Unlocking Synergistic Innovation: The Mechanism of Technological and Market Innovation in China - A Relational Analysis of Environment, Management, and Innovation

Abstract

This research delves into the synergistic innovation mechanism between technological innovation and market innovation in China, focusing on the intricate interplay among environmental factors, management practices, and innovation outcomes. Through a relational analysis framework, we investigate how the organizational environment, managerial strategies, and innovation processes interact to foster synergistic innovation. Drawing on qualitative case studies and quantitative data analysis, we explore the mechanisms through which firms integrate technological and market innovation efforts to create value and sustain competitive advantage in the dynamic Chinese market. Our findings highlight the pivotal role of strategic alignment, organizational culture, and collaborative networks in driving synergistic innovation outcomes. By elucidating the complex relationships among environmental, management, and innovation factors, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underpinning synergistic innovation in the Chinese context, with implications for policy, practice, and future research directions.
