新一轮全球制造业格局大调整中，数字技术作为信息技术的高阶迭代，为制造业转型升级创造了难得的历史机遇。将解构的数字技术可供性划分为积累可供性和变异可供性，并基于搜索视角探讨其对企业数字创新价值实现的影响机制。通过对894家先进制造业企业的样本数据进行实证检验，结果表明：积累可供性对企业数字创新价值强度和价值范围具有显著的正向影响，变异可供性对企业数字创新价值强度和范围也具有显著的正向影响。此外，一致搜索机制在积累可供性与数字创新价值强度、变异可供性与数字创新价值范围之间都起到了强化作用；而敏捷搜索则强化了变异可供性和数字创新价值范围之间的关系。研究结论对于厘清数字技术可供性、企业数字创新价值实现机理有显著的理论贡献，同时为制造业企业开展数字创新价值实现提供实践启示。

As a high-order iteration of information technology, digital technology has created a rare historic opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of the global manufacturing industry. In the digital economy era, digital technology is a key strategic resource of enterprises with innovative advantages. How to make digital technology play a better role in manufacturing enterprises and promote the digital innovation practice of enterprises is an urgent problem to be solved in the digital transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. Digital technology affordance is a key inducement for the heterogeneity of enterprise digital innovation. After deconstruction, digital technology affordance can be divided into cumulative affordance and variant affordance. Based on the perspective of coherent and flexible search, this paper discusses the mechanism of its influence on the realization of the value of enterprise digital innovation. In addition, the generativity function of digital infrastructure in the digital technology affordance serves as a connecting mechanism between the realization of digital innovation value and the digital technology affordance, it provides an explanation mechanism for exploring the process mechanism of enterprise sustainable digital innovation. Therefore, this paper constructs the theoretical model of the realization mechanism of enterprise digital innovation value, trying to answer the paradox that similar digital technology will produce different effects in different enterprises. This paper adopts the method of questionnaire survey to obtain sample data, focuses on the digital innovation practice of advanced manufacturing enterprises in Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, and uses the sample data of 894 private high-tech enterprises for empirical test and analysis. The results show that the cumulative affordance of digital technology has a significant positive influence on the value intensity and the value scope of enterprise digital innovation. While the variant affordance of digital technology also has a significant positive influence on the value intensity and the value scope of enterprise digital innovation. The coherent search mechanism helps to strengthen the relationship between cumulative affordance and the value intensity of digital innovation, and the relationship between variant affordance and the value scope of digital innovation. While flexible search strengthens the relationship between variant affordance and the value scope of digital innovation. The findings of the study have made significant theoretical contributions to clarify the realization mechanism of digital technology affordance and digital innovation value of enterprises. At the same time, it also provides the following three practical inspirations for manufacturing enterprises to realize the value of digital innovation. First, enterprises need to be good at using digital technology to promote the transformation and upgrading of organization. In the practice of digital innovation, enterprises can use digital technology to upgrade or replace traditional production technology according to their own situation, and promote product innovation and upgrading, better respond customer demand and create enterprise value. Secondly, managers need to promote steady digital reform and innovation through duality search strategies. Finally, enterprises can further develop the generative characteristics of digital technology by building a digital resource database to better perceive the current innovation status of digital technology applied to products, so as to adjust the application strategy of digital technology in enterprises and promote the sustainable realization of the value of enterprise digital innovation.

敏感期形成的信息技术烙印能否持久影响高管行为，推动企业数字创新？基于烙印理论，利用2013-2021年新三板上市公司数据，通过文本分析识别数字专利，实证检验信息技术背景高管影响企业数字创新的效应与机制。研究表明，拥有信息技术求学或从业经历的高管比例越大时，企业获得数字专利越多、质量越高，说明信息技术背景高管推动了企业数字创新“量质齐升”；进一步发现，信息技术背景高管通过认知烙印识别数字创新机会、技能烙印克服数字技术短视、关系网络烙印集聚创新要素三类中介渠道促进企业数字创新；当市场发育滞后或产权保护不足时，信息技术背景高管推动企业数字创新更明显。本文拓展了数字创新的前因研究，从人才配置和人才培养视角推动数字创新提供启示。

Can the IT imprints experienced by executives during sensitive periods have a lasting impact on corporate behaviour and drive digital innovation? Based on the imprinting theory, using the data of the NEEQ-Listed Companies from 2013 to 2021, this paper empirically examine the effects and mechanisms of executives with information technology background influencing corporate digital innovation by identifying digital patents to measure corporate digital innovation through text analysis. The study shows that the larger the proportion of executives with IT education or experience, the more digital patents the enterprise obtains and the higher the quality, indicating that executives with IT background promote the "quantity and quality" of enterprise digital innovation; it is further found that executives with IT background promote enterprise digital innovation through the cognitive imprint of identifying digital innovation opportunities, the skill imprint of overcoming digital technology It is further found that executives with IT background promote digital innovation through the cognitive imprint of identifying digital innovation opportunities, the skill imprint of overcoming digital technology short-sightedness, and the relational network imprint of gathering innovation factors; and when market development is insufficient and property rights protection is absent, it is more obvious that executives with IT background promote digital innovation of enterprises. This paper extends the research on the antecedents of digital innovation to provide insights on promoting digital innovation from the perspective of talent allocation and talent development.
