Abstract

The digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is an important component of China's digital construction. Although previous studies have made significant progress in examining the effects of SME digital transformation on efficiency and performance improvement, they have overlooked the exploration of its antecedents, especially the unclear role of the comprehensive impact of various antecedents. Based on the TOE framework, this study conducted antecedent configuration analysis through a questionnaire survey of 172 SMEs and research methods such as fsQCA and NCA. The authors found that: (1) The success of SME digital transformation is not driven by a single factor, but rather the result of the adaptive linkage of various antecedent variables, which has the characteristic of multiple concurrencies, and (2) there are 11 configurations of conditions for SME digital transformation, which can be classified into four paths. This study enriches the research on antecedent factors in SME digital transformation and provides references for SMEs' digital transformation practice.

什么样的配置能促进数字化转型？

中小企业数字化转型是中国数字化建设的重要组成部分。以往的研究虽然在考察中小企业数字化转型对效率和绩效提升的影响方面取得了重要进展，但却忽视了对其前置因素的探索，尤其是各种前置因素的综合影响作用不明确。本研究基于TOE框架，通过对172家中小企业的问卷调查以及fsQCA和NCA等研究方法进行了前因配置分析。作者发现(1）中小企业数字化转型的成功并非由单一因素驱动，而是各种前因变量适应性联动的结果，具有多重并发的特征；（2）中小企业数字化转型的条件配置有11种，可分为四种路径。本研究丰富了中小企业数字化转型前因因素的研究，为中小企业数字化转型实践提供了参考。
