Abstract: Solidly promoting the process of common prosperity has become an important mission of China in its pursuit of modernization. Enterprises play a crucial role in promoting shared value creation and achieving common prosperity. They actively prioritize low-income groups and make indispensable contributions to fostering regional inclusive development. Based on a study of Yitai North Pastoral, this paper obtains data through the "three-step coding method", and reveals the internal mechanism of digital technology enabling inclusive innovation in enterprises. The research finds that:(1) The identification of available resources and the reconstruction of resources serve as pivotal mechanisms for inclusive innovation within enterprises. Digital technology enables three core aspects:industrial strategic allocation (through smart planting systems), business model design (via breeding support service systems), and platform collaboration (by means of online marketing systems) to facilitate inclusive innovation within enterprises. (2) Enterprises enhance the efficiency of "resource reconstruction" by leveraging such digitally-driven capabilities as control capability (digital monitoring and feedback for accurate decision-making), collaboration capability (digital production traceability management for scientific breeding practices), and response capability (encompassing product demand forecasting to gain market insights), thus promoting inclusive innovation practices. The conclusions not only enrich the theory regarding inclusive innovation but also provide valuable managerial inspiration for Chinese enterprises seeking to harness the power of digital technology in empowering their own inclusive innovation practices.
