Abstract:

Promoting high-quality economic development and shaping the dual circulation pattern requires focused efforts on cultivating new quality productive forces. Digital technology innovation provides new momentum for accelerating the development of these new quality productive forces. Based on micro-panel data from A-share listed enterprises from 2012 to 2023, and after measuring corporate digital technology innovation capability and the development level of new quality productive forces, this study empirically examines the impact effect of corporate digital technology innovation on new quality productive forces and its mechanism of action. The research results indicate that digital technology innovation has a positive impact on the development of new quality productive forces, and this positive effect is primarily achieved through three transmission mechanisms: enhancing data-driven capability, market value creation capability, and organizational management capability. Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital technology innovation exhibits stronger empowering effects in regions with higher levels of intellectual property protection, industries with greater technological activity, and enterprises facing lower financing constraints. Extended analysis further indicates that new quality productive forces has a certain empowering effect on the high-quality development of enterprises.

Key words: digital technology innovation, data-driven capability, market value creation capability, organizational management capability, new quality productive forces
