Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are important pillars of the national economy and play an irreplaceable role in increasing employment, improving competitive intensity, and increasing overall economic vitality. Digital transformation is an inevitable path for enterprises to enhance productivity to create economic and social value and achieve high-quality development. At present, digital transformation for multinational groups and large enterprises is a hot research topic, but the research results of scholars on digital transformation for SMEs are few and scattered. Due to the inherent limitations of SMEs, digital transformation is difficult, the transformation ratio is small, so finding a path and method that can effectively guide the digital transformation of SMEs has become an urgent problem. Based on the existing literature, this paper proposes a three-dimensional model for digital transformation of SMEs, which unites the strengths of enterprises, government and the flat ecological platform, overcoming the obstacles of inappropriate enterprise cognition, weak technical foundation of transformation, lack of transformation talents, unclear transformation direction and lack of funds in digital transformation, and greatly reducing the transformation resistance of SMEs. It makes a certain contribution to guiding the digital transformation and enriching the digital transformation methods and paths of SMEs.
