“…The output of fsQCA includes complex, intermediate, and parsimonious solutions. The intermediate solution, which strikes a balance between complexity and necessary conditions (if present), is usually preferred (Liu & Yang, 2023). The nesting relationship between the intermediate solution and the parsimonious solution helps identify the core and marginal conditions that trigger the consequence event (i.e., important influential conditions and auxiliary conditions).…”

“…The improvement and optimization of the business environment enhance business confidence and further promote the efficiency (Bachmann & Elstner, 2015;Liu & Yang, 2023), quality, and resilience (Song et al, 2021) of innovation output. The improvement and optimization of the business environment not only promote the high-quality development of regional enterprises but also enhance their position in the global value chain division of labor (Dai, 2020), thereby contributing to the overall high-quality development of the region (Augier et al, 2012).…”

Nurturing specialized and sophisticated enterprises is a vital strategic initiative to mitigate the dependency on crucial technologies and to promote the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing industry. Basing on a technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework, combined with geographic concentration, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), and data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods, this article analyzes the conducive business environment for the growth of specialized and sophisticated “little giant” enterprises (LGEs) from configurational perspective. It takes the quantity and density of LGEs in different regions of China as the consequence event. The findings show that: (1) the spatial distribution of LGEs is highly uneven with a geographic concentration index (CR5) of 0.436 and a Herfindahl–Hirschman Index of 0.0599. (2) The presence of numerous technology‐oriented SMEs and a “favorable” business environment are not necessarily the regions where a larger number of LGEs are fostered. Indeed, the harmonious interplay of TOE is more important for achieving optimal outcomes. The differential configurations contributing to the regional output variations of LGEs can be classified with three patterns: technology‐organization‐environment synergistic promotion type (H1), innovation stimulation through effective financial support type (H2a), and compensatory type for inadequate innovation resources (H2b). While these configurations may lead to similar outcomes, they do not yield the same effectiveness. (3) The DEA reveals a tendency for “over‐optimization” in improving regional business environment under the TOE framework, indicating the presence of “input redundancy” and corresponding “output loss” issues in TOE factors. Local governments must adhere to the “barrel principle” and optimize the business environment that aligns with development of LGEs through the concept of dynamic adaptation. Adopting an organizational mindset of “stringing beads into chains” can help construct regional industrial chains with distinctive features.

“…DIT, when effectively implemented, has the potential to optimize and facilitate service innovation activities, leading to enhanced performance outcomes. Despite the acknowledged impact of DIT on financial performance [9,10], innovation performance [11,12], and new product development performance [13,14], limited attention has been given to its effects on SIP [15]. Moreover, current research on DIT predominantly focuses on traditional industries, manufacturing, and service sectors, leaving the DIT of the construction industry in its early development stages.…”

With the ongoing intensification of VUCA environment, enhancing service innovation performance has become a crucial choice for enterprises striving for sustainable development. The emergence of digital transformation offers construction enterprises an opportunity to bolster their service innovation performance. However, effectively leveraging digital transformation for this purpose remains a formidable challenge. Therefore, this study proposes a theoretical model from the perspective of Resource-Based View, named “Digital Transformation-Dual Innovation-Service Innovation Performance”, to explore the impact of digital transformation on the service innovation performance of construction enterprises. This model proposes the impact path of digital transformation on service innovation performance, as well as a mediating role of dual innovation in this relationship. A questionnaire was designed and administered in China for collecting 291 valid responses. An analysis revealed that digital transformation exerts a positive impact on both dual innovation and service innovation performance, with the former proving to be more significant. Furthermore, dual innovation not only significantly enhances service innovation performance but also serves as a partial mediator between digital transformation and service innovation performance. The findings of this research clarify the internal mechanism by which digital transformation empowers service innovation in construction enterprises, offering insights for enhancing service innovation performance and achieving sustainable development.

Data connectivity is driving a shift in corporate business models toward social responsibility and stakeholder orientation, but existing research has focused on the significant increase in business value from business model platformization and has failed to answer the question of “what kind of business model platformization creates high social value in what contexts.” Business model platformization features are decomposed into three‐dimensional components of technology, architecture, and capability, and the external environment in which the business model creates value is segmented in terms of demand evolution and peer competition. This paper develops a technology–organization–environment (TOE) configurational framework, adopts fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), collects data from 42 enterprises with business model platformization, and analyzes what combinations of digital intelligence technology, platform architecture, dynamic capability, demand evolution, and peer competition constitute a high social value configuration. The study suggests that four configurations of the three main types, resource‐driven, demand‐driven, and total factor‐driven, constitute equivalent paths to high social value. With the help of the TOE framework to identify the configurations of business model platformization to create high social value, this paper provides theoretical support for enterprises aiming to create high social value in the face of peer competition and joint changes in the demand environment to choose the appropriate path of business model platformization from their own point of view.
