Abstract:    Innovation resilience is a key driving force for enterprises to cope with external uncertainty shocks and achieve innovative development. With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, the micro-network connections between enterprises have deepened, bringing new opportunities for enhancing innovation resilience. This paper, from the perspective of knowledge element-enterprise two-mode network and starting from the peer effects of digital technology, selected the data of A-share listed companies in strategic emerging industries from 2011 to 2023 as the research sample, and used the fixed effects models to empirically test the impact of digital technology peer effects on enterprise innovation resilience, as well as the moderating effects of upward digital technology distance and network characteristics on this relationship. The study found that: (1) the digital technology peer effects have a positive impact on enterprise innovation resilience; (2) the effect of digital technology peer on innovation resilience varies significantly across different environments, industries, and enterprise characteristics; and (3) the upward digital technology distance, network centrality, and structural hole efficiency, reinforces the positive influence of digital technology peer effects on enterprise innovation resilience. The conclusions of this study will enrich the theoretical research on peer effects and enterprise innovation resilience from a network perspective, and provide empirical evidence and valuable insights for enterprises to strengthen innovation resilience through digital technologies in practice.
