Abstract

Existing research has insufficiently explored the mechanisms through which digital transformation affects supply chain performance. This study, using small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises as a sample and based on 365 questionnaires, employs PLS-SEM to empirically examine the relationship between the two as well as the mediating effects of financial flow, information flow, and physical flow. The results indicate that digital transformation significantly and positively enhances supply chain performance, with the mediating effects of financial flow, information flow, and physical flow decreasing in that order. The study clarifies the underlying logic, providing a basis for corporate and government decision-making.
