The authors take Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share manufacturing enterprises from 2012 to 2022 as samples,focusing on the intelligent transformation of these enterprises,explore its impact mechanism on enterprise organizational resilience and highquality development,and conduct empirical tests on the fixed effect,mesomeric effect,and heterogenicity based on quantitative measurements. It is found that intelligent transformation significantly enhances the organizational resilience of manufacturing enterprises,facilitates improvements in total factor productivity and achieving high- quality development. The robustness of this conclusion is confirmed through empirical testing. Furthermore,heterogeneity analysis reveals that regional marketization degree, enterprise life cycle,capital intensity,and equity nature contribute to variations in how intelligent transformation improves organizational resilience. Based on this,from the macro level,the authors put forward the common suggestions for the government to strengthen the top- level design,provide supporting support for the digital- intelligent transformation of manufacturing enterprises and for enterprises to play a leading role in actively promoting the intelligent transformation of the whole process and the whole life cycle;from the meso level,they put forward the suggestions that enterprises can improve organizational resilience to cope with the increasing risks of environmental uncertainty by establishing a robust financial strategy,identifying and avoiding various risks,optimising the production process,improving the efficiency of production and enhancing the robustness of the supply chain and building the corporate culture;and from the micro level,they put forward the suggestions that manufacturing enterprises with different natures should make reasonable and prudent strategic choices of intelligent transformation based on different characteristics,so as to optimize the efficiency of resource allocation,improve market competitiveness,increase the investment in intelligent technology and equipment,and empower the value chain to be symbiotic and win-win in order to support the enterprises to achieve resilient growth. It provides theoretical and practical reference for the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry to promote the industrial resilience level and realize the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
