The Relationship between Innovation Network Resource Integration, Dual Innovation, and Innovation Performance: A Case Study of Intelligent Manufacturing Enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta Region of China

Abstract

The prerequisite for enterprises to carry out innovative activities is to effectively integrate various resources and play the role of different resources. According to the theory of resource dependence, an enterprise’s own innovation resources are relatively single, and it is difficult to carry out technological innovation with its own resources and capabilities. Currently, the innovation network is an important source for manufacturing enterprises to obtain complementary resources. In recent years, intelligent manufacturing enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region have achieved increasingly remarkable results in terms of economic benefits, development scale, innovation achievements, and international competitiveness. But at the same time, there are still shortcomings in the quality of development, and it is necessary to continuously strengthen innovation leadership, improve innovation performance, and drive development with innovation. Based on relevant theories such as innovation network, resource integration, ambidexterity innovation, and the intermediary role of environmental dynamism, this paper objective and is to close the above mentioned gap/s of study and the research design is by surveying relevant data on the innovation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region, and uses AMOS and SPSS software to empirically test the hypothetical model. The findings and conclusions and innovations of this paper are as follows: The situational factors that affect the innovation practice of intelligent manufacturing enterprises are revealed. This paper studies the mediating effect of environmental dynamism change factors on corporate innovation activities (exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation) and innovation performance.
