Abstract

This study explores the challenges and reform approaches related to developing sectors’ digital transformation, which is being fueled by the convergence of cutting-edge technologies, including big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Digital transformation is reshaping the organizational structures, production models, business practices, and decision-making processes within enterprises, establishing itself as a crucial new force in economic development. However, this transformation is fraught with challenges, including the selection and integration of technologies, the adjustment of organizational structures, escalating market competition, and mounting data security concerns. The analysis begins by exploring the background of digital transformation, influenced by factors such as technological innovation, evolving market demands, global digitalization trends, enterprises’ developmental needs, and supportive national policies. It identifies key issues like the complexity of technology integration, the difficulties in organizational restructuring, the intensity of market competition, and the significant risks associated with data security. To address these challenges, the paper offers several strategic recommendations: enhancing technical research and innovation, optimizing organizational frameworks, improving personnel training, sharpening market insights, and bolstering data security measures. Looking forward, as digital technologies develop more and find more uses, the digital transformation of emerging industries is poised to provide enterprises with substantial competitive advantages and new market opportunities.
