Abstract

Digital transformation has formed a diversified and multi-angle development situation to enhance the value of supply chain, which can bring about the change of business model and bring about the integration and collaborative innovation of logistics links and supply chain organization. However, e-commerce logistics enterprises are faced with the dilemma of “how to digitize, the digitized process is slow” and lack of digital technology application experience. Therefore, this paper studies the evolution law of China’s e-commerce logistics driven by digitalization. In different stages of development, e-commerce logistics needs to use corresponding digital technologies and behaviors to match with different driving factors. It has experienced three evolutionary stages of visualized coordination, digital coordination and digitized strategic coordination. Different operation modes of e-commerce logistics have different driving forces in digital construction. Combining the degree of digital intelligence with the level of cooperation, a logistics capability matrix with four different levels is constructed, and it is concluded that e-commerce logistics enterprises with different operation modes have different evolution paths of logistics capability levels.
