Abstract
Competitive advantage in enterprises can be substantially enhanced by the strategic deployment of digital transformation capabilities, which can be considered as distinctive resources. Within the domain of manufacturing enterprises, the discernment and classification of the structural dimensions inherent in digital transformation capabilities can serve as a pivotal factor in facilitating a more adaptable and seamless progression through the digital transformation journey. In pursuit of this objective, 22 typical manufacturing enterprises are selected as data samples, and a four-dimensional digital transformation capability system is constructed through the processes of excerpt, coding, classification, reliability and validity, etc. Combined with the view of capability hierarchy, a three-level capability structure model of digital transformation capability is constructed. The results show that digital transformation capability includes digital technology capability, digital operation capability, digital organization capability and digital strategic capability, and it is found that there is a hierarchical relationship among the capabilities of each dimension. The research findings have extended the theoretical boundaries of digital transformation, augmented the applicability scenarios of dynamic capability theory, and established a foundational framework for future empirical investigations into the digital capabilities of manufacturing enterprises.
