Construction And Empirical Research On Digital Evaluation Index System Of Manufacturing Enterprises Based On Innovation Value Chain

With the rise of emerging technologies such as mobile Internet,Internet of Things,and big data,human society is entering the fourth era of industrial revolution: the digital age.Digitization has triggered tremendous changes in global manufacturing companies,providing an opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing companies.Through digitalization,the traditional manufacturing model has been revolutionized,and new manufacturing models such as mass customization and service-oriented manufacturing can be realized.The huge potential of digital display has led more and more manufacturing companies to join the ranks of digital construction.According to the IDC survey,67% of the world's top 1000 companies and 50% of China's top 1000 companies are implementing corporate digitalization strategies by 2018.However,in the digital construction,due to the lack of scientific and reasonable digital evaluation system for manufacturing enterprises,many manufacturing companies have problems such as improper planning and redundant construction,which hinders the digitalization process of manufacturing enterprises.Therefore,it is urgent to construct a digital evaluation system for manufacturing enterprises to assist the digital implementation of manufacturing enterprises.Throughout the existing research,the evaluation research on the manufacturing enterprises mainly focuses on the evaluation of informationization,the evaluation of integration of two technologies,the measurement of enterprise digital maturity and the measurement of the maturity of enterprise digital transformation,and few scholars evaluate the digitalization level of manufacturing enterprises.Carrying out research is not conducive to the digital implementation of manufacturing companies.Secondly,regarding the construction of the index system for manufacturing enterprise evaluation,few scholars design the evaluation index system based on the theoretical perspective,ignoring the inherent logic between the evaluation index and the evaluation object,which leads to the unconvincing evaluation result.Based on this,this paper cuts into the related concepts of digitalization,based on the definition of the concept of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises,based on the theory of innovative value chain,constructs the evaluation index system of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises from three aspects: digital input,digital application and digital benefit.Using the combined evaluation method of AHP and factor analysis,120 manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province were evaluated to test the effectiveness ofthe evaluation system.The evaluation results show that the digital evaluation system of manufacturing enterprises constructed in this paper is feasible and the evaluation results can better reflect the actual situation of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises.Finally,on the basis of the analysis of the evaluation results,several suggestions for promoting the digitization of manufacturing enterprises are proposed.The main innovations of this paper are as follows:(1)From the perspective of management,the concept of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises is clarified,and the reference for related research is provided.(2)Based on the characteristics of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises,based on the innovation value chain theory,the digital evaluation system of manufacturing enterprises is constructed to make up for the lack of digital evaluation research of manufacturing enterprises.(3)The combination evaluation method combined with the analytic hierarchy process and the factor analysis method is used for evaluation research,which enriches the application of the evaluation method.
