Digital Government and Enterprise Digital Transformation:The Road to Digital China
Digital government is the core of digital China.It is an urgent reality for digital China to lead digital transformation through digital government.Based on text analysis and principal component analysis,the paper constructs enterprise digital transformation index,and discusses the influence and mechanism of digital government on enterprise digital transformation.The results show that digital government significantly promotes the enterprise digital transformation.From a macro point of view,digital government plays a positive role in the enterprise digital transformation by promoting the digital development environment.From a micro point of view,digital government helps enterprises increase government subsidies,which in turn enables enterprises to digital transformation.Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital government is more conducive to the digital technology-driven dimension than the digital outcome dimension,reflecting the basic supporting role of digital government for enterprise digital transformation.In addition,the promoting effect is more significant in the samples of non-state-owned enterprises,enterprises in industries with more competition,enterprises in central and eastern regions,and enterprises in regions with a good initial digital government foundation.Further analysis of economic effects shows that the promotion effect of digital government on digital transformation not only significantly improves the level of enterprise innovation,but also drives high-quality development.Compared with the existing literature,the marginal contributions of this paper are as follows.First,it enriches the research on the economic effect of digital government.This paper gives micro-level evidence that digital government drives digital development.This will help to further understand the role of digital government,and provide new theoretical support and empirical basis for further promoting the high-quality development of digital China with digital government.Second,the influence mechanism of digital government on enterprise digital transformation is investigated from macro and micro perspectives.From a macro point of view,it clarifies how the digital government cultivates and improves the hard and soft environment of digital development,and then positively influences the digital transformation of enterprises.From a micro point of view,it clarifies how the digital government can improve the business conditions of digital transformation through direct support such as government subsidies,and then empower digital transformation.Third,it constructs enterprise digital transformation indicators based on text analysis and principal component analysis to provide useful supplement and reference for related research methods.According to the rich connotation and characteristics of digital transformation,this paper comprehensively measures the digital transformation from the technology-driven dimension and the digital outcome dimension.Fourth,from the level of enterprises,industries and regions,this paper examines the heterogeneous effects of digital government on digital transformation,and provides useful insight for better playing the positive role of digital government.Based on the findings of this paper,we put forward the following policy recommendations.First,the government should make overall plans to further release the dividends of digital government,give full play to the leading effect of digital government,and promote digital China to open a new chapter.Second,we need to optimize the digital development environment and strengthen the conditions for the digital government to play its role.For example,we should further explore the collaborative transformation of digital government and institutions driven by digital technology,optimize the business environment,smooth the transmission mechanism,and make better use of the role of digital government in the enterprise digital transformation.Third,the government should form a differentiated development plan based on the heterogeneity of the digital government effect.It is necessary to further strengthen top-level design and overall coordination,promote the coordination of digital government construction in various regions,and reduce the development gap.At the same time,the government should focus on encouraging various regions to carry out digital government innovation according to their development characteristics.
