How Digital Transformation of Chinese Fishery Listed Companies Enhances Supply Chain Efficiency

To cope with the complex and ever-changing business environment, improving supply chain efficiency is an important issue that needs to be studied now. The development of digital technologies provides a new avenue for enhancing supply chain efficiency. Based on the theory of information asymmetry and the TOE framework, this paper uses panel data of 9 Chinese A-share listed fishing companies from 2015 to 2021 to construct a fixed-effects model and explore digital transformation’s impact on supply chain efficiency. The results indicate that digital transformation significantly improves supply chain efficiency, and this conclusion remains robust after a series of robustness tests. On this basis, the paper further verifies the positive impact of digital transformation on supply chain efficiency using the fsQCA method based on the TOE framework and provides pathways for improvement. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for promoting the digital transformation of Chinese fishery companies and improving supply chain efficiency. Based on research on China’s fisheries, this study further explores the implications of digital transformation for the efficiency of foreign fisheries supply chains. Digital transformation is a critical pathway to enhancing the efficiency of global fisheries supply chains. Foreign fisheries can draw on the digital research of China’s fisheries supply chains, integrating their characteristics to promote the intelligent upgrading of their supply chains.
