Year: 2024
Type: preprint
Abstract: In the context of dual-carbon goals, high-quality development has become an inevitable trend for technology enterprises. This study employs a dynamic Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method, based on the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework theory, and a configurational analysis perspective. Using panel data from Chinese listed high- and new-technology enterprises from 2013 to 2022 as the research sample, this study explores the combinatorial paths that drive high-quality development. The research findings are as follows: (1) The antecedent factors for high-quality development exhibit "multiple concurrent" characteristics, and a single condition does not constitute a necessary condition. (2) Based on the five driving paths for high-quality development, three models can be summarized under the synergistic effects of different antecedent conditions: "multi-factor influence type,” "green innovation-led type,” and "digital technology-driven type.” Regardless of the path, R&D investment and enterprise scale are indispensable driving factors. (3) Under specific objective endowment conditions, when enterprise executives possess a high level of green cognition, they can compensate for inadequate digital transformation, market competition, and environmental regulations. Therefore, enterprises need to enhance scale and R&D investment, based on existing endowments, and shift from a single-factor influence concept to a comprehensive selection approach.
