We used regression analysis to examine the direct and interaction effects of CEO academic experience and CEO duality on digital transformation in order to explain why firms vary in their digital transformation. Data analysis of manufacturing firms listed on the A-share market of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2007 to 2022 reveals that both academic experience and duality have significant positive direct effects on digital transformation. Both variables also mutually interact to promote digital transformation. This study not only makes an important contribution to the research on digital transformation and upper echelons theory but also provides useful guidance for firms developing their digitization strategy.
我们运用回归分析来检验首席执行官(CEO)学术经历和CEO两职兼任对数字化转型的直接影响和交互作用,以解释为何企业在数字化转型方面存在差异。对2007年至2022年在上海和深圳证券交易所A股市场上市的制造业企业进行的数据分析表明,学术经历和两职兼任对数字化转型均具有显著的正向直接影响。这两个变量还相互作用以促进数字化转型。本研究不仅对数字化转型和高层梯队理论的研究做出了重要贡献,也为企业制定数字化战略提供了有益指导。
