Abstract

Equipment manufacturers are under enormous pressure to transform and upgrade, so is the arduous task of comprehensive revitalization in Liaoning province. The only way to solve the development problems of Liaoning's equipment manufacturing companies is through digital transformation. The paper investigates the digitization level of Liaoning Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises, which has theoretical and practical significance for promoting the digital transformation of Liaoning equipment manufacturing enterprises. Based on the three dimensions of digital foundation, digital application and digital benefits, this paper constructs a digital level measurement index system for equipment manufactures in Liaoning Province. Through the entropy method, it is found that the digital level of the equipment manufacturers in the province of Liaoning has shown accelerated growth in the past decade. The rapid growth of digital infrastructure has provided a favorable digital environment and foundation for the digital application and digital benefits of Liaoning equipment manufacturing enterprises. Digital application is the most direct manifestation of equipment manufacturers' digital transformation. The development of digital efficiency level shows a relatively stable growth trend.
