Abstract

In the new development stage, promoting digital transformation is an inevitable choice to promote the high-quality development of enterprises. The panel data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022 as the research sample was taken, which used the entropy value method to innovatively construct enterprise high-quality development index system, examined the empowering effect of digital transformation on high-quality development of enterprises, and tested the threshold effect of R&D investment on high-quality development of enterprises as a result of the role of digital transformation and the possible differences in heterogeneity. The results show that digital transformation significantly promotes high-quality development of enterprises. Furthermore, influenced by the level of R&D investment, digital transformation has a threshold effect on the high-quality development of enterprises. Further research finds that there are three levels of heterogeneity in the threshold effect, the region where the enterprise is located, the nature of the property right, and the size of the enterprise. The findings of the study can provide empirical evidence and important theoretical references for enterprises to formulate digital transformation strategies and determine the reasonable range of R&D investment.
