Abstract：Based on the data of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2010 to 2022, this paper empirically examines the impact of competitive experience on the extent of firms’ digital transformation and discusses its boundary effects. The research reveals that the influence of competitive experience on the digital transformation extent exhibits a significant inverted U-shaped pattern. Absorptive capacity and political ties have a dual moderating effect on the relationship between them, alleviating the resource constraints for firm transformation but also posing the risk of excessive occupation of transformation resources, thereby making the inverted U-shaped curve between competitive experience and digital transformation extent steeper. Further research indicates that enhancing innovation capabilities at the micro level, improving industry competition level at the meso level and advancing regional digital economic development levels at the macro level can leverage the high-quality advantages of the enterprise innovation ecosystem, significantly extending the positive impact interval of competitive experience on the digital transformation extent.
