Abstract

This paper selects the relevant data of A-share listed companies of manufacturing enterprises from 2014 to 2021 to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the absorptive capacity of manufacturing enterprises and the regulatory effect of executive incentives on digital transformation and absorptive capacity of enterprises. The results show that: (1) Digital transformation has a significant positive correlation to the absorptive capacity of manufacturing enterprises; (2) Executive compensation incentives can positively regulate the relationship between digital transformation and absorptive capacity of manufacturing enterprises; (3) The negative direction of executive equity incentives regulates the relationship between digital transformation and the absorptive capacity of manufacturing enterprises.
