Research on the Impact of SMEs'Digital Platform Capabilities on Their Digital Transformation
In order to explore how small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises(SMEs)rely on digital platform capabilities to improve their digital transformation performance,this study,based on the dynamic capability theory,takes 398 manufacturing SMEs as the research samples,and applies hierarchical regression to explore the influence mechanism of digital platform capabilities on their dig-ital transformation performance,and reveals the chain mediation roles of absorptive capacity and or-ganizational agility in this process.The findings show that the platform integration capability and platform reconfiguration capability of SMEs,as two dimensions of their digital platform capability,both have a significant positive impact on their digital transformation performance;absorptive capacity and organizational agility have a partially mediating effect in the relationship between the platform in-tegration capability,platform reconfiguration capability of SMEs and their digital transformation per-formance,respectively,and they jointly play the role of chain mediators.
