How Does the Intelligent Vehicle Chip Industry Achieve Breakthrough Innovation:A Phased Multi-case Study Based on the Resource Orchestration Theory
China's intelligent vehicle chip industry has high external dependence,low localization rate,and insufficient high-end production capacity,and faces technology blockade,so its development faces innovation difficulties.The intelligent vehicle chip industry has a complex network structure and needs to rely on multi-knowledge and cross-network research to change the connection of knowledge elements and promote cross-border network embedding to break through the core technologies to achieve domestic substitution of"bottleneck"chips and large-scale production.However,at different stages of industrial development,enterprises face different goal orientations and resource constraints,so they need to dynamically configure the characteristics of knowledge elements and embed innovation elements in cross-border networks based on the changes of industrial development to achieve breakthrough innovation at each stage.Therefore,according to the internal logic of"factor-action-output",the resource orchestration theory can reveal the mechanism and evolution of breakthrough innovation in the intelligent vehicle chip industry,and help to solve the innovation dilemma.This paper adopts the multi-case study method to conduct in-depth interviews and coding analyses of 20 enterprises in the intelligent automobile chip industry.It is found that from the introduction period,growth period to maturity period,the intelligent vehicle chip industry corresponds to differentiated target orientation and resource constraints,dynamically allocates characteristics of knowledge elements and cross-border network embedding,and derives a three progressive innovation mechanism of"resource construction,resource bundling,and resource leveraging",thus achieving breakthrough innovation of"R&D,product,and value"at each stage more efficiently.This paper contributes to existing literature in three aspects.First,based on the resource orchestration theory,it combines the characteristics of knowledge elements with cross-border network embedding to build an integrated research framework.Second,it focuses on exploring the coupling mechanism and cross-process coordination mechanism in the process of resource orchestration,and studies the dynamic configuration of knowledge element characteristics and cross-border network embedding in the whole process under the differentiated goal orientation and resource constraints at different stages of industrial development,then realizing the differentiated dynamic mechanism of breakthrough innovation from a dynamic perspective.Third,existing studies focus on theoretical analysis and questionnaire research and a few use a single case study,while this paper adopts a multi-case method.In theory,from the perspective of resource orchestration and industrial evolution,this paper enriches research on the mechanism and evolution of breakthrough innovation in the intelligent vehicle chip industry.In practice,it provides inspiration for accelerating the domestic substitution of"bottleneck"chips and promoting the independent innovation of China's intelligent vehicle chip industry.
