企业能否通过数字化转型催生新质生产力？ ——基于科技创新视角的实证研究

Can Enterprise facilitate New Quality Productive Forces through Digital Transformation？--Empirical study based on the perspective of Technological Innovation

摘要:

新质生产力作为中国现代化进程中形成的创新理论,其与数字化转型的有机结合是当前历史阶段面临的重大理论挑战。通过对2013-2023年中国A股制造业上市公司进行研究,实证检验数字化转型与新质生产力之间的关系。研究发现:数字化转型显著促进了企业新质生产力的提升。进一步研究发现,数字化转型通过提高企业科技创新能力进而促进新质生产力,并且高管的数字化背景在数字化转型和新质生产力之间发挥着正向调节作用。异质性分析显示,数字化转型提高企业新质生产力的边际作用在国有企业和中东部地区企业中更加显著。研究结果不仅为企业数字化转型催生新质生产力提供了理论依据,也为企业探索具体的实现路径提供了有价值的参考和启示。

Abstract:

As an innovative theory formed in the process of China''s modernization, the organic combination of new quality productive forces and digital transformation is a major theoretical challenge at the current historical stage. The relationship between digital transformation and new quality productive forces is empirically examined through a study of China''s A-share listed manufacturing companies from 2013-2023. Results indicate that digital transformation contributes significantly to the new quality productive forces. Further research found that digital transformation contributes to new quality productive forces by improving firms'' technological innovation capabilities, and that executives'' digital background plays a positive moderating role between digital transformation and new quality productive forces. Heterogeneity analysis showed that the marginal effect of digital transformation to improve the new quality productive forces of enterprises is more significant in state-owned enterprises and enterprises in the central and eastern regions. The findings provide a theoretical foundation for enterprises'' digital transformation in generating new quality productive forces and offer valuable references and inspirations for exploring specific implementation paths.
