"协"中生智:产业链数字化协同对企业智能制造的提升效应OACHSSCD

Driven by the global digital wave,the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain shows a dig-italized trend of collaboration,which brings new opportunities for the development of intelligent manufacturing in enterprises.Taking the A-share manufacturing listed companies in China from 2011 to 2023 as the research object,this paper empirically examines the impact and mechanism of digital collaboration of industrial chains on the intelli-gent manufacturing of enterprises.This paper finds that digital collaboration of industrial chains enhances the intel-ligent manufacturing of enterprises,and this conclusion remains valid after robustness tests and endogeneity tests.The mechanism test shows that digital collaboration of industrial chains improves the intelligent manufacturing of en-terprises by alleviating financing constraints and generating innovation spillover effects.The heterogeneity analysis results show that for enterprises adopting discrete manufacturing models,in leading market positions,and with a good foundation in intelligent manufacturing,the effect of digital collaboration of industrial chains on their intelli-gent manufacturing is greater.Further analysis shows that the enhancing effect of digital collaboration of industrial chains has a long-term nature,which can help manufacturing enterprises become global leaders in intelligent manu-facturing.This paper reveals the micro-mechanism of enterprise intelligent manufacturing development from the per-spective of digital collaboration of industrial chains and puts forward suggestions for enterprises to transform and up-grade to intelligent manufacturing. The contributions of this paper are as follows.First,this paper extends empirical research on the digital eco-nomic effects of industrial chains to the field of intelligent manufacturing.By drawing on the intelligent manufactur-ing maturity model and using the entropy method to construct a comprehensive indicator of the intelligent manufac-turing of enterprises,it overcomes the limitations of existing measurement methods.Second,exploring the path to improve the intelligent manufacturing of enterprises from the perspective of inter-enterprise collaboration in the in-dustrial chain is a beneficial supplement to research on the influencing factors of intelligent manufacturing.Third,through empirical analysis,it is found that digital collaboration of industrial chains enhances the intelligent manu-facturing of enterprises through mechanisms such as alleviating financing constraints and promoting innovation spill-overs,thereby revealing the cross-border interaction mechanism of enterprises in digital collaboration of industrial chains.Finally,this paper further discovers that digital collaboration of industrial chains has a continuous enabling effect on enterprise intelligent manufacturing,promoting enterprises to move towards the highest level of global in-telligent manufacturing,which has important practical significance for building a manufacturing power and achie-ving high-quality development of the real economy.
