Abstract

Digital transformation has become a strategic imperative for enterprises, playing an increasingly pivotal role in driving business model innovation, transforming the way organizations create value, and shaping the innovation and entrepreneurship process and outcomes. However, previous research has predominantly focused on identifying favorable factors that drive the formation of digital transformation and emphasizing their positive effects, while overlooking the unfavorable factors that constrain digital transformation. Consequently, the mechanism for realizing digital transformation remains unclear. This study reviews the relevant literature on digital transformation, elucidates its connotation and significance, and explores the driving and constraining factors of enterprise digital transformation. Finally, the paper proposes future research directions for enterprise digital transformation.
