Abstract

The world is currently experiencing a rapid development of the digital economy. Digital transformation has become a key focus of long-term strategic deployment for enterprises, in order to adapt to the demands of the digital age, enhance operational efficiency, strengthen core competitiveness, and achieve sustainable development goals. In the rapidly changing market environment, digital transformation is not only an inevitable choice for Specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative enterprises (SRDI enterprises), but also as a key strategy for long-term sustainability. Therefore, how to effectively promote digital transformation and achieve optimal performance has become a central issue in the strategic planning of SRDI enterprises, attracting widespread attention at both the national and social levels. This study adopts the case analysis method to deeply explore the digital transformation path and performance of Jinpan Smart Technology, a representative SRDI enterprise, and concludes that digital transformation significantly has a significant positive effect on the performance of SRDI enterprises. Not only does this study enrich academic research on the digital transformation of SRDI enterprises, but it also provides theoretical foundations and reference value for the digital transformation practice of SRDI enterprises through the case of Jinpan Smart Technology.
