通过不断整合、重组资源配置，以提高各类资源间的耦合协调程度，并不断提升企业资源的整体运营效率。2）应逐步完善能够促进企业数字化转型的政策支持体系，并尽量降低经济政策的不确定性。3）应通过制定并实施对症下药、因地制宜的促进企业数字化转型政策，以解决我国不同类型企业在数字化转型方面存在的异质性问题。
