🎉 Congratulations to our Authors! 🎉 We are thrilled to celebrate the success of our authors for their latest publication in the British Journal of Management (BJM), British Academy of Management. The paper is titled: "Employee Ownership and Firm Digital Transformation" The authors find that employee ownership drives digital transformation in firms, moderated by R&D personnel, female CEOs, and state ownership. They also find crucial role of employees in digitalisation and business model innovation. 🌍 Authors: 🎉Congratulation to Meitong Dong - University of Science and Technology of China! 🎉Congratulation to Yoona Choi - The Australian National University! 🎉Congratulation to Pengcheng Ma - Renmin University of China! 🎉Congratulation to Hongbo Cai - Beijing Normal University! 🎉Congratulation to Lin Cui - The Australian National University! 📊 Key Conclusions: Analysing data on Chinese listed firms from 2015 to 2021, the authors find that the adoption of employee ownership promotes firms’ digital transformation, and that this positive effect is moderated by R&D personnel (ability), female CEO (motivation) and state ownership (opportunity). Their findings reveal the role of employees in the digital transformation process, which deepens our understanding of the literature on employee ownership and business model innovation. 🔗 Read More & Cite the Paper: https://lnkd.in/edbdQ3n6
