Path and Effect Analysis of Digital Transformation for Small and Medium-sized Manufacturing Enterprises

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises are generally resource-poor, do not have high-tech foundations, are labour-intensive, and thus the development and impact of digitalisation on such enterprises will be studied in this paper. This paper will examine in detail the micro-foundations, path differentiation and effect generation mechanisms of the reform at home. Digital mapping provides the basis for change, and the efficiency of resource utilisation depends on the ambidextrous nature and resource organisation system of the organisation; thus, digital technology can promote the collaborative resilience of production networks. The three kinds of transformation paths are as follows: gradual integration based on modularisation of the production process, value chain extension of the product-service system, and niche transition through platform collaboration. Changes in the Structure of Operational Efficiency, Endogenous Growth of Innovation Effectiveness and Heterogeneity with Non-linear Characteristics in Economic Performance. The organisation of this paper will provide some theoretical support for understanding the internal reasons why small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises are going digital.
