Enterprise Digital Transformation Mechanism from the Perspective of Resource Arrangement

Abstract

With the advent of the digital economy era, the digital transformation of enterprises has become an inevitable choice. The theoretical innovation of this paper is based on the resource arrangement theory, focusing on “What is the motivation of enterprise digital transformation?” “What is the mechanism of enterprise digital transformation?” And other research issues, proposed that enterprises in different stages will optimize the use of digital resources according to different needs, form corresponding digital capabilities, and create different values, and built a research framework of “transformation motivation – resource arrangement – capacity formation – value creation”. This paper selects the digital transformation process of Leader Harvest as the research object, and divides the digital transformation process of enterprises into three parts according to different transformation motives: single point business digitalization driven by lean production, business process digitalization driven by continuous improvement, and management network digitalization driven by efficient decision-making. Through a three-month case study of Leader Harvest, nearly 100000 words of materials, such as semi-structured interview materials, observation materials and second-hand materials, were coded and processed, and finally the digital transformation mechanism of enterprises at different stages was obtained, which is convenient for other enterprises to reference when carrying out digital transformation. The inadequacy of this paper is that it only analyzes the internal transformation motivation of a single enterprise, and does not take the demand of the supply chain of the enterprise into consideration. The future research direction is to maximize the efficiency of the entire supply chain while realizing the digital transformation of a single enterprise.
