Promoting Traditional Enterprise Management Innovation Through Informatization

Abstract

This study explores the benefits and challenges of traditional enterprises in China in adopting informatization. The findings reveal that traditional enterprises face a variety of challenges, including resistance to change, lack of digital skills, outdated IT infrastructure, and limited government funding. However, informatization has led to significant improvements in product and service quality, productivity, cost savings, and innovation for the respondent enterprises. Strategies to overcome these challenges include developing a change management program, establishing a dedicated committee for budget allocation, fostering a culture of collaboration and communication among stakeholders, conducting a thorough assessment of current systems, developing a talent management strategy, collaborating with industry associations and government agencies, building a network of regulatory experts, and developing a proactive approach to engagement with regulatory agencies. Leadership commitment and financial resources are critical to the success of informatization initiatives. Technological infrastructure is crucial for information security and reliability. Government policies have mixed views on their impact on digital transformation efforts. Recommendations include addressing resistance to change, developing digital skills, overcoming hierarchical structures, communicating benefits, investing in technology, improving technological infrastructure, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and advocating for supportive policies.
