Research on the Influence Mechanism of Organizational Resilience on Enterprises'Survival and Growth from the Perspective of an Innovation Ecosystem
In today's era,major changes unseen in a century are accelerating,and the external environment for innova-tors is more unpredictable than ever before.Building appropriate organizational resilience has become an important practi-cal problem for enterprises to realize"safety in danger"and"progress in stability"in a turbulent environment.Meanwhile,the topic of organizational resilience has become a hotspot.However,the existing research paid insufficient attention to the resilience brought by the complex network connections and interdependence between enterprises in the innovation eco-system.The innovation ecosystem is not only an important carrier for organizational value co-creation and resource sharing but also an important source of organizational resilience through competitive linkages and interdependencies.In an environment of high uncertainty,which is complicated and changeable,causal ambiguity and deep mutation inter-weave,how to build appropriate organizational resilience in the innovation ecosystem based on inter-organization linkage dependency is the key to the survival of enterprises and even leveraging future innovation development.Organizational re-silience in the innovation ecosystem can be understood as the resilience of innovation subjects in the ecosystem habitat,that is,the resilience,buffering power,and adaptability of the organization against external shocks by relying on embed-ded network dependencies in the ecosystem.This study integrates perspectives from strategic co-opetition theory and in-novation ecosystem theory to construct a conceptual model of organizational resilience within an innovation ecosystem,which extends organizational resilience from the individual level to the ecosystem level,deconstructing it into coopera-tive ecological resilience and competitive ecological resilience.Based on this,the research explores the nonlinear effects of innovation ecosystem resilience,including cooperative ecological position resilience,cooperative ecological cohesion re-silience,competitive ecological position resilience,and competitive ecological cohesion resilience,on firm survival and growth performance using a large-scale empirical study of the global 3D printing industry.Employing multi-source hetero-geneous data analysis,machine learning,and social network analysis,the study comprehensively reveals the mechanism and effect of innovation ecosystem resilience.The results show that cooperative ecological position resilience and cooperative ecological cohesion resilience have an inverted U-shaped effect on firm survival and growth performance;competitive ecological position resilience and competitive ecological cohesion resilience harm firm survival performance,while competitive ecological position resilience and competitive ecological cohesion resilience have an inverted U-shaped effect on enterprise growth performance;moreover,heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effects of the aforementioned effects differ among enterprises of different sizes.Therefore,enterprises should fully understand the importance of cooperative behavior and competitive structural interdependence within the innovation ecosystem and clarify their network position within it.Firms can enhance their survival flexibility and long-term growth by leveraging dependencies with other entities in the system.Additionally,enterprises can leverage competitive ecological resilience to prevent cognitive rigidi-ty and path dependence,thereby enhancing their ability to absorb disturbances and respond quickly to changes.Thirdly,enterprises should pay attention to building moderate organizational resilience and avoid reducing the positive impact of organizational resilience on the survival and growth of enterprises due to knowledge leakage and cognitive inertia caused by excessive interaction.Finally,firms should adopt a resilience pattern suited to their characteristics,and advocate for shared benefits and win-win outcomes with their competitors and collaborators in the ecosystem,thereby enhancing adaptability to external environmental changes.
