Abstract: A country's level of manufacturing directly reflects its level of productivity, which  is a major difference between developed and developing countries. China is transforming from a  manufacturer of quantity to one of quality, and digital transformation has become an inevitable  trend in the development of China's manufacturing industry. While most of China's manufactur⁃ ing enterprises have been ready for digital transformation, they lack clear strategic goals and  transformation ideas. At the same time, digital transformation is a complex process influenced by  multiple factors. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically analyze and study the driving factors  of enterprises' digital transformation from the perspective of configuration and explore their  "paths to the same destination" in the process of digital transformation. In view of this, this study  selected 104 sample enterprises in China's listed manufacturing enterprises. By utilizing  resource-based theory and dynamic capability theory, this study reviewed relevant literature and  finally built a driving factor model for the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises  from the perspective of configuration. This study employed qualitative comparison analysis of  fuzzy sets to analyze the configuration effects of multiple factors such as internal and external re⁃ sources and dynamic capabilities The results show that:① . The digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises presents  the characteristic of "multiple concurrency", meaning that no single factor or single dimension  can independently create the necessary conditions for the digital transformation of advanced  manufacturing industries. The high level of digital transformation of enterprises is the result of  the synergistic effect of multiple factors.②Nine factors constitute six equivalent paths to drive  the high digital transformation of enterprises. These paths can be further summarized as the allfactor driven type, blind change-seeking type, and stable change-seeking type. Non-high digi⁃ tal transformation is characterized by missing elements (missing core conditions).③There is a po⁃ tential substitution relationship among some factors. Digital technology application, human capi⁃ tal, and digital facilities appear in multiple paths, indicating that digital technology application  is a key factor in the process of digital transformation. At the same time, attention should be paid  to improving the level of human capital and developing digital facilities. The research results are  helpful for manufacturing enterprises to choose the path of digital transformation according to  their conditions, improve their differentiation advantages, and provide a useful reference for the  precise policies of government-driven enterprises' digital transformation
