Data Factor Driven High-quality Digital Transformation of Enterprise——A Longitudinal Case Study of Sogal's Intelligent Manufacturing

Abstract

Abstract: High-quality digital transformation is a key for an enterprise to seek its high-quality economic development, and this is because digital transformation enables data factors to reallocate corporate resources. This paper conducts a longitudinal case study based on Sogal 's transition from mass customization to intelligent manufacturing between 2008 and 2022, and brings about two theoretical contributions. First, it proposes a routine model of enterprise's high-quality digital transformation by defining the concept of high-quality digital transformation from a data-driven perspective, and extracting three realization paths of it:factor reconstruction, factor creation and factor generativity. Secondly, it contributes to the literature of adaptive transformation by revealing that the high-quality digital transformation is exploiting data factors to promote reallocation efficiency of firms' internal and external resources, and clarifying how such reallocation is adaptive to firm's different development stages.

Key words: data factors, digital transformation of enterprise, high-quality development, intelligent manufacturing, resource reallocation
