摘要
We examine how the academic background of Top Management Teams (TMT) affects corporate digital transformation (CDT). Utilising a sample of listed firms in China for 2007-2022, we test for the influence of the critical mass and range of TMT members. Our results add to the existing body of knowledge by demonstrating a relationship between the academic background of TMT and CDT. Findings suggest that TMT is a significant facilitator of digital transformation, contingent upon the specific academic backgrounds that TMT members possess. Findings suggest that the strategic appointment of TMT members with specific academic backgrounds can significantly digital transformation.
