Enterprise Digital Transformation and Supply Chain Resilience
Under the influence of multiple negative environmental factors,the vulnerability of the supply chain is becoming more and more prominent,and enhancing the resilience and security of the supply chain has become the focus of China's cur-rent attention.With the wave of digital economy,digital transformation is gradually becoming a new engine to drive the trans-formation and upgrading of supply chain.How to leverage digital transformation to improve supply chain resilience is a cur-rent reality that requires urgent research,but no literature has yet provided direct empirical evidence on this.Based on the construction of supply chain resilience indicators,this paper examines the impact of enterprise digital transformation on sup-ply chain resilience and its transmission mechanism.The sample used in this paper is panel data of A-share listed firms from 2007 to 2022.Research findings indicate that enterprise digital transformation can significantly contribute to supply chain resilience improvement.In terms of the transmission mechanism,enterprise digital transformation promotes supply chain resilience en-hancement through two channels:promoting supply chain diversified allocation and optimizing supply and demand matching.Heterogeneity analysis shows that for enterprises with high environmental uncertainty and low level of internal control,as well as those located in the downstream of the industrial chain and in regions with low level of marketization,the boosting effect of enterprise digital transformation on supply chain resilience is more significant.Further research finds that digital transforma-tion for supply chain resilience does not result in the loss of economic performance,but continues to promote the economic performance of enterprises;"Chain Leader"enterprises and supply chain policies play a certain positive incentive role in the process of digital transformation for supply chain resilience.The contributions of this paper lie in three main aspects.First,this paper enriches the economic consequences of enter-prise digital transformation.While research on the impact of enterprise digital transformation on supply chain development patterns has been presented in recent years,no literature has yet directly examined the impact of digital transformation on sup-ply chain resilience.This paper goes further to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between the two.Second,this paper is based on the research framework of benchmarking,mechanism testing and heterogeneity analysis.It reveals the"theoretical black box"between enterprise digital transformation and supply chain resilience,and examines the impact of digital transformation on supply chain resilience in different contexts.Third,the findings of this paper have strong theoretical significance and practical inspiration.This paper explores the incentive role of"Chain Leader"enterprises and supply chain policies on the impact of digital transformation on supply chain resilience.This extended research echoes the government's proactive initiatives to cultivate"Chain Leader"enterprises and build supply chain systems.
