Objective: Through an empirical analysis of the performance of SMEs undergoing digital transformation, this study attempts to identify the influencing factors that determine their sustainable development to provide reference for academic researchers and industrial decision makers. Method: This study first uses an interview method to investigate the impact of SMEs’ three main resources on digital transformation: digital technology, employee digital skills, and digital transformation strategy. Second, we assess the impact of digital transformation on financial performance. Using the structural equation model, 335 valid questionnaires were recovered through the questionnaire method, and the key factors were identified using SPSS and SPSSAU tools. Results: In the Chinese context, digital transformation affects SME performance, and the three resources mentioned above are positively correlated with SMEs’ digital transformation. Digital transformation is positively correlated with performance, and it is the mediator of the impact of digital transformation strategies on performance. Conclusion: For SMEs, focusing on investing in digital technologies, employee digital skills, and digital transformation strategies are three key factors that are beneficial for digital transformation, thus helping to improve performance and maintain their sustainable development.

Digitalization and digital technologies have risen sharply in commerce in form of online offers and advice, even in formerly less technology-based sectors. By using the example of flower shops, the aim of this study is to find out whether customers perceive digital offers to be generally useful or necessary, or if local service is still sufficient. To answer this question, a quantitative survey was conducted in selected flower shops in Germany. 82 customers took part. Although most customers have not yet resorted to an online offering when buying flowers, over 66% of respondents are generally in favor of digital offers in the floristry industry.

“…It is demonstrated that integrating supply chain processes facilitates operational decisions. Making the information required for effective decisions is available at every critical point, which tends to improve the overall efficiency of operations [54] links this aspect to improvement in the production process, both in terms of cost-saving and improvement in quality. Such improvements in the efficiency of the businesses tend to positively impact the financial performance of the business as well [55].…”

The present study explores the effect of supply chain integration on the operational performance of an internet-based online business based in China. The study is based on primary data collected through a questionnaire distributed to supply chain professionals of the stated companies. After distributing the questionnaire and collecting the responses, an exploratory factor analysis is conducted to validate the instrument. Afterward, the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) analysis is conducted, and finally, the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique is used to determine the validity of the research hypotheses. The results indicate that integrating different aspects of the supply chain positively impacts the operating performance, improving the financial performance of the companies involved in the integration process.
