Abstract:

At this stage, digital technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing have brought profound changes to social production and lifestyle. In order to adapt to the development of The Times, Chinese enterprises actively try digital transformation. In order to better reveal the driving role of enterprise digital transformation on the high-quality development of enterprises and promote enterprises to accelerate the pace of digital transformation, this paper constructs enterprise digital transformation indicators through text analysis, and takes China's A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2021 as samples. This paper empirically examines the impact of digital transformation on enterprise performance. The results show that: enterprise digital transformation has a positive impact on enterprise performance improvement, and this positive impact is more obvious in technology-intensive industries, and reducing management cost and financing cost is an important mechanism of enterprise digital transformation to have a positive impact on enterprise performance improvement. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 reinforces the positive impact of digital transformation on business performance.
