Abstract

Digital technology innovation (DTI) is the core driving force for the development of the digital economy. This paper brings digital technology innovation and the supply chain of auto parts manufacturing under the same framework. This paper uses Stata 18 to empirically analyze the panel data of 130 A-share auto parts listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2022. The digital technology innovation indicator is divided into three levels: substantial digital technology innovation (SDTI), non-substantial digital technology innovation (NDTI), overall digital technology innovation (ODTI). To explore its impact mechanism on enterprise performance. The empirical results show that: (1) Digital technological innovation (DTI) has a positive and significant impact on enterprise performance, and supply chain resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital technology innovation and enterprise performance, and R&D investment (RDI) positively moderates the role of supply chain resilience in promoting enterprise performance. (2) Heterogeneity analysis showed that the impact of supply chain resilience on enterprise performance was more significant in small and medium-sized enterprises. There are significant differences between different groups of business ownership. In economically underdeveloped regions, the effect of digital technology innovation on enterprise performance is more significant. This paper complements the perspective of supply chain to study the relationship between digital technology innovation and enterprise performance, expands the existing research, and its heterogeneity analysis provides new insights for understanding China’s auto parts manufacturing industry. This provides a basis for strengthening digital technology innovation and promoting the sustainable development of the auto parts industry.
