The Impact of Digital Transformation on the High-Quality Development of Logistics Companies

In recent years, logistics companies have actively adopted advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. However, whether logistics companies can leverage digital technologies to truly achieve high-quality development remains underexplored. To clarify the impact of digital technology application on the high-quality development of logistics companies and its underlying mechanisms, this study conducts an empirical analysis using data from 151 logistics companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2008 to 2023. The findings indicate that the application of digital technologies positively promotes the high-quality development of logistics companies. Further, through an examination of the mechanisms, it is found that digital technology can reduce management costs, which in turn has a positive impact on corporate development. This study provides theoretical and empirical support for the digital transformation of logistics companies and offers insights into how logistics companies can achieve high-quality development.
