The role of internal control and digital transformation between political connections and financial performance: evidence from China
ABSTRACT Political connections are the main social resource of a company. Internal control and digital transformation are different tools that increase the efficient distribution of resources. This study explores the relationship between executive political connections and financial performance. It also examines the function of internal control quality and digital transformation in terms of this relationship. We used data from Chinese A-share listed companies as a sample. The results suggest that having political connections can significantly improve financial performance and that the quality of internal control plays a partial mediating role in state-owned enterprises. Moreover, when digital transformation is taken as a moderating variable, the role of political connections or internal control in enterprise performance will be weakened. Enterprises should take full advantage of political connections and establish a high-quality internal control system. When enterprises do not have political connections, they can actively carry out digital transformation to change the situation.
期刊介绍:
The growth of the Asia Pacific region and the rising presence of its multinationals in world markets has raised a number of questions about the origins of national economic success. Asia Pacific Business Review addresses these key issues and draws together the lessons of the analysis of culture, economies, history, politics and societies in the area, in order to explore business-related phenomena in the Asia Pacific countries, both in their general and specific contexts. The Review is intended for both academics and interested observers, contains the contributions of recognized experts, and is essential to anyone seeking the latest research on Asia Pacific business in a readily available, approachable form. We welcome articles which deal with nations and societies in the Asia Pacific region, namely those in East Asia and South-East Asia (but not South Asia), including those in APEC and ASEAN, individually or comparatively. Of interest also are contributions on the Asia Pacific economies, comparing those inside with those outside, or those investing in it. We do not, however, publish papers based solely on countries from outside the region.
