摘要
This study examines how internal control mechanisms within Chinese enterprises influence their journey towards digital transformation. Focusing on listed companies in China, data from 2012 to 2022 are analysed to ascertain the effects of internal control quality on embracing digital transformation. This study finds that firms with robust internal control frameworks are more inclined to undertake digital transformation initiatives. However, the paradox where digital transformation, despite its potential benefits, initially appears to detrimentally affect the financial performance of these enterprises is also highlighted. This negative financial implication is less pronounced in companies with strong internal controls, particularly non-state-owned and larger enterprises.
