Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the relationship linking hard technology innovation with the high-quality development (HDP) of SRDI firms. SRDI firms are typically classified as medium-sized to moderately scaled businesses renowned for their specialized, refinement, differentiation and innovation (SRDI), with a focus on providing exceptional products or services to gain a competitive advantage in specific market segments. These firms are dedicated to expanding market share and enhancing innovation capacities both locally and globally. The research also aims to scrutinize the contextual effects of digital transformation within this framework.

Design/methodology/approach

Hard technology innovation consists of three essential components: innovative characteristics, newly developed technology-based intellectual property rights and the volume of R&D initiatives. The evaluation of HDP was performed utilizing the entropy method, with a specific emphasis on assessing value creation and value management capabilities. Subsequently, this study explores the impact of technological innovation on the HDP of firms using a dual-dimension fixed effects model.

Findings

Every aspect of hard technology innovation is essential for promoting the HDP of businesses. The digital transformation of businesses exerts a heterogeneous moderating influence in this process. This is evident in the constructive impact on the connection between innovation attributes and the volume of fruitful R&D initiatives, as well as the HDP of firms. Conversely, the moderating effect is deemed insignificant in the association between new technology-based intellectual property and HDP.

Originality/value

This research delves deeper into the underlying mechanisms that underlie the promotion of HDP through hard technology innovation, thereby expanding the scope of our exploration on the HDP of SRDI firms. It establishes a theoretical framework and practical directives for achieving enhanced development quality amidst the evolving landscape of digital transformation within firms.

硬技术创新对SRDI企业高质量发展的影响研究:基于数字化转型的调节作用
本文旨在研究硬技术创新与SRDI企业高质量发展(HDP)之间的关系。SRDI企业通常被归类为以专业化、精细化、差异化和创新(SRDI)而闻名的中型至中型企业,其重点是提供卓越的产品或服务,以在特定细分市场中获得竞争优势。这些企业致力于扩大市场份额,提高本地和全球的创新能力。硬技术创新包括三个基本组成部分:创新特征、新开发的基于技术的知识产权和研发活动的数量。对硬技术创新的评估采用熵值法,重点评估价值创造和价值管理能力。随后,本研究利用双维度固定效应模型探讨了技术创新对企业 HDP 的影响。企业的数字化转型在这一过程中发挥着不同的调节作用。这体现在创新属性与富有成效的研发活动数量之间的联系以及企业的 HDP 之间的建设性影响。相反,在基于新技术的知识产权与 HDP 之间的关联中,调节效应被认为是不显著的。它建立了一个理论框架和实践指南,以便在企业数字化转型的不断发展中实现更高的发展质量。
