Resource Bundling: How Does Enterprise Digital Transformation Affect Enterprise ESG Development?

The value created by enterprise digitalization is not only reflected in economic value but also has social and environmental value. Using data on A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2020 as research samples, empirically tested the impact and mechanism of enterprise digital transformation on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Overall, enterprise digital transformation can significantly improve the ESG performance of enterprises. Further, the mechanism testing shows that there are three main driving factors in promoting digital transformation: restraining the short-sightedness of management; improving the transparency of the internal information of enterprises; and improving the technological innovation of enterprises. The conclusion of the study enriches the strategic level of enterprise sustainable development from the perspective of “resource allocation”, and reveals the “black box” of the causal relationship between digital transformation and enterprise ESG performance.

“…It is considered that state-owned enterprises play a vital role in economic development, such as boosting regional economic growth [ 92 ], accelerating industrial upgrading [ 93 ], and promoting environmental improvement [ 94 ]. The government is a key stakeholder in the operation and management of state-owned enterprises [ 93 ], which makes state-owned enterprises have a special governance structure.…”

With the development of blockchain, big data, cloud computing and other new technologies, how to achieve innovative development and green sustainable development in digital transformation has become one of the key issues for enterprises to obtain and maintain core competitiveness. However, little of the literature has paid attention to the impact of digital transformation on enterprise green innovation. Using the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of enterprise digital transformation on green innovation and its transmission mechanism, by constructing double fixed-effect models. The results show that digital transformation has remarkably promoted the green innovation of enterprises. R&D investment, government subsidies, and income tax burden have played a conductive role between digital transformation and enterprise green innovation. Furthermore, digital transformation can significantly promote the high-quality green innovation of enterprises and also plays a more significant role in promoting the green innovation of high-tech enterprises and state-owned enterprises. A robustness test is carried out by using the lag data and changing the measurement methods of the dependent variable and independent variables, and the research conclusions are still valid. Based on resource-based theory and dynamic capability theory, this paper reveals the impact path of digital transformation on enterprise green innovation, further expanding the research field of digital transformation and enriching the research on the influencing factors of enterprise green innovation. This paper provides policy suggestions for the government to improve the enterprise green innovation level by increasing government subsidies and providing tax incentives and also provides reference for digital transformation enterprises to accelerate green innovation by increasing R&D investment, obtaining government subsidies, and acquiring tax policy support.

“…Past research on the effect of EMNEs' state ownership on their internationalisation has emphasised upon the direct advantages of government ownership, such as easier access to funding and state support when investing in risky host environments (Cui & Jiang, 2012;Duanmu, 2014;Ramasamy et al, 2012;Yin & Zhang, 2012). There has also been an ongoing discussion in the literature about the value of CSR by SOEs in emerging economies (Khalid et al, 2021;Shahab et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2016). Our finding implies that state ownership enables EMNEs to reduce their domestic CSR intensity insofar as the effect on internationalisation is concerned.…”

“…At the same time, ONGC, through its CSR, also contributes to other 'national issues' in India, such as rural development, women's empowerment and sponsoring higher education for poor students (Banerjee, 2020). SOEs' social and environmental actions are thus better aligned with national policies, which leads them to be better embedded in the home country's institutional system (Khalid et al, 2021), although they also have to explicitly report their CSR due to pressure from the government (Li & Belal, 2018;Zhu et al, 2016). However, as Shahab et al (2019) find, CSR quality ratings have a lesser effect on SOEs' financial distress than that of their private counterparts.…”

Emerging-market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) are, on the one hand, investing in both developed and developing countries aggressively. On the other hand, they are facing greater pressures from their home and host countries to operate in a socially responsible manner. In this paper, combining institutional theory with strategic perspectives on corporate social responsibility (CSR), we argue that EMNEs spending on CSR more intensively in their domestic context are likely to have a greater scope of internationalisation. We also argue that this effect decreases for government-owned EMNEs and increases when EMNEs target developed host markets or institutionally stronger emerging markets. Our data used to test our hypotheses are based on a sample of 686 Indian firms. Our findings provide support for most of our arguments, and we contribute to a greater understanding of the relationship between CSR and internationalisation.
