A managerial perspective on the determinants and outcome of digital transformation in multinational corporations in Malaysia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to examine the antecedents of digital transformation (DT) within multinational corporations (MNCs) in Malaysia, from the perspectives of corporate managers. Amidst limited research on DT within the MNC context, this paper examines the key drivers of DT in Malaysian MNCs. A quantitative method using non-probability sampling was used to gather the required data via the distribution of questionnaires among the MNCs’ managers. To evaluate the underlying theoretical model based on the collected data, we chose SmartPLS as the preferred method. Findings revealed that business value, digital leadership, inter-functional coordination and decision-making quality were significant drivers of DT, while DT exerted a positive influence on business performance. However, collaborative innovation did not have a significant relationship with digital transformation adoption in MNCs. The findings offer novel insights for both academics and international corporate managers, enhancing their understanding of the drivers behind DT adoption from the perspective of managers within MNCs in Malaysia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
