Purpose With the development of digital economy, pressure on firms to transform digitally continues increase. The top management team (TMT) is subject decision-making, and its structure expected influence process outcome corporate transformation. This study aims explore impact TMT transformation from perspectives relationship-related task-related faultlines. Design/methodology/approach obtained 7,510 observations belonging 1,971 publicly listed Chinese manufacturing between 2011 2019. It analyzed above data with ordinary least squares fixed-effects panel regression models used instrumental variables solve potential endogeneity problems. Findings Drawing social categorization theory information processing concept demographic faultlines, we proposed found that (i.e. gender age) faultlines within a may hinder while education level, functional background tenure) have an inverted U-shaped effect In addition, posited confirmed market competition weakens negative but strengthens Originality/value By exploring nuanced roles in transformation, our enriches research antecedents perspective deepens understanding decision for this extends existing claims about contrasting thereby enhancing Further, augments knowledge by revealing dynamics providing supportive evidence positive function firms. also offers managerial guidance digitization practice optimization internal structures TMTs.

As a critical aspect of the industry 4.0 era, application artificial intelligence (AI) is significant to environmental governance. It serves as crucial driving force in assisting enterprises transition toward low-carbon practices. This paper examines China's A-share industrial from 2011 2022, constructs and trains word vector model extract AI-related terms, impact AI applications on carbon emission intensity these investigated. The findings reveal that enhancing level can effectively decrease intensity. Specifically, 1% increase leads reduction 0.0395% Further analysis indicates diminish their by optimization supply chain green technology innovation. Heterogeneity suggests utilizing beneficial for reducing manufacturing, high-tech, high-pollution enterprises. results this study enrich micro-level research relationship between intensity, offering valuable insights aiming achieve sustainable development.

The urgent global challenge of mitigating climate change has intensified the need to reduce carbon emissions. China significantly contributes greenhouse gas emissions, placing substantial pressure on its industrial sector shift toward a low-carbon economy. However, current efforts have not yet achieved adequate progress in emission reduction. Digital Transformation (DT), involving integration digital technologies into business operations, offers promising pathway for sustainable practices and reduction Chinese enterprises. This study investigates impact DT Carbon Emissions Intensity (CEI) using data from listed companies (2013–2022) explores moderating role Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) practices. Findings reveal that reduces CEI, with green technological innovation (GTI) acting as key intermediary. ESG moderates both direct relationship between CEI indirectly influences intermediary variables like GTI, further affecting CEI. Heterogeneity analysis shows effectively curbs capital- technology-intensive industries China’s eastern western regions, though is weaker elsewhere. recommends policymakers promote through targeted incentives, boost strengthen oversight disclosure. These measures can help enterprises leverage digitalization sustainability advance neutrality goals. insights also provide valuable recommendations other developing nations facing similar environmental challenges seeking development pathways.
