IMPACTS OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM VIETNAM

Abstract

Today, with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, digital transformation is taking place strongly in many different fields. Digital transformation can bring a competitive advantage to enter-prises. However, enterprises also spend a lot of money to implement digital transformation. Therefore, whether or not digital transformation increases company performance is always of concern to company leaders. This paper aims to analyse the impact of Digital Transformation on Financial Performance, including Revenue, Profit and ROA in Vietnam. Digital Transformation is represented by the variables Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet of Things. We used Google Forms to survey 314 leaders of enterprises in Vietnam. Then, we used descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis to analyse the data. Research results show that Cloud Computing, Big Data Ana-lytics, and Artificial Intelligence positively impact financial performance. Enterprises that apply digital transformation have better financial performance than other enterprises. In contrast, there is no connection between the Internet of Things and financial performance. In addition, Firm type and Firm size also affect financial performance. FDI enterprises have higher performance than others, and more giant-sized enterprises have higher performance than others.
