Research on the Key Core Technology Breakthrough Path of Individual Champion En-terprises from The Perspective of Configuration
Focusing on the complex relationship between multiple conditions and key core technology breakthroughs of"individual champion"enterprises.Based on the extended"technology-organization-environment"theoretical framework and by using the sample data of 52 typical listed manufacturing single-item champion enterprises,the study employs the NCA and fsQCA combined methods to explore the driving factors and feasible paths for single-item champion manufacturing enterprises to achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies.The research revealed that:There exist three types of adaptive configurations that can generate high breakthrough performance:"self-driven breakthrough type","collaborative and co-creative type",and"government-driven type";especially,the level of technical knowledge and the intensity of government support are necessary conditions determining the breakthrough of key core technologies.The breakthrough of key core technologies cannot be achieved if either of these conditions is lacking;Merely making high R&D investment or enhancing the digitalization level to a high degree cannot achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies,while government subsidies can compensate for the insufficiency of R&D investment of manufacturing single-item champion enterprises.On the one hand,the conclusions of this study offer a development direction for manufacturing single-champion enterprises to achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies.On the other hand,they also provide a theoretical basis and useful reference for more manufacturing enterprises to achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies.
