Research On The Two-Dimensional Competence And Performance Of Digital Transformation Of SME

How SMEs can better establish digital transformation capabilities and carry out digital transformation is an important issue for China in the context of the transition economy.On the one hand,SMEs account for 76.57%of the total number of enterprises in China and contribute more than 60%of China's GDP.Under the transitional economy,the digital transformation of SMEs is the engine of China's economic transformation.On the other hand,compared with large-scale enterprises,SMEs generally lack cognitive ability of digital transformation and the capabilities and resources to develop and deploy their own digital platforms.In addition to the special situational characteristics of digital transformation,SMEs are faced with more complex issues.This study focuses on the digital transformation of SMEs,and studies the one the most important factors affecting the digital transformation of SMEs in the transition economy of China—the two-dimensional capability of digital transformation(team capability and action capability),and its impact on the digital transformation performance of SMEs.Firstly,this study reorganizes the characteristics and problems of the digital transformation of SMEs through literature review,combines with the situation characteristics of digital transformation,and focus on the issue on the impact of digital transformation capability on transformational performance.Secondly,this study analyzes the existing theory of how digital transformation capability affects transformational performance.It further focuses on the team and action capability,and sorts out the existing research on the interpretation of the effects of digital transformation and two-dimensional capacity on transformation performance,and finds that there is a positive relationship between digital transformation capability with the transformation performance.Finally,this study conducts case studies,questionnaire surveys and empirical studies on SMEs in Hangzhou and Chengdu,and under different situational characteristics and transformational strategies,finds the positive effects of the two-dimensional capacity of digital transformation on the digital transformation performance of SMEs.The empirical results show that:(1)The differences in the situational characteristics of digital transformation of SMEs have a significant impact on the strength of the two-dimensional ability of SMEs in digital transformation.(2)The two-dimensional capability of digital transformation has a positive impact on the digital transformation performance.(3)The digital transformation strategy has a regulating effect on the positive relationship between the two-dimensional ability and the transformation performance.This research explains whether the two-dimensional capability(team ability and action ability)of digital transformation have a signifiacant influence on the digital transformation performance of SMEs.The research in this paper can help SMEs to combine their own situational characteristics of transformation and to build up the elements of the company's own team capability and action capability.And help companies combine their own characteristics,make digital transformation strategy choices,and help companies to better carry out digital transformation.
