A study on the relationship between executive academic experience and corporate innovation based on meta-analysis
In the context of fostering an innovative nation,the technological advancements and innovative development of enterprises are pivotal in expediting the realization of an innovation-driven development strategy. Executives are pivotal figures in enterprise decision-making processes. Analyzing the nexus between executives' academic backgrounds and enterprise innovation is of profound theoretical and practical significance. Considering that extant literature utilizing traditional analytical methods has yet to converge on the relationship between executives' academic backgrounds and enterprise innovation within the Chinese context,this study employs meta-analysis to quantitatively synthesize 45 articles and 57 effect sizes examining this nexus. The findings reveal that executives' academic backgrounds exert a significant positive influence on enterprise innovation. Furthermore,organizational context factors (such as the stock market segment in which the company is listed and the type of executive position) and research methodology factors (such as the dimensions of corporate innovation measurement and the methods of measuring executives' academic backgrounds) moderate this influence. In the selection and appointment of enterprise executives,companies should prioritize academic backgrounds and fully harness their potential to catalyze enterprise innovation.
