The Impact of Digital Transformation on Corporate Financial Performance: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Abstract

The digital transformation of businesses has emerged as a critical factor influencing corporate financial performance in the 21st century. This study examines the multifaceted relationship between digital transformation initiatives and various financial performance indicators across different industry sectors. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of recent empirical studies, this research identifies key digital transformation components including cloud computing adoption, artificial intelligence integration, data analytics capabilities, and digital customer engagement platforms. The findings suggest that companies with higher digital transformation maturity demonstrate superior financial performance metrics, including increased profitability, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced market valuation. However, the relationship is moderated by factors such as industry type, company size, and implementation timeline. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on digital business transformation and provides practical insights for corporate decision-makers regarding digital investment strategies. The implications for accounting practices, financial reporting, and economic value creation are discussed, highlighting the need for new performance measurement frameworks in the digital economy.
