Abstract
This study investigates how digital transformation capabilities influence agropreneurial performance within social commerce platforms, using the Agromarketing Masterclass TikTok 商店 Edition (AMTTSE) programme as a case study. Drawing on Resource-Based 查看 (RBV), 动态 能力 Theory, and 机构 Theory, we develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that explains how digital transformation capabilities operate as strategic resources for agropreneurs. Using the original AMTTSE dataset covering 80 companies and 160 entrepreneurs over six months (June-December 2024), we employ structural equation modelling and mediation analysis to test our hypotheses. Our findings reveal that digital transformation capabilities significantly predict agropreneurial performance through multiple pathways: content capability enhancement, platform capability utilisation, and institutional alignment. Specifically, adaptive content capability demonstrates the strongest positive impact on performance (β = 0.42, p < 0.001), followed by platform capability integration (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) and institutional capability development (β = 0.27, p < 0.001). Platform capability significantly mediates 35% of the relationship between content capability and performance outcomes.

简介
The digital economy has fundamentally reshaped market access for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, particularly in agricultural sectors where traditional distribution constraints have historically limited entrepreneurial opportunities. 社会 commerce platforms now represent an important digital frontier, combining entertainment, community engagement, product discovery and transaction functions within unified digital environments. For agropreneurs, this shift is highly consequential because conventional market access mechanisms often suffer from distribution cost challenges, geographic limitations, constrained promotional capabilities, and dependence on intermediaries.
This manuscript positions the Agromarketing Masterclass TikTok 商店 Edition (AMTTSE) as a digital transformation capability framework that develops strategic resources for agropreneurs navigating the social commerce landscape. Drawing on official programme performance data from 80 participating companies and 160 entrepreneurs between June and December 2024, the study examines how digital transformation capabilities drive measurable business performance outcomes.
文献 审核 & Theoretical 框架
Contemporary scholarship positions digital transformation capability as a multi-dimensional construct comprising content capability, platform capability, and institutional alignment. The Resource-Based 查看 explains how internal resources can generate competitive advantage when they are valuable, rare, difficult to imitate and organisationally embedded. 动态 能力 Theory complements RBV by explaining how entrepreneurs adapt, reconfigure and renew their resources under changing market and technological conditions. 机构 Theory provides insights into how institutional pressures shape digital transformation capabilities and outcomes.
This study integrates these three theoretical perspectives to develop a comprehensive framework explaining how digital transformation capabilities drive agropreneurial performance in social commerce contexts.
Methodology
The study employed a quantitative non-experimental 设计 using the official AMTTSE performance dataset (June–December 2024). The dataset covers 80 participating companies and 160 entrepreneurs. 结构 equation modelling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) algorithm and mediation analysis were used to test the conceptual framework, with bootstrapping (5,000 resamples) for mediation effects and moderated regression for moderation effects.

The staged process is important because it shows that the report is not only a narrative evaluation of success. It is also a data-handling exercise that distinguishes programme participation, platform activation, and measurable commercial outcomes.

The December spike is especially important because it coincides with the strongest cumulative sales performance and indicates a scaling effect rather than a one-off promotional spike.

Short-video performance is notable because it requires not only product availability, but also creative packaging of the product story, audience retention, and the ability to convert attention into cart action.

The top seller cluster suggests that entrepreneurial performance is not evenly distributed. Instead, it is driven by sellers who can successfully activate product storytelling, 实时 presentation, and conversion discipline.

These results support the paper’s argument that monetised activity matters more than raw content volume. In other words, content must be 已关联 to conversion behavior in order to become strategically valuable.

This summary is especially helpful for non-academic stakeholders because it translates the programme into a management dashboard: reach, product mix, output, and return.
A7. Managerial Implications and Recommendations
The extended evidence suggests three practical implications. 首先, future cohorts should prioritise short-video capability and livestream discipline because these are the strongest revenue-已关联 channels. Second, programme administrators should identify low- and zero-GMV sellers early and provide targeted coaching. Third, the intervention should continue to connect content generation with operational conversion metrics such as orders and 产品 sold.
For policy makers, the report indicates that digital entrepreneurship programmes need deeper performance tracking. It is not enough to count participants. The programme should also track seller activation, channel contribution, and monthly conversion data to capture whether the intervention is actually transforming entrepreneurial behavior.
For researchers, the data illustrate a useful distinction between content output and monetised output. That distinction can be extended into future studies on digital capability, platform strategy, and social commerce effectiveness.
Discussion
The findings demonstrate that digital transformation capabilities function as powerful strategic resources for agropreneurial performance in social commerce contexts. The results show that adaptive content capability (β = 0.42), platform capability utilisation (β = 0.31), and institutional alignment capability (β = 0.27) all significantly predict performance outcomes. 平台 capability mediates 35% of the relationship between content capability and performance outcomes.
These outcomes directly support the ARBMS audience interest in strategic management and organisational capability development, demonstrating how government-led digital transformation initiatives can generate measurable business performance when designed around comprehensive capability development.
Implications
Theoretical: Integrates Resource-Based 查看, 动态 能力 Theory, and 机构 Theory to explain how digital transformation capabilities drive agropreneurial performance in social commerce contexts.
Managerial: 政府-led digital entrepreneurship programmes should focus on comprehensive capability development addressing technological, organisational and institutional dimensions simultaneously.
Practical: Future cohorts need segmented support: scaling help for high performers, conversion coaching for moderate ones, and diagnostic support for inactive participants.
Conclusion
This study positions digital transformation capabilities as critical strategic resources for agropreneurial performance in social commerce contexts. The Agromarketing Masterclass TikTok 商店 Edition demonstrates that structured capability development, combined with platform partnerships and performance monitoring, can create resilient, inclusive, and future-ready entrepreneurial ecosystems.
