Exploring the relationship between digital transformation of enterprises and “information infrastructure” in the new infrastructure perspective - based on industrial connection

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between enterprise digital transformation and “information infrastructure” by analyzing the mechanism of enterprise digital transformation under the new infrastructure, constructing an input-output analysis model and a double difference model, and conducting a parallel trend test on the two models, bringing in the data between enterprise digital transformation and “information infrastructure” on the model, and studying the relationship between the two and the degree of influence. The relationship between the two and the degree of influence is investigated by bringing in the data of “information infrastructure”. The resulting data show that artificial intelligence accounts for 25.4% of digital transformation, followed by IoT at 19.7% and 3D printing at 1.4% of digital transformation. The change in the number of state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises before and after digital transformation is the largest in the range of 0-50%, with 44.4% change in the number of state-owned enterprises and 31.25% change in the number of non-state-owned enterprises. The research in this paper provides favorable data and analysis to prove that “information infrastructure” drives the digital transformation of enterprises.
