“…Li et al [ 34 ] suggested that enterprise innovation ability will upgrade the EMI. Zhou et al [ 35 ] analyzed the process mechanism of team cognition’s influence on intelligence transformation, specifically focusing on executive team cognition. They also explored the driving factors behind the intelligence transformation of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.…”

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) bears the vital task of driving the growth of China’s equipment manufacturing industry (EMI) intelligence as an advanced region. Fostering the transformation and upgrading of the EMI in the YRD and constructing a modern production mode is vital to developing and reforming China’s manufacturing industry. This paper uses industrial robot data to assess the level of intelligence (LoI) in the EMI from 2016 to 2019. The OLS (ordinary least squares) model is used for the measurements, and the MQ (the modified contribution index) is used to estimate the degree of contribution from a host of variables. It is identified that the LoI is on the rise. However, excluding railways, aerospace, shipbuilding, and other transportation equipment manufacturing, the LoI is significantly higher than in other subsectors. It is also identified that technological innovation ability, human capital density, and enterprise cost pressure govern the industry’s LoI. Moreover, while there is a difference in the main influencing factors in LoI within different industries, R&D investment, technological innovation ability, and enterprise cost pressure have the most significant impact across most equipment manufacturing sub-industries.

How to promote firms’ environmental management behavior is a concern for academics. In order to explain the reasons why firms’ environmental management behavior exhibits heterogeneity from the institutional perspective, this paper seeks to investigate the relationship between macro-institutional pressures and firms’ environmental management behavior, with the moderating effects of micro-institutional pressures. Firms’ environmental management behavior is classified into substantive environmental management behavior and symbolic environmental management behavior. Macro-institutional pressures typically include environmental regulation, industry imitation, and media attention, while micro-institutional pressures include cognitive focus of executive and cognitive complexity of executive. A sample of 236 groups from 118 listed companies in China’s heavy-polluting industries is employed. It is found that environmental regulation is more likely to promote substantive environmental management behavior, while industry imitation and media attention are more likely to promote symbolic environmental management behavior. Moreover, cognitive focus of executive negatively moderates the relationship between environmental regulation and substantive environmental management behavior and the relationship between media attention and symbolic environmental management behavior. Cognitive complexity of executive positively moderates the relationship between macro-institutional pressures and firms’ environmental management behavior. The findings of this paper clarify the reasons for the heterogeneity of firms’ environmental management behavior from the institutional perspective, which contributes to improving the institutional environment, integrating executive cognition, and promoting firms’ environmental management behavior.

“…Industrial AI transformation is an important decision deployment of enterprises and is closely related to executives (Zhou et al ., 2022). According to the upper echelons theory, the work experience of executives profoundly affects the cognitive structure and decision-making mode of executives, which is finally reflected in corporate behavioral decisions (Saeed et al ., 2022; Hermano and Martin-Cruz, 2016; Schoar and Zuo, 2017).…”

PurposeIn order to effectively promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy and empower real enterprises to improve quality and efficiency, this study regards the CEO as a high-end innovation resource and aims to empirically test the impact of scholar-type CEOs on the industrial artificial intelligence (AI) transformation of manufacturing enterprises.Design/methodology/approachGrounded on the upper echelons theory, this paper preliminarily selects A-share manufacturing listed companies in Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange that are affiliated to enterprise groups from 2014 to 2020 as samples. Furthermore, the Logit regression is conducted to analyze the influence of scholar-type CEOs about industrial AI transformation.FindingsThe results show that scholar-type CEO plays a significant role in promoting industrial AI transformation. The parent-subsidiary corporations executives' ties positively moderates the impact of scholar-type CEOs on industrial AI transformation. Further, internal control quality plays a partial mediating role between scholar-type CEOs and industrial AI transformation. Compared with private enterprises, scholar-type CEOs play a stronger role in promoting industrial AI transformation of state-owned enterprises.Originality/valueFirst, this paper expands the research related to the influencing factors of industrial AI transformation based on upper echelons theory and clarifies the influencing mechanism of scholar-type CEOs affecting industrial AI transformation from the perspective of executives' behavior. Second, this study further enriches the research framework on the economic consequences of scholar-type CEOs and provides a useful supplement to the research literature in the field of upper echelons theory. Third, this paper is not limited to a single enterprise but involves the management practice of resource allocation within the enterprise groups, further clarifies the internal logic of the decision-making of industrial AI transformation of listed companies within the framework of enterprise groups, providing theoretical reference for the scientific design of the governance mechanism of parent-subsidiary companies.
