The impact of digital transformation on ESG performance

This paper constructs an analytical framework of digital transformation affecting enterprise ESG performance based on the investment perspective. And empirical analyses are conducted using firm-level panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2020 in the China's Stock Markets. It is found that digital transformation significantly improves enterprise ESG performance. Digital transformation improves enterprise ESG performance by enhancing risk-taking capacity, mitigating agency conflicts, and suppressing management overconfidence. Heterogeneity analyses show that the effects of digital transformation on capital investment efficiency and firms' ESG performance are more pronounced among firms in mature and declining stages. Digital transformation has a significant impact on capital investment efficiency and corporate ESG performance in both technology-intensive and capital-intensive firms. These findings are crucial for understanding the key role of digital transformation in shaping long-term economic growth potential and sustainability from an investment perspective.

Suppliers 4.0 digital capabilities development in support of digital supply chains: a scoping review

ABSTRACT Digital transformation of Supply Chains (SCs) is imperative to remain competitive. Suppliers must adapt and digitally integrate into the emerging Digital Supply Chains (DSCs). This review examines how to develop the next-generation Supplier Development Programs (SDPs) in the context of DSCs in terms of the requirements to digitally transform a SC, and the emerging Digital Capabilities (DCs) needed by their members. A PRISMA scoping review was conducted to analyse existing research on DSC transformation frameworks and relevant DCs for the next-generation suppliers to digitally transform into “Suppliers 4.0” and support their emerging DSCs. Findings point out that there is no conclusive evidence in the scientific literature of a well-established Digital Transformation Framework (DTF) supporting the development of DCs in the current supplier base. An outlook is presented on the fundamental enablers for developing DSC capabilities and their alignment with the DCs required by suppliers.

Unpacking Digital Transformation: Identifying key enablers, transition stages and digital archetypes

This study aims to identify recurring Digital Transformation (DT) archetypes within firms and explore the capabilities and values associated with each archetype. Underpinned by the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Socio-Technical Systems (STS) theory, the study provides a framework explicating the enabling factors, their characteristics, interdependencies, operational capabilities, and resultant value creation within the context of digitalizing firm operations. Employing a deductive-inductive approach, an exhaustive literature review combined with an in-depth, multiple case study analysis of sixteen firms provides rich insights into the digital transformation journey. Findings reveal technology, data, human capital, processes, and organization structure as key enablers alongside their critical, complementary roles for transformation. Cross-case analysis identified instances of the DT framework, uncovering three archetypes: process efficiency, responsiveness, and strategic agility.
