I again spare you the technical details here. (See some more explanation in Appendix F.) In simple words, this helps to answer the question about how the correlation impact (and indicative causality) of digital transformation efforts changed in our dataset depending on different observable financial KPIs and their characteristics (e.g., negative versus around zero versus high net income).

Table 14.1 shows the results, based on logMARKETCAP elasticity and a flag for the risk (*** = lowest risk) that the prediction is not as precise as one would wish (in terms of wideness of confidence interval), for all key operational KPIs. Given that such analysis is still in early stages, this should be further expanded in future research and will have to be carefully interpreted.
