Drawing on the technology–organization–environment (TOE) framework, this article examines the influence of TOE factors on the success of digital transformation (DT) in manufacturing export small and medium-sized enterprises, and how these factors are configured to explain DT success. While PLS-SEM results show the individual effect of TOE factors, fsQCA results reveal five paths with different configurations for DT success. fsQCA results complement and extend the results of PLS-SEM analysis by showing that a condition can be present or absent depending on how it is combined with other factors. The combination of these two methodological approaches provides a more nuanced understanding of DT.

数字化转型中技术-组织-环境因素的成功配置：来自制造业出口型中小企业的证据


本文借鉴技术-组织-环境（TOE）框架，考察了TOE因素对制造业出口中小企业数字化转型（DT）成功的影响，以及如何配置这些因素来解释DT的成功。 PLS-SEM 结果显示了 TOE 因素的个体影响，而 fsQCA 结果揭示了 DT 成功的五种不同配置的路径。 fsQCA 结果补充并扩展了 PLS-SEM 分析的结果，表明某种情况可能存在或不存在，具体取决于它与其他因素的结合方式。这两种方法的结合提供了对 DT 的更细致的理解。
