Successful configurations of technology–organization–environment factors in digital transformation: Evidence from exporting small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry
基于技术-组织-环境框架,研究制造业出口中小企业数字化转型成功的影响因素,发现五种不同的因素配置路径,为管理者提供组合策略参考。
Drawing on the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework, this article examines the influence of TOE factors on the success of digital transformation (DT) in manufacturing export small and medium-sized enterprises, and how these factors are configured to explain DT success. While PLS-SEM results show the individual effect of TOE factors, fsQCA results reveal five paths with different configurations for DT success. fsQCA results complement and extend the results of PLS-SEM analysis by showing that a condition can be present or absent depending on how it is combined with other factors. The combination of these two methodological approaches provides a more nuanced understanding of DT.
