The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of digital conversion by presenting factors that domestic small and medium-sized manufacturers should consider when attempting digital conversion. Using SME data from 2019 to 2021, we analyze the impact of digital transformation on the financialization of enterprises and which digital technologies affect financialization, and further analyze the mediating effect of green technology innovation between digital transformation and business finance. did The results of the study support the negative impact of digital technologies on corporate finance, and cloud computing technologies have been found to significantly inhibit the level of corporate finance. In addition, it was found that green technology innovation plays a mediating role in suppressing corporate financialization by promoting green technology innovation through digital transformation. Digital transformation influences corporate decision-making through green technology innovation, suggesting that the combination of digital technology and green projects should be considered.

This paper examines how firm's investment has been affected by offshoring and financialization in Korea over the period 2000-2014 by using industry-level data collected from World Input Output Database (WIOD) and firm-level data collected from the KIS-Value Database. The findings are summarized as follows. First, offshoring index as expected shows a negative relationship with real investment. This negative impact is stronger in a large firm group. Second, there is a positive relationship between dividend payments and real investment. The positive relationship is greater in a small & medium-sized firm group. Third, the purchase of financial assets and the income generated from financial assets are positively related to real investment. The positive relationship is stronger in the small & medium-sized firm group. The empirical results show that firm size is a factor that effectively affects firm's real investment. This paper suggests that the influence of financialization and offshoring on firm's real investment should be assessed in various contexts rather than in a unilateral context.
