This study investigates the causal effect of manufacturing servitization on the consumption-based carbon rebound effect, employing the empirical approach based on the value-added trade and SBM-DEA model. The results show that improving the servitization level will lead to a significant decrease in the consumption-based carbon rebound effect of the global manufacturing industry. Moreover, the main paths through which the manufacturing servitization inhibits the consumption-based carbon rebound effect are the human capital and government management. We also find that the impact of manufacturing servitization is more substantial in advanced manufacturing and developed economies, which is smaller in manufacturing sectors with higher global value chain positions and lower export penetration levels. These findings suggest that improving the level of manufacturing servitization helps alleviate the consumption-based carbon rebound effect and is conducive to achieving the target of global carbon emission reduction.

This study investigates the relationship between digital transformation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance in the context of SMEs. Drawing upon Resource Orchestration Theory, this research proposes a theoretical model that examines the direct effect of digital transformation on ESG performance and the mediating roles of innovation capabilities and servitization level in this relationship. PLS-SEM and fsQCA were employed to analyze survey data from 215 SME executives.

Digitalization and servitization are two crucial transition pathways for manufacturing firms, with their relationship explored by some existing studies. However, there is limited research on the mechanism of their interaction's effect on the firm financial performance. To address the gap, this paper draws on service-dominant logic, resource-based view and dynamic capabilities theory to establish a theoretical model.

To identify the effect and mechanism of servitization level and digital transformation on the performance of listed sporting goods manufacturing enterprises in China, we construct an index to measure the degree of digital transformation using data from 31 sporting goods manufacturing firms listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares and the New Over-the-Counter Market in China. The study uses the proportion of service business income in enterprise operating income to quantify servitization level, by analyzing the semantic expression of national digital economy policy and collecting digital category keywords from enterprise annual reports using crawler technology. Thereafter, we analyze the impact of servitization extent and digital transformation on company outcomes as well as if digital evolution acts as a moderating factor between servitization and company outcomes.

The expeditious advancement and elevation of the manufacturing industry's transformation and upgrading represent pivotal strides for China in its ascent toward the upper echelons of the global manufacturing value chain. Currently, China's manufacturing-industry transformation faces the dual-lag quandary of digitalization and servitization. The notion of digital servitization elucidates the interdependent relationship between digitalization and servitization, unveiling the mechanisms underlying the formation of digital servitization.
