Author: Dr. Lalit Sharma
Abstract:

In today’s fast-changing business world, Digital transformation is no longer just a choice—it has become a lifeline for organizations striving to survive and grow. Finance, at the very heart of every organization, is experiencing a dramatic shift as digital tools and technologies redefine how decisions are made. This study explores the human and strategic struggle of balancing immediate liquidity needs with the pursuit of long-term value creation in a digital era. Drawing insights from 200 finance professionals across diverse industries, the research employs rigorous statistical techniques to uncover a compelling truth: digital tools not only bring clarity and speed to short-term liquidity management (β = 0.47, p < 0.01), but they also empower organizations to make stronger, future-focused investment decisions that fuel lasting growth (β = 0.55, p < 0.01). Yet, the journey is not without obstacles—skills gaps, high costs and regulatory hurdles create real tension. By highlighting both the promise and the pain points of Digital transformation, this study offers a call to action: organizations must pair technology with training, vision and collaboration to unlock its true potential and shape a sustainable financial future. This study emphasizes on deciphering the impact of Digital transformation on Financial Decision making so that we can come out with valuable suggestions for maintaining a balance between liquidity and wealth creation.
