Abstract

Abstract: The strategic emerging industries are the core carriers for nurturing new quality productive forces, and the micro-level mechanisms for developing new quality productive forces are yet to be explored. Based on the organizational ecology theory, this study selected China′s A-share listed industrial enterprises in strategic emerging industries from 2010 to 2020 as research samples and investigated the impact of strategic deviation on firms′ new quality productive forces by using the panel data regression method. The results revealed that: (1) strategic deviation significantly enhances firms′ new quality productive forces; (2) the higher the level of industrial turbulence, the weaker the positive effect of strategic deviation on firms′ new quality productive forces, and specifically, under highly turbulent industrial environments, the positive effect of strategic deviation on firms′ new quality productive forces turns into a negative effect; and (3) the faster the industry clock-speed, the stronger the positive effect of strategic deviation on firms′ new quality productive forces, and specifically, rapidly developing industrial environments can amplify the positive role of strategic deviation. This study has expanded the understanding of the economic consequences of strategic deviation and the strategic antecedents of firms′ new quality productive forces at the micro-level, and it will provide a reference for firms to develop new quality productive forces in a context-specific manner.

Key words: new quality productive force, strategic deviation, organizational ecology theory, strategic emerging industry, industry turbulence, industry clock-speed
