Utilising the entropy method and the TOPSIS technique, the research assesses the impact of digital transformation on investment in innovation, including research and experimental development. Empirical findings indicate that digital transformation in these companies correlates with an increase in innovation investment. A more effectively marketised environment enhances the positive effects of digital transformation on innovation in traditional companies. Heterogeneous studies demonstrate that firms in Eastern China and high-tech companies exhibit more significant positive impacts from digital transformation on innovation.}, number = {03}, urldate = {2025-07-08}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Xue, Li and Baishan, Xue and Xiangfang, Ren and Lei, Shen}, month = jun, year = {2025}, pages = {307--315}, }
