ABSTRACT

The rapid development of digital economy and digital technologies has rendered digital transformation an indispensable strategic imperative for logistics enterprises seeking innovative growth. This study utilizes panel data from China's A-share listed logistics companies spanning 2016 to 2024 to empirically examine the impact of enterprise digital transformation on corporate innovation. The findings demonstrate that digital transformation significantly enhances corporate innovation in China's logistics sector. And heterogeneity analysis reveals this catalytic effect to be particularly pronounced among large-scale non-state-owned enterprises in eastern regions. Further investigation identifies financial technology (Fintech) as playing a positive moderating role in this digital transformation-innovation relationship within China's logistics industry.
