摘要/Abstract

摘要： 数字技术向各行业的融合渗透,推动越来越多的企业开启数字化转型之路。与大型企业相比,中小企业往往缺乏数字技术、知识等资源,需要专业服务机构的协助来推进数字化转型。基于协同能力视角,对浙江中小企业数字化转型项目进行了探索性多案例研究。研究发现,中小企业与专业服务机构间知识距离过大会对数字化转型绩效产生负向影响,中小企业与专业服务机构间有效的协同可缓解知识距离对数字化转型绩效的负向影响。研究结论为中小企业通过提升协同能力,缩小与专业服务机构的知识距离,进而提升数字化转型绩效的实践提供了有益参考。

关键词: 数字化转型, 协同能力, 中小企业, 知识距离

Abstract: The integration and penetration of digital technologies into all the industries has driven more and more enterprises to embark on their digital transformation journey. Compared to large enterprises, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are frequently lacking of resources, such as digital technology, knowledge, etc., hence, the assistance from professional service organizations is often needed to promote their digital transformation. From the perspective of collaborative capability, this paper conducts an exploratory multiple case study on the digital transformation projects in SMEs in Zhejiang Province. The findings show that the larger knowledge gap between SMEs and the professional service organizations would produce a negative impact on the performance of digital transformation, while the effective collaboration between them can relieve the negative impact of knowledge distance on the performance of digital transformation. The conclusions of this study can provide beneficial references for SMEs to improve their performance in the practice of digital transformation through promoting their collaborative capability and reducing the knowledge distance between them and the professional service organizations..

Key words: digital transformation, collaboration capability, small and medium enterprises, knowledge distance
