The northwest region of China faces many practical challenges, and its digital economy lags behind other areas of China. Digital transformation is a new source of competitive advantage in the digital economy era, which can help northwest enterprises rebuild their competitive advantage in the digital age, accelerate the development of the digital economy in the northwest region, bridge the digital gap between the East and the West, and promote the high-quality development of the national digital economy. In this study, the PLS-SEM method is used to collect data from 172 enterprises across five provinces in northwest China, to deeply analyze the mechanism and path through which digital transformation reshapes enterprise competitive advantage, identify the key sticking point hindering digital transformation in northwest China, and then propose more targeted strategic suggestions. It is found that the resource base of enterprises in northwest China is generally weak, making it difficult to deliver direct competitive advantage; existing enterprise resources can provide basic conditions for digital transformation and resource-orchestration capability; although digital transformation cannot directly create competitive performance, it can indirectly deliver competitive advantage by positively affecting resource-orchestration capability; resource-orchestration capability directly and significantly affects enterprise competitive performance and is the core competency for enterprises to build digital resilience.

Factoring financing is the most widely used form of supply chain finance, which has been adopted by more and more enterprises. The existing literature focuses on the motivation of suppliers to adopt factoring financing and the factors that affect the development of factoring. However, little attention is paid to the results of factoring. This study uses the event study method, draws on the Extended Resource based theory (ERBT), discussing how the factoring business announcement affects the stock market value of listed companies from the perspective of competitive advantage and the firm's own characteristics. By manually collecting 205 factoring business announcements from 115 Chinese listed companies from October 2019 to December 2022, we found that: (1) from the perspective of competitive advantage, the announcement of factoring business by non-Combination of Industry and Finance enterprises or their holding enterprises has more positive impact on the stock price of the enterprises. There is no obvious relationship between the size of factoring quota and stock price. (2) From the perspective of the enterprise's own characteristics, the announcement of factoring business by state-owned enterprises and small-scale enterprises can have a positive impact on the stock price of the enterprise. Before and after the Civil Code came into effect, there was no significant difference in the relationship between factoring business announcements and stock prices. This study uses secondary data to fill the gap in the study of the impact of factoring announcements on stock market value. This paper discusses the relationship between factoring business announcement and stock market value from the perspective of competitive advantage for the first time, providing theoretical guidance for managers to adopt factoring business under what circumstances. In addition, this study also provides documentation for the empirical study of factoring business announcements in China.

从国外实践来看，混业经营是大势所趋，但解释混业现象的国外传统理论未能得到实证结果的有力支撑，本文借鉴国外资源基础理论（Resource based theory），结合对欧美一些综合性银行的调查，从客户关系管理（Customer Relationship Management――CRM）角度分析诠释金融混业经营现象，指出混业经营的目的是维持客户关系、有效提升客户价值，其实质是银行实施的以客户为中心的经营管理战略。本文旨在为中国的金融混业探索提供新的研究视角。

随着经济改革体制的不断深入，中国金融业将朝着混业经营的方向发展。综合性银行是一部分金融企业的发展方向。综合性银行是一种可以提供全方位金融服务，并可以持有金融和非金融企业股份的金融机构(Benston， 1994). Saunders and Walter (1994) 和Canals (1997) 描述了不同种类的综合性银行的组织管理形式，Holland (2001)建立了一种理想化的综合性银行管理模型。本文通过对欧美15家银行的调查，并结合中国金融业的具体情况，探讨综合性银行发展中的内部整合问题。 作者认为综合性银行不是简单的增加几个职能部门，也不是简单的并购几家公司，围绕客户关系进行内部结构重组和整合，才是发展综合性银行的关键。本文用资源为基础的理论（Resource based theory)( (Wernerfelt, 1984; Barney, 1991) 和客户价值理论（Woodruff, 1997；Slater, 1997)来分析解释综合性银行的组织结构问题，认为金融企业的客户关系是重要的竞争优势，围绕客户观系组织企业的资源，可以有效提升客户价值。本文分析了国外综合性银行中存在的问题，为中国综合性银行发展的理论和实践提供借鉴。
