Abstract:
Every industry is being impacted by digital technologies, which are causing firms to reevaluate their operations, strategies for growth, and competition. Researchers call it "digitisation," and it happens when businesses start using digital tools in their everyday operations. This gives them an advantage in the global market and helps the economy thrive. Four research objectives of the study make the study distinguished among bibliometric analysis; to analyse trends in digitalisation-driven innovation across China's strategic emerging industries using bibliometric methods; to identify key research clusters and emerging themes in the digitalisation and innovation literature; to assess collaboration patterns among researchers, institutions, and industries in digitalisation-innovation studies; to examine the evolution of the roles digital technologies play in fostering innovation over time. The study used a systematic bibliometric review to trace the development of technological innovation in China's strategic development sectors, which have been driven by digitalisation. The study concluded that, across China's key developing sectors, digitalisation has evolved from a minor subject before 2019 to a central scholarly and policy concern after 2021. This is because the research domain is rapidly expanding and increasingly organised. Finally, the temporal history of key technology terminology reveals a major conceptual shift from viewing digital tools as generic ICT facilitators to recognising "digital" as a transformative force underpinning green development, industrial upgrading, and firm-level technological innovation.
