摘要

以往关于技术搜索策略与数字化转型之间关系的研究仍然是模糊和混杂的。运用模糊集定性比较分析的最新进展，我们通过318家中国制造业上市公司的数据集，通过绩效反馈、组织松弛和TMT监管焦点的相互作用，表明数字化转型与技术搜索策略相关。通过绩效反馈和组织松弛，我们普遍揭示了数字化转型在不同决策背景下的技术探索和开发中的重要、多方面和异质性作用。在此基础上，我们对TMT监管焦点在技术搜索策略与数字化转型之间关系中的作用产生了新的见解。总体而言，我们的研究通过将数字化转型扩展到传统的技术搜索框架中，调和了许多现有的混合发现，从而为企业行为理论做出了贡献。

Antecedent configurations toward technology search strategies in digital transformation: The joint impact of performance feedback, organizational slack and TMT regulatory focus

Previous research on the relationship between technology search strategies and digital transformation remains ambiguous and mixed. Applying recent advances in the fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, we show that digital transformation is associated with technology search strategies through the interaction of performance feedback, organizational slack, and TMT regulatory focus with a dataset of 318 Chinese-listed firms in the manufacturing industry. We generally reveal digital transformation's significant, multifaceted, and heterogeneous role in technological exploration and exploitation in different decision contexts conducted by performance feedback and organizational slack. On this basis, we generate new insights into the role of TMT regulatory focus underlying the relationship between technology search strategies and digital transformation. Overall, our study reconciles many existing mixed findings by extending digital transformation into the traditional technology search framework, thus contributing to the behavioral theory of firms.

期刊介绍： The interdisciplinary journal Technovation covers various aspects of technological innovation, exploring processes, products, and social impacts. It examines innovation in both process and product realms, including social innovations like regulatory frameworks and non-economic benefits. Topics range from emerging trends and capital for development to managing technology-intensive ventures and innovation in organizations of different sizes. It also discusses organizational structures, investment strategies for science and technology enterprises, and the roles of technological innovators. Additionally, it addresses technology transfer between developing countries and innovation across enterprise, political, and economic systems.
