A decision support model for evaluating risks in the digital economy transformation of the manufacturing industry

In recent decades, digital technologies have seriously changed socioeconomic systems on a global scale. Unfortunately, consequential issues have remained mostly uninvestigated. The literature lacks research into the risks that may arise in the procedure of developing digital capabilities that have considerable impacts on firms’ innovative growth. In addition, inadequate research has been conducted on challenges that may arise when a business is being developed in the context of the digital economy. Moreover, the advent of new risks specific to the digital economy has not been addressed in the overall system of modern economic relations. As a result, the current study aims to investigate the major areas of relevance to transforming companies into the digital economy, considering the impacts of new risks encountered during such transitions. Along this line, this paper develops a decision support model for evaluating risks in the digital economy transformation of the manufacturing industry. This approach is applied to compute the weights and the study ranks the most important risks for digital economy transformation in the manufacturing industry. In addition, the proposed method model is implemented to find industries’ priorities of different risks for the digital economy transformation of the manufacturing industry. Finally, a case study is carried out to assess the most important risk for the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. The results show that lack of top management involvement (f7), with a weight of 0.0563, an unstable market environment in terms of the uncertainty industry, and market volatility, with a weight of 0.0542, are the most considerable risks for the digital economy transformation (DET) of the manufacturing industry. Additionally, comparison and sensitivity analyses are made to illustrate the advantage of the presented approach.

Impact of environmental education on environmental quality under the background of low-carbon economy.

How does environmental education affect environmental quality? There is no consensus among theorists. This paper is devoted to exploring the influence mechanism of environmental education and environmental quality under the background of a low-carbon economy from a theoretical model and empirical analysis. The research method of this paper includes two aspects. First, from the consideration of the central planner, this paper draws on and improves the Ramsey Model to explore the interaction mechanism among environmental education, environmental quality and green growth. Second, this paper uses provincial panel data from China from 2011 to 2017 for empirical analysis, which mainly verifies the impact mechanism of environmental education on environmental quality. The theoretical model shows that environmental education enhances green consumption intention through residents' environmental awareness and enhances enterprises' cleaner production motivation through environmental pressure. Correspondingly, the pressure to improve environmental quality will also promote the economy's endogenous growth through the digital economy's transformation and the accumulation of human capital. The empirical analysis confirms that environmental education can improve environmental quality through green consumption and pollution control. Still, the effect of improving environmental quality only through pollution control is not apparent, and pollution control needs to be combined with environmental education, especially in high-pollution areas. Finally, this paper puts forward some suggestions for optimizing environmental education.
