Abstract

Abstract: Data elements, as a core engine driving the development of China′s digital economy, play a crucial role in enhancing their application level, which serves as an important pathway for promoting the high-quality development of specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative (SRDI) enterprises. This study used the Chinese SRDI-listed enterprises from 2014 to 2022 as the research sample, leveraged the web crawler technology and machine learning algorithms to innovatively depict the feature word map for the whole lifecycle management of data elements, employed a fixed effects model to empirically test the causal effects of data elements on the high-quality development of SRDI enterprises, and explored how data elements promote high-quality development through "quality enhancement and intelligence improvement". The findings are as follows: (1) Data elements significantly enhance the high-quality development level of SRDI enterprises, with this promoting effect being particularly prominent in non-state-owned enterprises, those in highly competitive markets, as well as labour-intensive and technology-intensive enterprises; (2) Data elements promote the high-quality development of SRDI enterprises through "quality enhancement", with new quality productive forces playing a positive mediating role in this mechanism; (3) Data elements promote the high-quality development of SRDI enterprises through "intelligence improvement", with digital technology innovation playing a positive mediating role in this mechanism. In view of this, the following managerial implications are proposed, including comprehensively unleashing the potential of data elements to consolidate the competitive advantage of SRDI enterprises in niche markets; promoting digital-real economy integration to support the development of new quality productive forces, leading deep structural transformations in SRDI enterprises; and building a self-reliant and self-strengthening digital technology innovation system, empowering SRDI enterprises to occupy strategic high grounds in future development.
