Abstract

This study takes 13 listed port enterprises in China as the research sample. Based on the TOE framework, six driving factors are constructed, namely digital R&D investment, technological application capability, strategic flexibility, investment allocation capability, policy support intensity, and industry competitive pressure. The fsQCA and NCA methods are employed to identify the key conditions and configuration paths for port enterprises to achieve a high level of digital transformation. The results indicate that digital transformation in port enterprises is the outcome of the synergistic effects of multiple conditions. Policy support and technological investment serve as critical constraining conditions in the transformation process, and different ports can achieve high-level digital transformation through differentiated configuration paths. This study provides empirical evidence for port enterprises in formulating digital transformation strategies and for relevant authorities in policy-making.
