Research on Core Technology Breakthrough Paths Under the MOA Framework:A Case Study of Lithography Industry
[Research purpose]Identifying the breakthrough paths for core technologies is important in accelerating the realization of inde-pendent and controllable core technologies to maintain the security of China's industrial and supply chains.[Research method]From the perspective of organizational behavior,the MOA(Motivation-Opportunity-Ability)analysis framework is utilized to clarify seven varia-bles as antecedent conditions for enterprises to break through core technologies.Then,considering the phased characteristics of China's li-thography technology field,35 listed companies in the lithography technology field are selected as the research objects.A method combi-ning NCA and fsQCA is adopted to identify key core technology breakthrough paths in three stages:catching up,following,and tackling.[Research conclusion]In the process of breaking through core technologies,the essential condition of opportunity perception capability exists in the catch-up,follow-up,and breakthrough stages,and government support plays a universal role.Seven breakthrough paths across the three stages are summarized into four driven types,including motivation-government-absorption capacity-driven type,percep-tion capability-driven type,government-absorption capacity-driven type,and government-adaptation capacity-driven type.An evolu-tionary phenomenon in the breakthrough paths forms three evolutionary trajectories,including buffer dominant trajectory,turning trajecto-ry,and dominant trajectory.
