摘要:   数字企业的负责任创新实践凸显出巨大价值,但已有研究对其驱动路径和机制缺乏探讨。基于TOE框架,提出了理解数字企业负责任创新驱动路径的整合性理论模型,并运用fsQCA方法对我国29家典型数字企业案例进行组态分析,探讨技术、组织、环境条件驱动数字企业实现负责任创新的联动效应。研究发现:(1)数字企业负责任创新是多层面耦合作用的结果,但实现高水平负责任创新离不开技术条件支持;(2)在技术条件支持下,存在三条驱动数字企业实现负责任创新的路径,可归纳为两大类机制:第一,以研发人员投入和CSR委员会设置为构成的独立自履机制;第二,以数字技术采纳和信任文化培育为构成的合作共创机制;(3)数字企业负责任创新具有明显的内部驱动特点,无论是否具备技术条件,外部环境推动的监督惩戒机制难以驱动数字企业开展负责任创新。研究结论在发展负责任创新的驱动因素研究、深化对数字企业负责任创新的驱动路径和机制的理解等方面做出了贡献。

Abstract:     Responsible innovation is increasingly important for digital firms. However, existing literature largely ignores the drivers of digital firm′s responsible innovation. Based on the TOE framework, we built a theoretical model to identify the driving paths and mechanisms of digital firm′s responsible innovation. Utilizing the fsQCA method, we conducted a configurational analysis on 29 typical cases of digital firms in China, and explored the effect of technological, organizational, and environmental factors on firm responsible innovation. We found through the study that digital firm′s responsible innovation is the combined effect of multiple factors, and a high level of responsible innovation cannot be achieved without technological support. Further, three configurations for high responsible innovation were identified to reveal two mechanisms, an autonomous mechanism constituted by R&D personnel input and the establishment of CSR committee, and a collaborative co-creation mechanism formed through the adoption of digital technologies and the cultivation of a trust culture. Finally, digital firm′s responsible innovation was found to be internally driven. Regardless of technological support, the environmental regulation mechanism fails to drive digital firm′s responsible innovation. Our findings will contribute to study on the drivers of firm responsible innovation, and deepen our understanding of the driving paths and mechanisms of digital firm′s responsible innovation.
