Abstract

Purpose

Industrial Internet Platform (IIP) integrates various new information technologies and forms an ecosystem around the platform. It promotes the optimization of resource elements and the collaboration of industrial chains, driving traditional enterprises towards comprehensive Digital Transformation (DT). This research explores the mechanisms through which the Industrial Internet Platform enables the digital development of enterprises.

Design/methodology/approach

This study constructs an Industrial Internet Platform Ecosystem (IIPE) from an ecosystem perspective. Later, a systematic literature review was used to design a specific path for IIPE to enable enterprises' DT from the perspective of basic activities and organizational structure.

Findings

The results indicate that in IIPE there is a hierarchical structure in the enabling mechanism of IIP. Firstly, the IIPE enhances the digital capabilities of enterprises through the foundational activities of DT. Secondly, the IIPE promotes the adjustment in enterprise structure and strategic orientation for adapting to the DT.

Research limitations/implications

More and more enterprises enter the IIPE and grow together in the ecosystem. As a result, the overall level of digitalization of the industry can be enhanced and all enterprises realize the expected benefits of DT.

Originality/value

Existing research recognized the role of IIP in enterprise management or production processes, but the DT of enterprises is not a single aspect. This research elaborates the mechanism of comprehensive DT of enterprises from the perspective of ecosystems and discovers specific paths for DT.

Abstract

Purpose

Low-carbon city policies (LCCP) are crucial environmental regulatory frameworks driving China’s transition toward a low-carbon economy. This study investigated the impact of LCCP on enterprise digital transformation (EDT).

Design/methodology/approach

This study employed a staggered difference-in-differences model for Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2021. It also used a cross-sectional model for further analysis.

Findings

We found that the implementation of LCCP can promote EDT. This impact was more pronounced among enterprises with greater media attention in high-energy-consumption industries and well-developed economic areas.

Practical implications

This study has practical implications for the LCCP, as it evaluates the consequences of macro-level LCCP on micro-level corporate economic consequences. It provides an important reference for developing countries to implement LCCP and promote green industry upgrading.

Originality/value

This study broadens the impact of the LCCP, providing valuable insights into substantiating carbon neutrality goals and fostering the influencing factors of EDT.
