Research On The Ambidextrous Innovation Driving Model Of Enterprises From The Perspective Of Asymmetric Innovation

At present,China’s economic development has entered a new normal,innovation-driven is the national destiny,the trend of the world,and the forced development situation.Ambidextrous innovation has obvious advantages in increasing enterprises’ innovation output,improving enterprises’ performance and enhancing enterprises’ competitive position.Ambidextrous innovation is also an important measure for enterprises to respond to environmental changes and create competitive advantages.However,in the context of China,the resource base conditions of Chinese enterprises are not exactly the same,and there are differences in the "starting point" of the ambidextrous innovation of each enterprise,so it is unrealistic to pursue a unified ambidextrous innovation development model.Therefore,this study will focus on the context and individual firm differences in China to explore the configuration-driven model that facilitates the development and maintenance of ambidextrous innovation in Chinese firms.Based on the technology innovation theory,asymmetric innovation theory,institutional theory and resource-based theory,this article takes 62 listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board as research cases,and uses fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fs QCA)to discuss the multi-dimensional combination factors and driving patterns that affect the ambidextrous innovation in science and technology innovation board enterprises.The asymmetric innovation theory points out that Chinese enterprises are faced with the unique situation of "big market environment,strong government system and weak technology system" in the process of innovation catch-up,which provides new ideas for the innovation and development of Chinese enterprises.Based on this,this article constructs the analysis framework of ambidextrous innovation from three aspects:environment(environmental dynamics and environmental complexity),system(government subsidy and political connection)and technology(R&D investment and R&D personnel investment).The findings are as follows:(1)The environmental aspects,institutional aspects and technological aspects cannot constitute a necessary conditions of ambidextrous innovation alone,but the combination configuration of different factors has a significant impact.(2)There are three driving models of the balanced dimension of ambidextrous innovation: the competition-driven government-supported model,the environment-driven capital-promoted model and government-supported pressure-response model.(3)There are three driving models of the combined dimension of ambidextrous innovation: the competition-driven government-supported model,the environment-driven capital-promoted model and technology-supported pressure-response model.(4)There are some differences between the driving modes of the balanced dimension of ambidextrous innovation and the combined dimension of ambidextrous innovation.Therefore,enterprises should choose the appropriate path of ambidextrous innovation according to their actual conditions.This paper not only supplements and improves the existing research literature on the influencing factors of ambidextrous innovation,but also enriches the theoretical connotation of ambidextrous innovation driving model.In addition,from the perspective of configuration,this paper summarizes the differential driving mode of enterprise ambidextrous innovation,which can help enterprises better formulate innovation strategy and promote innovation practice,and provide decision-making reference for promoting the improvement of enterprise ambidextrous innovation performance.
