To answer the above three research questions,based on the literature review of marketing digital transformation and resource action related theories,this paper uses interviews to collect first-hand information of case enterprises,and then carries out longitudinal case analysis.Through the research,it is found that enterprise marketing digital transformation is driven by leaders and market pressures,and carries out corresponding resource action allocation,from this,we can conclude the mechanism model of enterprise marketing digital transformation from the perspective of resource action.This paper not only enriches the research on the mechanism of enterprise marketing digital transformation,but also to some extent can supply reference for those enterprises in the confusion of marketing digital transformation. |
