The influence of government intervention on the development of basic research: A quasi-experimental analysis based on specialized policy Song Xiao, Liu Ke, Zhang Longpeng 2024, 45(7): 1-10.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.001 Abstract ( 296 )       The specialized policy on basic research is a key institutional arrangement for the government to promote the development of basic research, and it is of great significance to examine its implementation effect and functioning mechanism to further optimize the policy and promote the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. Based on the panel data of 30 provincial-level regions from 2001 to 2020, the impact effect and mechanism of the basic research special policy on the development of basic research were examined in this paper using the multi-period double-difference method. It was found that: (1) the specialized policy promotes the development of basic research, and this conclusion still holds after multiple robustness tests; (2) there is obvious regional heterogeneity in the effect of the specialized policy, and the law of “diminishing marginal effect” is shown in the east, central and west regions; (3) the specialized policy has clear qualitative strengths and weaknesses, and policy instruments are key to contributing to the qualitative strengths and weaknesses, as evidenced by the fact that all seven types of policy instruments play a significant role, with policy targeting instruments having the strongest effect; at the same time, with guaranteed inputs in terms of human resources, finances and materials, the combination of tools that include the openness to co-operation tool has a better effect on the gain of basic research. The study has affirmed the effectiveness of government intervention in scientific research from the Chinese scenario, which will enrich the research in the field of basic research development; at the same time, the study has provided empirical evidence for the government to optimize the policy supply and rationally use different policy tools, which will be of reference value for the policy practice of promoting the development of basic research.

Research on the configuration path of the radical innovation of enterprises Zhang Zheng, Xie Jia, Li Ran 2024, 45(7): 21-28.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.003 Abstract ( 203 )      Radical innovation, an essential means to make breakthroughs in the key and core technologies, is affected by synergies gained from multiple factors. However, existing studies that explored the net effect of single factor cannot explain the complex causations and diverse paths leading to the radical innovation in enterprises. Based on the society ecosystems theory, this study constructed a configuration analysis framework for radical innovation, and used the fsQCA method to analyze the antecedent configuration that affect the high and non-high radical innovation. The research found that: (1) there is no single necessary condition for high or non-high radical innovation, that is, the radical innovation of enterprises is affected by the synergy of multiple factors; (2) there are four configuration paths leading to high radical innovation, which can be summarized as capability-driven path, motivation-driven path, internal resource coupling path and external resource coupling path according to the distribution characteristics of core conditions; (3) there are three configuration paths that lead to non-high radical innovation, which can be summarized as capacity-constrained path and resource-deficient path according to the distribution characteristics of core conditions; (4) technical competence as a core condition plays an important role in the multiple paths that lead to high or non-high radical innovation. The conclusions of this study can provide many theoretical implications and practical enlightenments for enterprises to achieve high radical innovation or to ameliorate non-high radical innovation.

Research on the configuration effect of digital entrepreneurial ecosystem on industrial digitalization Lin Chen, Zhao Chen, Zhou Jinlai, Gao Zhonghua 2024, 45(7): 40-48.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.005 Abstract ( 152 )       As an important driving force behind the new technological revolution and industrial transformation, industrial digitization has become an engine for the development of new productive forces. However, many urban areas are still struggling with the dilemma of digital transformation, characterized by reluctance, inability or even marginalization. "How to accelerate the advancement of industrial digitization" has become a practical concern for government. Industrial digitization is regarded as a systematic integration of digital technology with the real economy. The digital entrepreneurial ecosystem, by effectively breaking down existing barriers between industries and accelerating interindustry integration, has become an important foundation for industrial digitization. Understanding the pathway through which the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem influences industrial digitization can meet the practical demands of local governments in expediting industrial digitization and promoting the development of new productive forces.Based on the method of fsQCA, this study analyzed a sample of 192 prefecture-level cities, taking into account their developmental stages. We comprehensively considered the configuration effect of digital ecological subjects such as market scale, human capital, financial capital, policy governance, entrepreneurship culture, and infrastructure on urban industrial digitalization. The results showed that: first, the single subject of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem does not constitute the necessary condition for high industrial digitalization; second, there are three types of interactive configurations of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem that promote industrial digitalization: policy-driven, construction-driven, and all-around balanced. In the initial stage, cities mainly present policy-driven configurations with policy governance as the core and construction-driven configurations with infrastructure and market size as the core. In the development stage, cities transition to construction-driven configurations. In the mature stage, the city presents an all-around balanced configuration of all-factor development. Third, the driving mode of the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem for industrial digitalization has its emphasis on different developmental stages, indicating a shift from passive influence by tangible factors like policies and infrastructure to active influence by intangible factors such as market dynamics.This study has several practical contributions. First, for cities in the initial stage, a dual strategy of policy promotion and construction driving should be adopted to seize policy and construction opportunities. Second, for cities in the development stage, a strategy involving the development of digital markets and infrastructure should be employed to expand market scale and infrastructure development. Third, for cities in the mature stage, a strategy involving the selection and development should be implemented to optimize surplus industries and explore advanced industries, thus improving the regional industrial structure.

Research on the impact of digital transformation on the innovation gap of the regional high-tech industry Zhang Kuangwei, Yu Liping 2024, 45(7): 49-58.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.006 Abstract ( 170 )      The high-tech industry plays an important role in promoting coordinated development of regional innovation. Studying the impact of digital transformation on the innovation gap of high-tech industries is of great significance for optimizing the innovation spatial pattern and enhancing the overall strength of scientific and technological innovation.This paper analyzed the impact mechanism of digital transformation on innovation gap based on provincial panel data, and used the panel regression model, quantile regression model, panel threshold model, and BVAR model to empirically analyze the impact law and interactive relationship of digital transformation on innovation gap.The results showed that:(1) digital transformation has, in general, shown a significant narrowing effect on the innovation gap; (2) from a regional perspective, the digital transformation of provincial-level regions in the eastern region has widened the innovation gap, while the digital transformation of provincial-level regions in the central and western regions is conducive to narrowing the innovation gap; (3) as the innovation gap continues to widen, the role of digital transformation in narrowing it gradually diminishes; (4) when digital transformation is at a low or high level, it shows a significant narrowing effect on the innovation gap, and this narrowing effect is stronger when the level of digital transformation is high; and (5) the continuous widening of the innovation gap has suppressed the improvement of digital transformation level, and there is a negative interactive relationship between digital transformation and innovation gap.Therefore, different regions should formulate digital development strategies based on their own actual development, better leverage the role of digital transformation in narrowing innovation gaps and achieving innovation convergence, while objectively recognizing the positive role of innovation gaps. It is necessary to prevent both lack of innovation gaps and excess of innovation gaps. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Impact of knowledge spillover on regional innovation: An analysis based on innovation policies Wang Yajie, Liu Xueqian 2024, 45(7): 68-78.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.008 Abstract ( 186 )        Knowledge spillover is one of the engines that promote regional innovation and development, but its impact on regional innovation has both positive and negative effects. Innovation policies can effectively address the negative effects of knowledge spillover. The paper explored with the ridge regression model the influence of knowledge spillovers on regional innovation and the moderating effect of innovation policies, and studied with the system dynamics model the function paths of knowledge spillovers impacting on regional innovation supported by innovation policies. The results are as follows: knowledge spillover can promote regional innovation significantly, and the supply-oriented innovation policies, demand-oriented innovation policies and environmental innovation policies all have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between knowledge spillover and regional innovation. Moreover, knowledge spillover party has a greater impact on regional innovation, while the innovation policies of the knowledge receivers have a stronger moderating effect between knowledge spillovers and regional innovation. Therefore, knowledge spillover is a two-way process, in which the implementation of innovation policies can enhance the positive impact of knowledge spillover from both the spillover party and the spillover receiver on innovation output. The impact path of the innovation policies varies, and the government procurement policies and the intellectual property rights policies have a greater impact, while the financial support policies have a relatively smaller impact. The research examined the impact mechanism and path of knowledge spillover on regional innovation from both the knowledge spillover party and the spillover receiver, and revealed the role of innovation policies. The research findings will provide some empirical evidence and theoretical reference for enhancing the promoting effect of knowledge spillover on regional innovation, as well as implementing and improving innovation policies.

This paper selected China′s A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2020 as samples, and the authors manually collected the data of strategic investors and used the normative and empirical research methods to investigate the impact of strategic investors on enterprises′ green technology innovation. The results showed that the introduction of strategic investors can promote the green innovation behavior of enterprises, especially promote the substantive green technology innovation. The mechanism analysis showed that alleviating financing constraints, enhancing R&D investment, and reducing enterprise risks are important mechanisms for strategic investors to promote enterprise green technology innovation. The heterogeneity analysis showed that the effect of strategic investors on promoting green technology innovation is more significant in state-owned enterprises, enterprises with high capital intensity and enterprises facing low environmental uncertainty. In addition, environmental subsidies can significantly enhance the role of strategic investors in promoting green technology innovation, while environmental regulations inhibit the above effect. This paper has not only expanded the literature on enterprise green innovation and on strategic investors, but also provided enlightenment for promoting the integration of strategic investors with the behavior of enterprise green innovation.

Research on the key core technology breakthrough paths of technology enterprises from the perspective of dynamic resource management Sun Yujie, Yan Shumin, Jiang Huiling, Chen Jiayi 2024, 45(7): 90-100.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.010 Abstract ( 115 )      Breakthrough in key core technologies is an important step and intrinsic requirement for China to achieve high-level science and technology self-reliance, which is crucial for promoting high-quality development and maintaining competitive advantages of enterprises. In this study, we conducted a longitudinal case study of KingMed Diagnostics and explored the internal mechanism and specific paths of breakthroughs in key core technologies from the perspective of dynamic resource management. We found that: (1) The precursor to breakthroughs in key core technologies is the cognitive process where managers perceive external situations and respond internally, manifesting as the dynamic evolution of "benchmarking—technology extension—technology expansion". (2) The essence of breakthroughs in key core technologies lies in managers′ cognitive responses and their construction of resource action strategies that match them, embodied in the dynamic succession of "resource pooling—resource arrangement—resource orchestration". (3) Achieving breakthroughs in key core technologies involves a gradual progression from low-level to high-level through technological exploration, technological expansion, and technological upgrading, presenting as the progressive evolution of "technological standardization→technological scaling→technological iteration". This study constructs a process model of breakthroughs in key core technologies, revealing the process mechanisms of technological innovation, aiming to provide beneficial insights for innovation management practices in technology enterprises.

Research on the technological innovation collaboration of digitalization with patent-intensive industries Wu Qun, Han Tianran, Jiang Nan 2024, 45(7): 101-109.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.011 Abstract ( 129 )     Patent-intensive industries have many key technologies and core patents. Exploring how digitalization can better promote patent-intensive industries to achieve breakthroughs in technological innovation collaboration is of great significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure and enhancing national core competitiveness. Based on the perspective of "input-output", this paper analyzed the influence mechanism of digitalization level on technological innovation collaboration of patent-intensive industries by using provincial panel data to make an empirical analysis. The results showed that technological innovation collaboration of patent-intensive industries shows a steady growth trend in time, and forms a pattern of "high in the east, flat in the middle, low in the west and northeast" in space; digitalization as a whole can positively promote technological innovation collaboration of patent-intensive industries, specifically, digital infrastructure level has a positive relationship with technological innovation collaboration, and the digital application development level has an inverted U-shaped relationship with technological innovation collaboration. In terms of the mechanism, digitalization can achieve a higher level of technological innovation collaboration by improving the level of industrial agglomeration. From the perspective of industrial heterogeneity, the effect of digitalization on technological innovation collaboration in "complex" patent-intensive industries is better than that in "discrete" patent-intensive industries. The above conclusions has enriched the research system of the integration and development of digitalization and patent-intensive industries, and deepened the theoretical basis for optimizing the intellectual property system based on the needs of industrial technological innovation.

Research on the impact of intellectual property investigations on the export product quality of Chinese enterprises Dai Zhongqiang, Xiao Suwan 2024, 45(7): 110-117.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.012 Abstract ( 93 )       Product quality is an important support for promoting the highquality development of China′s foreign trade and accelerating the construction of a trading powerhouse. It is also an intrinsic driving force for the growth in export quantity and enhancement of competitiveness. This paper utilized the micro-level data obtained from unfair import investigations of the U.S. International Trade Commission, the Chinese Industrial Enterprise Database, and the Chinese Customs Database. Through the application of the Difference-in-Differences (DID) approach, it empirically analyzed the impact of intellectual property investigations on the export product quality of involved Chinese enterprises. The research findings are as follows: (1) intellectual property registration investigations have a significant positive effect on the export product quality of Chinese enterprises under investigation. This is mainly attributed to the external pressure faced by these enterprises. In order to maintain their market share in the United States, they were forced to engage in technological innovation and internal product structure perfection, thereby improving the quality of their export products; (2) When the final ruling of an intellectual property investigation is unfavorable, the investigated enterprises will face several challenges. High litigation costs, financing pressure due to reduced sales in the United States, and potential trade diversions to non-US markets all work against the improvement of their export product quality; (3) Heterogeneity analysis revealed that the impact of intellectual property investigations on export product quality varies depending on the degree of reliance on the US market by the enterprises. Compared with the enterprises with high reliance on the US market, it was found that intellectual property registration investigations have a relatively limited promotional effect on the product quality of the enterprises with low reliance on the US market, while the negative impact of a final ruling loss on their export product quality is relatively small. This paper has extended the research on how external demand shocks affect the export product quality of enterprises, with a focus on micro-level analysis. Additionally, it will offer some practical guidance for the Chinese government in developing a system to prevent and control risks associated with foreign intellectual property. It will also suggest some means to establish mechanisms for the protection of overseas intellectual property rights for enterprises. Related Articles | Metrics

Impact of AI patent networks on the intelligent development of enterprises Meng Fansheng, Zhao Yan, Feng Yaohui, Xin Kai 2024, 45(7): 118-126.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.013 Abstract ( 181 )        The AI patent is an important means to promote manufacturing enterprises to transform traditional production methods and achieve intelligent development. Exploring the mechanism by which AI patent networks affect the intelligent development of enterprises can help reveal external effective paths to enhance intelligent development. By combining the open innovation theory and knowledge base theory, and based on the "structure-resources-capability" framework, this paper used a modified gravity model to construct innovation networks with 2010-2022 AI patents of manufacturing enterprises and used the bidirectional fixed effects model to explore the impact of the position of AI patent networks on the intelligent development of enterprises. The theoretical and empirical research results indicated that the position of AI patent networks has a significant promoting effect on the intelligent development of enterprises, that is, having high centrality and structural holes is conducive to the intelligent development of enterprises. AI patent network position is beneficial for improving knowledge breadth and depth of enterprises, but it mainly indirectly promotes the intelligent development of enterprises through knowledge depth. The intelligent development of enterprises has a network peer effect, and it positively moderates the positive relationship between the position of AI patent networks and the intelligent development of enterprises. In technology-intensive industries and developed cities, the position of AI patent networks has a more significant positive effect on promoting the intelligent development of enterprises. This paper took the AI patents as the foundation for constructing networks, studied the external factors of intelligent development from the perspective of network position, and clarified the important path for improving the development of enterprise intelligence through the position of AI patent networks, which has enriched the research on the antecedents of enterprise intelligence development; it also extended the peer effect to the activities of enterprise intelligent development to reveal the decision-making motives for enterprises to choose intelligent development, thereby further enriching the research framework on the impact of the position of AI patent networks on the intelligent development of enterprises. The study has expanded the research on the antecedents of intelligent development and provided some theoretical guidance for manufacturing enterprises to actively plan intelligent manufacturing strategies.

With the intensification of the anti-globalization trend in recent years, there have been localized block in the international circulation. How to effectively enhance firms′ status in GVCs has become an important issue that urgently needs to be solved. Based on the quasinatural experiment of "China′s Intellectual Property Pilot Cities" from 2000 to 2013, this paper adopted the DID model and empirically investigated the impact of cities construction for intellectual property (CCIP) on the status in firms′ GVCs and its mechanism. It was found that: (1) the CCIP is helpful to the upgrading of located firms′ status in GVCs; (2) creating an environment of innovation, attracting foreign direct investment, and introducing advanced production equipment are the key mechanisms; and (3) there is significant heterogeneity in the policy effects, with a greater impact on general trade firms, intellectual property intensive firms, and foreignfunded firms. Our findings will have implications for the implementation of the Intellectual Property Power Strategy, and upgrading firms′ GVCs status through the CCIP. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A study of the impact of interdisciplinary research on the scholars′ academic performance Guo Hai, Yang Luni, Chen Ping 2024, 45(7): 136-144.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.015 Abstract ( 130 )      At present, interdisciplinary research has become an important trend in building the management theory system of China. We wonder, therefore, whether management scholars will engage in interdisciplinarity research? Based on the optimal distinctiveness theory, utilizing a large sample of 37,046 international management papers from 16,400 Chinese management scholars during 20 years (2002-2021) of the internationalization of Chinese management research, this study empirically examined the impact of scholars′ knowledge diversification on their academic performance. We found that, knowledge diversification has a positive effect on academic performance through the innovation mechanism, and that knowledge dissimilarity plays positive and negative roles through both innovation and legitimacy mechanism, eliciting an inverted U-shaped effect. In addition, we analyzed the intertwined effects of the two, finding that combining both knowledge diversification and dissimilarity is not conducive to boosting the publication counts, but it can synergistically contribute to the citation counts. The study has unveiled the black box of how scholars′ knowledge diversification affects their academic performance, and therefore advanced the optimal distinctiveness theory. The research findings will have important implications for scholars on how to engage in interdisciplinary research and will also provide insights for policy-makers on establishing interdisciplinary fields.

Research on the conditions and paths of platform leading enterprises to realize value ecological business model innovation Zhu Guojun, Zheng Honghao, Wu Jiahao 2024, 45(7): 145-152.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.016 Abstract ( 104 )      Giving full play to the important role of leading enterprises on the industrial internet platform in the transformation and upgrading of the real economy, and promoting the industrial internet transformation of manufacturing industrial clusters, is an important strategic support for promoting high-quality development. Taking Huawei and Ali as case studies, and following the research framework of "Technology-Organization-Environment" (TOE) through the procedural grounding theory, it was found in this paper that the leading enterprises of industrial internet platforms rely on cross-industry and cross-domain industrial internet platforms to play the super-network embedding effect of digital assets in technical factors, build an ecological community, and patch up resources of digital ecosystems in organizational factors to form digital dynamic capabilities. In the environmental factors, the value of digital innovation and entrepreneurship ecology emerges. Under the synergistic effect of the above three factors, manufacturing clusters grow in an inclusive way, thus realizing business model innovation at the value ecological level. Huawei and other leading enterprises of non-digital native industrial internet platform underwent "fission first and then fusion", while Ali and other leading enterprises of digital native industrial internet platform underwent "fusion first and then fission" to realize the innovation of value ecological business model. The related research has clarified the theoretical connotation and extension of the value eco-business model innovation, and provided a new research perspective for the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, thus offering practical enlightenment for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.

Thus, it is of theoretical and practical significance to study how to promote the international entrepreneurship performance of the newly-established cluster technological SMEs through dual knowledge network embedding. This study integrated the theories of network embeddedness and organizational learning, and built an analytical framework of the relationship between dual knowledge network embedding, collaborative learning across organizations, transnational entrepreneurial orientation, and international entrepreneurial performance of technological cluster SMEs. Through an empirical analysis of 274 survey data samples, the research found that: (1) dual knowledge network embedding has a positive impact on the growth of international entrepreneurial performance of cluster technological SMEs. The embedding of knowledge network can produce positive economic externalities, exert knowledge spillover effects, enhance the stickiness among cluster enterprises, and thus provide continuous momentum for international entrepreneurship; (2) collaborative learning across organizations plays a mediating role between dual knowledge network embedding and international entrepreneurial performance; and (3) transnational entrepreneurial orientation can positively adjust the relationship between  dual knowledge network embedding and international entrepreneurial performance. In theory, this study can help to better understand the internal working mechanism of dual knowledge network embedding upon international entrepreneurship performance. In terms of management practice, it has shed lights that the cluster technological enterprises should strengthen the integration and reconstruction of internal and external knowledge networks, transform embedded tacit knowledge resources into real international entrepreneurial momentum, and thus achieve the high international entrepreneurship performance.

Relationship between the incubation experiences of maker spaces and the innovation performance of enterprises Gu Meng, Wang Donghan, Cui Yi 2024, 45(7): 174-181.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.019 Abstract ( 95 )      As an important component of innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, the maker space performs a vital role to drive China in becoming a world power in scientific and technology innovation. However, the development model of the maker space has changed into an innovation ecosystem model. Therefore, it is of great significance to discuss how to promote the innovation performance of enterprises by creating a synergy between the incubation experiences of maker spaces and the relevant factors of thirdparty stakeholders. Through dividing incubation experiences into experience width and experience depth, this study applied the synergy theory and examined how the incubation experiences of maker spaces, government subsidies and supports from the industry association jointly influence the innovation performance of enterprises. Taking the 1,078 maker spaces that has been included in the National Technology Business Incubator Management Service System from 2016 to 2018 as the research sample, we conducted an empirical analysis through negative binomial regression. It was found in the research that both the breadth and depth of incubation experiences are beneficial to the innovation performance of enterprises. Further research found that government subsidies merely enhance the positive impact of the breadth of incubation experiences on the innovation performance of enterprises, but have no significant moderating effect on the role of depth of incubation experiences and innovation performance of enterprises. In addition, industry association not only weakens the relationship between the breadth of incubation experiences and the innovation performance of enterprises, but concurrently strengthens the association between the depth of incubation experiences and the innovation performance of enterprises.This study also has some theoretical contributions as follows. First, by adopting the synergy theory, this study expanded the research perspective on the innovation performance of make spaces. Second, through dividing into the breadth and depth of incubation experiences, this paper elucidated the importance of the different dimensions of incubation experiences. Third, this paper identified the differentiated moderating effects of government subsidies and supports from the industry association, which enriches the indepth action mechanism on the relationship between incubation experiences and innovation performance of enterprises. At the same time, this study will provide some inspiration for the construction and development of maker spaces at the practical level. Related Articles | Metrics

Impacts of user-centered interactions on a firm′s innovation performance: A case study of HarmonyOS online community Zhang Jun, Wang Jingjing, Jiang Nan, Pan Rongrong 2024, 45(7): 182-192.  DOI: 10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2024.07.020 Abstract ( 129 )     The era characterized as time-based competition and turbulent environment has come, which makes a firm be aware of the strategic importance of co-creating value with users. And interaction has been recognized as the core of value co-creation. However, the questions of what kinds of interactions will contribute to a firm′s innovation, and how a firm guides those interactions to facilitate the goal of value co-creation to be realized needs to be clarified, since a mass of interactions occurs in the firm hosted online community. The present study aims to answer the questions mentioned above by means of research design integrating quality and quantity methods based on the theory of value co-creation. Using the dataset of multi-actor′s behaviors′ traces crawled from HarmonyOS′s user online community from September 3, 2021 to February 27, 2022, this present study firstly explored the measurements of user-centered interactions after the types of user-centered interactions have been identified. Then, the impacts of user-centered interactions on firm′s innovation performance with firm′s managerial behaviors in online community as moderators have been explored. Some findings were drawn as follows: (1) The impacts of user-centered interactions on a firm′s innovations show the characteristics of sequential ambidexterity, rather than the simply judgment of co-creation or co-destruction. Specifically, interaction between mass users benefits a firm′s radical innovation performance, while reducing the firm′s incremental innovation performance. And the interactions between mass users and the firm and those between mass users and the firm′s agents, namely, expert users, will reduce the firm′s innovation performance including radical and incremental innovation performances. (2) While the contribution of mass users to a firm′s innovation performance needs higher level of user self-governance, the interaction between mass users and the firm needs higher level of firm′s instruction. From the holistic perspective of whole process of value co-creation, our findings will contribute to the theory of value co-creation by identifying which kind of user-centered interactions and how a firm′s governance mechanisms designed to instruct those interactions to benefit a firm′s value co-production. The findings will be helpful for firms to make good uses of user-centered interactions occurring in online community in practice, especially in the era of digitalization. Finally, the theoretical contributions, managerial implications and limitations have also been discussed in this paper. Related Articles | Metrics
