Enterprise Digital Intelligence Transformation is based on the Digital Conversion of information and process service upgrading, further touching the enterprise’s core business, with the goal of building a new business model of Digital Intelligence Transformation at a higher level. Based on dynamic capability theory, this paper conducts an in-depth study on the mechanism of enterprise Digital Intelligence Transformation and firm performance. This paper selects manufacturing companies listed in China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2013 to 2022 as the research sample, and analyzes and tests the sample data using empirical research methods in order to explore the actual impact of Digital Intelligence Transformation on firm performance, including the specific pathways of action and moderating effects. This study helps enterprises to positively face the megatrend of Digital Intelligence Transformation and upgrading and the challenges it brings, and to grasp the new opportunities in the digital era. This study finds that enterprises carry out digital empowerment transformation and development strategies, and implement information Digital Conversion, service upgrading, and Digital Intelligence Transformation to promote firm performance to different degrees. Enterprise innovation resilience has a mechanism effect between information digitalization conversion enterprise performance and process service upgrading enterprise performance. The higher the environmental uncertainty, the greater the positive contribution of information digitalization to firm performance. Digital Conversion is the base and service upgrading is the process. The current sample enterprises have limited years of data collection, and most of them have only carried out the strategic implementation of Digital Conversion or servitization, and have not reached the high-level stage of digital and intellectual transformation. Therefore, it is found that enterprise innovation resilience has not yet shown a significant role mechanism effect between digital–intelligent transformation and enterprise performance at present. And environmental uncertainty has not yet shown a significant moderating effect in the stage of Servitization Upgrading and digital–intelligent transformation. The marginal contributions of this paper are mainly reflected in the following: (1) This study introduces the dynamic capability theory to explore the role of Digital Intelligence Transformation (Digital Conversion + service upgrading) on enterprise performance. (2) This paper investigates the role of Digital Intelligence Transformation in influencing the performance of enterprises from the Digital Conversion and service upgrading phases, and enriches the relevant role and regulatory mechanisms. (3) This study provides new ideas and strategic suggestions on Digital Intelligence Transformation for enterprises with different factor intensities, at different stages of development, and in different regions.
Enhancing the resilience and security of industrial and supply chains is a key initiative to drive high-quality development of the real economy, yet the role of state-owned capital participation in this context remains insufficiently understood. This study empirically investigates how state-owned capital involvement affects the supply chain stability of private enterprises, addressing a significant gap in the literature on state-owned capital’s impact on supply chain management. Drawing on data from Chinese A-share-listed private enterprises spanning 2013–2022, this study adopts an empirical research design grounded in empowerment theory to construct models that assess the effect of state-owned capital participation on supply chain stability. Mechanism tests and heterogeneity analyses are conducted to identify mediating pathways and boundary conditions. The results suggest that state-owned capital participation significantly enhances the supply chain stability of private enterprises. State-owned capital influences private enterprises through two mechanisms: resource enabling and optimization of internal governance structures. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals that the positive effect is more pronounced among private enterprises with weaker bank-enterprise relationships, lower product competitiveness, poorer internal control systems, and higher levels of negative media coverage. By clarifying the stabilizing role of state-owned capital participation in enhancing supply chain stability, this study contributes to both supply chain management theory and the impact of state-owned capital on private enterprises. It also provides policy strategies to strengthen industrial and supply chain resilience and security, while offering actionable insights into targeted policy interventions tailored to different types of private enterprises.
The efficiency of scientific and technological achievement transformation is constrained by supply–demand matching challenges. Concurrently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers novel pathways for digital-intelligence service platforms to mitigate this challenge. To resolve AI investment decision problems of such platforms, this study constructs a bilateral matching model involving high-quality/low-quality technology providers and high-capability/low-capability technology seekers. Based on expected value theory and Stackelberg games, it derives optimal AI investment strategies for the Commercial Platform (platform’s expected revenue maximisation objective) and the Public Welfare Platform (social expected revenue maximisation objective). Findings indicate that higher AI investment contributes to a rise in the matching probability between high-quality providers and high-capability demanders. Owing to incomplete benefit internalization, platforms of different types show divergent willingness for AI investment. The AI investment level of the Commercial Platform is lower than that of the Public Welfare Platform, which results in losses of expected matching value. Furthermore, declines in AI technology costs and reduced external selection value of suppliers will drive platforms to raise their AI investment intensity. This research provides theoretical foundations for optimising AI strategies in online technology transfer service platforms and informing targeted government interventions.
