This study examines Huawei's digital transformation practices using a single-case study approach, and analyzes the internal mechanisms driving its innovative development and sustained success through the application of digital technologies. The research reveals that Huawei has achieved profound changes by integrating big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and IoT into its operations. These technologies have enabled the company to reshape business processes, enhance organizational agility, and foster an innovative culture. Specifically, Huawei’s transformation has significantly enhanced its product innovation capabilities, operational efficiency, and market competitiveness. Through constructing a "strategy-technology-organization" synergy framework, Huawei demonstrates how digitalization can drive closed-loop innovation cycles and build collaborative ecosystems. The findings not only highlight the critical role of organizational adaptability and technological depth but also extend existing theoretical frameworks on enterprise innovation and resource integration. Huawei’s experience offers valuable insights and practical guidance for other enterprises in strategic alignment, capability building, and ecological collaboration, providing a reference model for their digital transformation journeys.
