Innovative Response Strategies Of Chain Leader Enterprises To Technological Pressure Policy Changes

Against the backdrop of global industrial chain restructuring and intensified technological competition, the impact of technology pressure policies on the innovation decisions of chain leader enterprises has attracted much attention. This paper explores in depth how chain leader enterprises respond to changes in technology pressure policies and choose innovative response strategies. Through theoretical analysis, the connotation and mechanism of technology pressure policies, as well as the influencing factors of innovation decisions of chain leader enterprises, are clarified, and research hypotheses are proposed. In terms of research methods, multi-case fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is adopted, and chain leader enterprises such as BYD, Huawei, and Hengrui Medicine in the new energy vehicle, electronic information, and biopharmaceutical industries are selected as cases. Data is collected through multiple channels such as corporate annual reports and policy documents, and variables such as technology capability reserves, strategic orientation, policy pressure intensity, and upstream and downstream coordination capabilities of the industrial chain are accurately measured. Empirical analysis found that the univariate necessity analysis showed that no single variable could constitute a necessary condition for chain leader enterprises to adopt independent research and development innovation response strategies. The configuration analysis has found a variety of combinations that prompt chain-leading enterprises to adopt active innovation response strategies, such as "high policy pressure intensity + strong upstream and downstream synergy of the industrial chain + high strategic orientation (innovation-driven)" and "high technical capacity reserve + high strategic orientation (innovation-driven) + strong upstream and downstream synergy of the industrial chain". The research hypothesis is partially supported, indicating that the innovation response strategy of chain-leading enterprises is the result of the joint action of multiple factors. This paper expands the research on the relationship between technological innovation policy and enterprise innovation behavior, deepens the understanding of the innovation decision-making mechanism of chain-leading enterprises, and provides theoretical and practical guidance for the strategic decision-making of chain-leading enterprises and government policy formulation
