摘要

本研究探讨了政治顺应性对 2011-2020 年中国家族企业数字化转型的影响。我们发现，政治顺应通过加强战略领导力、技术聚焦和组织能力，极大地促进了数字化转型。同时，它还能促进风险承担，降低代理成本，缓解财务约束。在经济政策不确定性较高、高管人员信息技术知识有限、家庭成员在党委中任职、企业地理位置靠近政治中心北京的情况下，这种影响更为明显。此外，使政治与技术战略保持一致不仅能推进数字化转型，还能提升企业的环境、社会和治理（ESG）形象和企业价值。

Political conformity and digital transformation: Evidence from China

This study investigates the influence of political conformity on digital transformation in Chinese family businesses from 2011 to 2020. We find that political conformity significantly boosts digital transformation by strengthening strategic leadership, technology focus, and organizational capabilities. It also fosters risk-taking, reduces agency costs, and eases financial constraints. The impact is more pronounced in situations in contexts with high economic policy uncertainty, when executives have limited IT knowledge, family members hold positions in the party committee, and the firm is geographically proximate to the political center, Beijing. Additionally, aligning political conformity with technology strategies not only advances digital transformation but also enhances the businesses' Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) profile and firm value.
