How to use digital innovation ecological organizations to empower non-core enterprises in marginal ecological niches to reverse their marginal status and achieve cross-industry innovation development is an important theoretical and practical issue for widely gathering enterprise strength and developing new quality productivity.However,existing research mostly focused on the impact of digital technology on cross-border innovation,lacking attention to the affordance of digital innovation ecosystem organi-zations formed on digital technology.Based on the classic framework of affordance theory and the"architecture,strategy,envi-ronment"organizational theory,this study used the fs/QCA analysis method to explore the multiple paths through which the affor-dance of digital innovation ecology empowers non-core enterprises to achieve cross-industry innovation.The research found that digital innovation ecosystem organizations can provide action potential for the realization of corporate strategic visions,but non-core enterprises on the edge of the ecosystem cannot achieve cross-industry innovation solely through a single dimension of affor-dance.It is necessary to combine the availability of digital technology architecture,the availability of the digital innovation eco-system environment,and the multidimensional strategy of digital innovation strategy to support non-core enterprises in exploring the potential of cross-industry technology grafting and transforming it into effective actions to achieve cross-industry innovation goals,including two dominant logics and four sub-paths:digital distribution availability(discrete knowledge type,dynamic alli-ance type)and digital recombination availability(dislocation recombination type,fission recombination type).The research con-clusion will contribute to the theoretical integration of the affordance of digital innovation ecology and cross-industry innovation re-search,and provide practical inspiration for non-core enterprises to achieve cross-industry innovation leap.
