An analysis method of enterprise digital transformation effect based on investor data of public companies

Abstract

In the context of the trend of Digital transformation of enterprises, this paper empirically examines the differences in the impact of founders and strategic investment controllers on Digital transformation of enterprises, taking private listed companies from 2007 to 2020 as research samples. The research results indicate that the founding controller is beneficial for listed companies to actively promote the digital process of the enterprise; However, both financial and industrial investment controllers will inhibit the Digital transformation of enterprises, and the inhibitory effect of financial investment controllers is stronger. Digital finance and control rights further strengthen the above regression results. Individual controllers, vertical industry controllers and professional financial investment controllers are conducive to the Digital transformation of enterprises. The mechanism research shows that the company's innovation input and output, and information transparency play a mediating role between the controller heterogeneity and the enterprise's Digital transformation. The research results of this paper enrich the research perspective and content of the relationship between corporate controllers and Digital transformation, and have certain reference significance for enterprises to improve corporate governance and actively promote Digital transformation.
