Abstract：

The application of new generation digital technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing can promote service-oriented innovation in manufacturing enterprises, thus becoming a new driving force for their service-oriented transformation. Whether digital technology can truly create competitive advantages for service-oriented transformation enterprises depends on whether it can form strategically valuable digital resources. The strategic value analysis of digital resources based on the VRIN analysis framework shows that the potential of individual digital resources to create sustainable competitive advantages for service-oriented transformation manufacturing enterprises is very limited, and the combination of digital resources and digital capabilities has high strategic value. Manufacturing enterprises must use systems and collaborative methods to efficiently and strategically develop digital resources.
