In the context of digital economy, manufacturing enterprises promote high-quality development through digital transformation and upgrading. However, the single champion enterprises in manufacturing industry are different from large manufacturing enterprises because of their limited resources and lower scientific and technological innovation ability compared with large manufacturing enterprises, so how to achieve high-quality development through digitalization is worthy of in-depth discussion. Starting from the perspective of resource arrangement, “resource combination-resource bundling-resource utilization” was taken as the logical main line, taking 10 individual champion manufacturing enterprises in Shandong Province as the research object, the high-quality development path of individual champion manufacturing enterprises on the basis of field investigation and existing research was analyzed, multi-case analysis and rooted theory were combined, and a construction concept derived from practice for subsequent research is layed.
