Abstract:With the rapid development of digital technology,the industrial Internet platform has become the core driving force to promote the industrial upgrading and innovative development of manufacturing enterprises.It has reshaped the ways in which manufacturing enterprises perceive market demands,optimize production processes,and innovate service models.This study introduces the social embeddedness theory to reveal the influence mechanism and action path of the structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness of the industrial Internet platform on the digital servitization transformation of manufacturing enterprises.And the moderating effect of platform openness was employed.A sample data of 367 manufacturing enterprises embedded in industrial internet platforms in China was selected for empirical research.The results show the followings.①Both the structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness of the industrial Internet platform have inverted U-shaped relationships with digital servitization transformation.②Market perception plays a partial mediating role between structural embeddedness and digital servitization transformation,as well as between relational embeddedness and digital servitization transformation.Resource reconstruction plays a partial mediating role between structural embeddedness and digital servitization transformation and a full mediating role between relational embeddedness and digital servitization transformation.③Platform openness strengthens the inverted U-shaped relationship between structural embeddedness and market perception as well as between structural embeddedness and resource reconstruction,weakens the inverted U-shaped relationship between relational embeddedness and resource reconstruction,and has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between relational embeddedness and market perception.The research results are of great significance for manufacturing enterprises embedded in the industrial Internet platform to achieve digital servitization transformation and enhance their core competitiveness.
