Strategic Information Disclosure and Digital Firm Performance:An Open Paradox Perspective
Based on the open paradox perspective,this study investigates the tension between or-ganizational legitimacy and competition caused by strategic information disclosure of digital firms,and examines its performance implications.Using unbalanced panel data of Chinese digital listed compa-nies from 2012 to 2020,we find that strategic information disclosure has a U-shaped relationship with digital firm performance.The level of firm innovation,market concentration and industry transparen-cy flatten the U-shaped relationship and invert it into an inverted U-shaped relationship.Comparative analysis based on the perspective of digital context heterogeneity found that,the U-shaped relation-ship between strategic information disclosure and performance is magnified in digital firms,regions with higher level of digital economy and core industries of digital economy.
