以瓦轴集团为例，采用单案例研究方法探索老国企如何通过数字化解锁来释放数字化转型的潜力。研究结果发现，数字化解锁是缺乏资源和能力基础的老国企成功实现数字化转型和“弯道追赶”的关键所在。老国企的数字化解锁包括“校准—释放—激活”3个维度，即校准数字化战略方向，释放组织灵活性，激活员工动能。其中：校准措施包括制定数字化转型战略、与业务战略对齐；释放措施包括打破传统组织架构、重构管理制度、规范业务流程；激活措施包括打破IT与业务壁垒、重构员工知识体系、内化员工数字化思维。

This paper takes Wafangdian Bearing Group as a case study and adopts a single-case study method to explore how the long-established state-owned enterprises release the potential of digital transformation by digital unlocking. It is found that digital unlocking is the key to the successful digital transformation and “curve overtaking” of the long-established state-owned enterprises lacking resources and capability base. The digital unlocking of long-established state-owned enterprises includes three dimensions, namely, calibrating digital strategy direction, releasing organizational flexibility and activating employees’ motivation. Calibration measures include formulating a digital transformation strategy and aligning with business strategy; release measures include breaking the traditional organizational structure, reconstructing management system and standardizing business processes; activation measures include breaking IT and business barriers, reconstructing employee knowledge system and internalizing employee digital thinking.
