Path and Model of Enterprise Innovation Niche Transition:a Study of Configuration Effects based on fsQCA
The complexity,severity and uncertainty of the external environment will impact the living space of enterpri-ses.Innovation niche transition is a way for enterprises to expand innovation resource space,improve adaptability and change ecological niche to cope with environmental changes and rebuild competitive advantages.Enterprise innovation niche transi-tion is a complex process with multiple factors.Based on the perspective of configuration,a theoretical model is constructed,and fsQCA method is used to explore the path and mode of enterprise innovation niche transition.The results show that en-terprises with varying foundational conditions exhibit marked discrepancies in their paths towards innovation niche transi-tion.A symbiotic network composed of diverse entities,coupled with governmental intervention and market fluctuations,plays a pivotal role in this process.The absence of core conditions is pivotal to the transition of low-level innovation niche.By comparing the high and low configuration conditions,it is found that there are four distinct transition modes of enterprise in-novation niche,namely environment adaptation,government leading,network spillover and collaboration-driven.The research results reveal the complex causal mechanism of enterprise niche transition corporate in the innovation ecosystem,enrich and deepen the research on niche evolution,and provide useful references for enterprises to realize innovation niche transition and secure sustainable competitive edges.
