Abstract

Abstract: Promoting the digital transformation of SMEs was of great significance for Chinas manufacturing industries to improve quality and increase efficiency. SMEs were facing problems in digital transformation, such as high cost, fuzzy path, talent shortage, and lacking analytical framework and reference paradigm for digital transformation. The key factors to achieve digital transformation were clarified by building an analytical framework for SMEs digital transformation herein. Through case studies, 4 basic path models of digital transformation of SMEs were summarized and proposed. Based on the above researches, targeted suggestions were proposed for SMEs digital transformation in China, so as to promote the digital and intelligent development of SMEs.

Key words: small and medium-sized enterpris(SME), digital transformation, intelligent manufacturing, development mode

摘要： 推动中小企业数字化转型对我国制造业的全面提质增效具有重大意义。中小企业在数字化转型中存在成本过高、路径模糊、人才短缺等问题，且缺少数字化转型的分析框架与参考范式,因此构建了中小企业数字化转型的分析框架，明确了实现数字化转型关键因素，通过案例研究归纳提出了中小企业数字化转型的四类基本路径模式。基于上述研究，为我国中小企业的数字化转型提出针对性对策建议，以期推动中小企业数字化、智能化发展。
