Research On The Impact Of The Business Environment On Digital Economy Development

Against the backdrop of an overall global economic downturn,the digital economy is growing against the trend and has become a new economic growth point for a country’s economic recovery,providing a new impetus for a country’s economic development,and countries have placed the development of the digital economy in an important strategic position.However,while the digital economy has enabled rapid economic development,it has also placed higher demands on the business environment,forcing us to shift from optimizing the traditional business environment to building a digital business environment.A review of the relevant literature also shows that a good business environment plays an important role in promoting the development of the digital economy.As China’s digital economy enters a stage of rapid development,creating an excellent digital business environment that is compatible with the development of the digital economy is conducive to China’s seizing the opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and achieving high-quality economic development.Therefore,it is particularly necessary to study the influence mechanism between the business environment and the digital economy and to explore how to further optimize the business environment for the digital economy so that it can become a strong driving force for the development of the digital economy in the current context.Therefore,this study is based on transaction cost theory and configuration theory.Firstly,it compares relevant literature to clarify the concepts of the business environment and digital economy before analyzing the influence mechanism of the business environment on the development of the digital economy.Secondly,taking G20 countries as the research object,the entropy value method is used to construct an evaluation index system of the digital business environment in G20 countries from six dimensions,including digital infrastructure construction,government regulation and services,market environment,digital talent supply,rule of law protection,personal information security and data protection,and the corresponding scores are derived to quantitatively evaluate each index.On this basis,the qualitative comparative analysis(QCA)method was used to explore the complex mechanism of action between the business environment and the development of the digital economy,and the impact paths of the business environment affecting the development of the digital economy and the corresponding driving models were summarized from the obtained groupings through comparative analysis of them.The following conclusions are drawn from the analysis:(1)The impact of the business environment on the development of the digital economy has a complex mechanism of action,and a single condition cannot constitute a necessary condition for generating a high level of digital economic development.(2)According to the findings of this study,there are three paths of influence to achieve high levels of digital economy development,each of which involves a combination of different business environment factors,which can be classified into three patterns of influence based on differences in the dominant factors: "government and talent-led technology-oriented," "rule of law and talent-led technology-led technology-led technology," and "rule of law-led technology-led technology-led technology."(3)This study finds that the factors influencing high or low levels of digital economy development are causally asymmetrical,and there are four paths of influence that produce low levels of digital economy development.The reasons for the high and low outcomes are not entirely opposite,but each has its own unique pathway of influence.(4)Government regulation and services,as well as the supply of digital talent,are the core elements driving the development of the digital economy and appear as core conditions in several pathways of influence.(5)There are alternative relationships between the various elements of the business environment that influence the development of the digital economy,with digital infrastructure development,the market environment,and personal information security and data protection being able to function as a combination of conditions or as a single condition,respectively,under certain circumstances.Therefore,in order to create a suitable digital business environment and to drive the continuous development of the digital economy,it is important to understand the different influencing paths and driving models that shape the development of a high level of digital economy from a "group perspective." In the future development,the top-level design should be improved,the government should play a leading role in the development of the digital economy,and the digital talent pipeline should be continuously strengthened.On the basis of the country’s strengths,we should create a digital business environment that is appropriate to the development of the digital economy so as to drive the high-level development of the digital economy through differentiated development paths.
