Digital transformation contributes to enterprise supply chain resilience, but how to control the risks involved and whether this control contributes to supply chain resilience remains to be explored. This paper aims to clarify the relationship between risk control and resilience in the process of digital transformation and to construct a digital transformation supply chain risk (DTSCR) control process system. In this paper, we first use the SLRs method to retrieve 469 papers to construct a dimensional system of DTSCR from the theoretical perspective; we then test whether DTSCR control helps supply chain resilience through a structural equation model; finally, based on the case study of the institute of building materials of China Academy of Building Research, we use a Bayesian believe network to construct a risk control system. Our research contributes to existing literature by improving supply chain resilience from a risk perspective, and the risk control system innovatively constructed in this paper is also of significance for enterprises to carry out DTSCR control in practice.

This paper aims to provide an overview of academic research within the field of digital transformation. The authors conduct a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer, Harzing’s Publish or Perish, and SciMAT to evaluate and visualize the bibliographic materials. The analysis focuses on journals, papers, researchers, institutions, and countries, using bibliometric indicators such as productivity, citations, H-index values, and TLS values. Graphical analyses illustrate co-authorship, co-occurrence of keywords, evolution of research topics, and network of influential researchers within digital transformation. The results complement each other and show that Germany, the United States, and the Russian Federation are the most influential countries in digital transformation research. Additionally, the results suggest that collaboration within this field is still weak, and many research topics are just beginning to emerge. This research provides a summary of most of the key aspects in digital transformation research and helps lay groundwork to shape the future of this growing field.

Digital transformation has brought about great social changes, and individuals are constantly facing the challenge of using emerging technologies. This article, for the first time, combines the Diffusion of Innovation Theory and Contract Theory to build a decision model to solve the above challenge. The decision model is constructed according to the key factors that influence the individual decision process, including technological relative advantages, intrinsic motivation, risk-taking, use-cost, technological complexity and compatibility. Through the analysis of the cost utility of each party in Health CrowdSensing technology, the question of whether individuals use the technology is transformed into the question of cost utility. In the experiments, the validity of the decision model is verified by numerical analysis. The decision model proposed in this article provides theoretical basis and experimental verification for further research on how an individual decides whether to use technology or not.

Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) can visualize the structure of complex causal relationships, so it is widely used in decision making. One of the important steps in DEMATEL is normalization, and it has received much attention in recent years. Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) is a universal principle, and it is an effective tool for determining the amount of information existed in evidence. In this paper, the authors propose MaxEnt-based DEMATEL. The greatest contribution in this paper is the use of MaxEnt principle to determine the normalized direct influence matrix, which allows to obtain the normalized matrix with minimal information loss. The authors illustrate emergency management to show the superiority of the proposed method.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the continuance usage intention on online healthcare community (OHC) platform for patients and examine the "doctor-OHC-patient" relationship. The proposed model attempted to integrate social interaction ties, shared value, trust with the indirect effects on the relationship between the determinants and continuous usage intention of the OHC platform. The empirical results showed that perceived critical mass, social identity, and para-social interaction would strengthen continuance intention via the social interaction ties. In addition, this study found that the shared values and trust increase users' willingness to continue usage of OHC. This study provides OHC platform managers with an in-depth understanding of the "doctor-OHC-patient" online social interaction. The results of this study may also help hospitals, health policy makers, and related healthcare practitioners to improve the way they use the web for advocacy and guidance, and provide insight into the intent of promoting the ongoing use of OHC platforms.

With the aim of exploring how digital transformation impacts enterprise development in China, this study takes Chinese A-share listed enterprises from 2007 to 2020 as the research sample and constructs a digital transformation index and an enterprise development index. The impact of digital transformation on enterprise development and its mechanisms are investigated. The empirical results show the following findings. First, digital transformation can significantly promote enterprise development. Second, the effect of digital transformation on enterprise development is stronger in enterprises located in inland regions compared to in coastal regions, and is more powerful in enterprises with high levels of development than in those lagging in development. Third, digital transformation can benefit enterprise development by alleviating financing constraints, effectively reducing business risks, and driving technological innovation. Fourth, China’s economic policy uncertainty is an important external factor weakening the role of digital transformation in driving enterprise development.

Technology search is crucial to establishing competitive advantage and improving firm performance. However, it is still unclear how different technology search strategies affect competitive advantage and performance at the firm level and how to determine technology search strategies in dynamic environments. Therefore, based on resource-based theory, this study explores the relationship between digital technology search, competitive advantage, and new venture performance (NVP) in dynamic environments with a sample of 267 Chinese new ventures. The results show that the breadth and depth of digital technology search positively affect NVP. Environmental dynamism weakens the positive effect of digital technology search breadth on NVP but strengthens the positive relationship between digital technology search depth and NVP. Moreover, digital technology search breadth affects NVP via differentiated competitive advantage, and digital technology search depth affects NVP through differentiated and cost-leadership competitive advantage. Finally, implications and limitations are discussed.

In the context of digital transformation, this emerging technologies input creates powerful digital capabilities. Despite of the long distance, The enterprises cooperate more closely through wireless networks in digital space than ever before. Thus the digital technology has fundamentally changed the total performance of Shanghai-based enterprises over the 2016-2020 period. This paper creatively explores the influence mechanism of digital transformation through the mutual information measures on enterprise development We use the helix model to the interactive relationship transformation among location, industry, vertical industrial linkages and cooperative partners for the enterprises which is based on the degree of link among the quadruple variables. It shows transformation of enterprise structure and innovation and performance by measuring the mutual information. As a result, this paper reveals transformation of the total performancewith emerging technologies. In addition, it shows the transformation of industrial and spatial structure in Shanghai by comparing other countries.
