    Can Data Assets Be Securitized—Discussion on Four Feasible Modes
    Hu Zhengqing, Sun Zhan, Huang Qianqian, Yi Chengqi, Yu Shiyang
    Management Review    2024, 36 (12): 37-46,59.  
    Abstract953)      PDF (10683KB)(299)      
    With the rapid development of the data element market, the commercial value of data elements is gradually being paid attention to and recognized by enterprises. As an important asset, data has become one of the key elements that cannot be ignored in the process of enterprise development. The value realization path of data elements from resource to asset and then to securitization has opened up a new financing channel for enterprises. This paper attempts to analyze the concept, feasibility and possible potential risks of data asset securitization. On the basis of innovative practical experience, four models of data asset securitization are exploratorily proposed, and the operating mechanism, main characteristics and applicable enterprises of each model are discussed in depth. Then we deeply explore the operating mechanism, main characteristics, and applicable enterprises of each model, and propose the relevant supporting policies and regulatory mechanisms that can support the high-quality development of data asset securitization in the future, in the hope of providing useful reference for the high-quality development of data asset securitization in China.

    The Impact of Digital Transformation on Enterprise Financial Performance: The Mediating and Moderating Roles of Dynamic Capabilities
    Wang Kaiyang, Sun Zhuo, Chen Pengcheng
    Management Review    2024, 36 (12): 249-262.  
    Abstract558)      PDF (11466KB)(91)      
    In the context of the digital economy, enterprises seek to enhance their financial performance through digital transformation. By constructing a financing-production decision-making model under the condition of random fluctuations in business results, this paper reveals the internal mechanism by which digital transformation affects financial performance through dynamic capabilities, and points out the moderating and mediating roles of financial flexibility, as a specific dimension of dynamic capabilities, in the process of performance improvement. Based on the A-share panel data from 2007 to 2020, this paper tests the theoretical model, and the empirical study finds that: first, digital transformation can improve the adaptability of enterprises to market environment fluctuations, and thus can significantly improve the financial performance of enterprises; second, financial flexibility plays both mediating and moderating roles in the above process, and enterprises with financial flexibility can better improve their financial performance by implementing digital transformation. This paper helps to enrich the theory about the role of digitalization in enterprise management and provides relevant enlightenment for better exerting the role of enterprise digital transformation.

    Quantitative Assessment and Optimization Paths of Data Factor Policies Based on the PMC Index Model
    Zhang Xi, Shi Yanwen, Du Wanli, Sun Kexin, Wang Xuyan, Zhang Te, Pian Yutong, Wang Qiuren
    Management Review    2024, 36 (12): 3-14.  
    Abstract503)      PDF (10413KB)(91)      
    China’s data factor market is still in its early stage of development, making scientifically-based policy formulation crucial for its stable growth. This paper employs content analysis to examine 28 national-level data factor policies as of the end of 2023 and utilizes the PMC index model for quantitative evaluation. The results indicate that 5 policies achieved a perfect level, 16 were rated excellent, and 3 were acceptable. There remains room for improvement in the diversity, comprehensiveness, balance, and sustainability of these policies. This paper proposes the following recommendations: First, to address the insufficient coverage of certain stakeholders in previous policies, a more inclusive cooperation mechanism should be established to ensure active participation from all parties in developing the data factor market. Second, to enhance the support for technological tools and service scenarios, which were rated lower in previous policies, future policies should further strengthen these areas. Third, given the high scores in risk management and lower scores in value creation, future policies should focus on improving efficiency and value creation while ensuring security and control. Fourth, to address the lower scores in long-term planning within policy timeliness, the sustainability of future policies should be enhanced.

    Executives' Overseas Experience and Corporate Innovation
    Wang Ren, Zhou Yuting, Chen Jiajing, Huang Ruiqin, Zhang Shaoyong
    Management Review    2024, 36 (11): 98-109.  
    Abstract435)      PDF (1284KB)(216)      
    With the acceleration of global economic integration, innovation has become the core of corporate competitiveness. The existing literature explores the impact of executives’ background on corporate innovation mostly from the perspective of their social relationships, but seldom from the perspective of their personal experiences. Can executives’ overseas experience promote corporate innovation? What are the underlying mechanisms? This paper finds that the overseas experience background of executive teams can promote corporate innovation, and there is heterogeneity in this promotion effect, which is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises. In the mechanism test, it is found that the background of the executive team’s overseas experience promotes corporate innovation by alleviating their firm’s financing constraints, suppressing the degree of management myopia, and improving their firm’s risk-taking ability, and that external support positively regulates the financing constraints, and negatively regulates the management myopia and risk-taking. The findings of this paper will provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for improving the allocation structure of corporate managers to promote corporate innovation.

    Data Elements Empower Enterprise Innovation: From the Perspective of Internal and External Resources
    Chen Lili, Zhang Ruoqi, Rong Ke
    Management Review    2024, 36 (12): 15-25.  
    Abstract391)      PDF (10948KB)(210)      
    Giving full play to the role of data elements to empower enterprise innovation and development is an important channel for the high-quality development of China’s economy. Based on the data of A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2022, this paper measures data elements from four dimensions, namely, data element stock, data development capability, data-driven business application, and data value realization, respectively, to explore the impact of data elements on enterprise innovation. It is found that data elements are conducive to improving corporate innovation. From the perspective of internal resources, data elements significantly reduce the level of information asymmetry, which in turn promotes enterprise innovation, and executives with information technology backgrounds are better able to utilize data elements to reduce the level of information asymmetry in enterprises, which in turn better promotes enterprise innovation. From the perspective of external resources, data elements enhance innovation by reducing the concentration of the enterprise supply chain and obtaining more diversified external resources. Further research finds that data elements are more effective in promoting innovation for firms in growth and decline periods, firms in non-polluting industries, and firms in cities with better digital economy development. The research provides evidence on how enterprises can realise independent innovation and how data elements can empower the real economy to develop at a high quality.

    Algorithmic Control, Facades of Conformity and Gig Workers' Service Performance: The Moderating Effects of Perception of Challenge and Hindrance Stress
    Guo Tongmei, Guo Qiuyun
    Management Review    2024, 36 (11): 194-205.  
    Abstract316)      PDF (1309KB)(110)      
    In the era of the new gig economy, algorithms have become a crucial link between platform enterprises and gig workers, serving as a key mechanism for controlling and rewarding gig workers. Gig workers under algorithm control are task-oriented and lack emotional commitment to the platform enterprises, leading them to respond to algorithm control through surface compliance and resulting in lower service performance. Drawing upon resource conservation theory, this study aims to explore facades of conformity behavior of gig workers under algorithm control and examines its mediating role between algorithm control and service performance. Additionally, this study finds that the perceived challenge and hindrance stress of gig workers moderate the relationship between algorithm control and surface compliance. The empirical findings suggest that algorithm control positively promotes gig workers’ facades of conformity, which in turn leads to lower service performance. However, when gig workers perceive algorithm control as a challenging stress, it reduces their facades of conformity behavior. On the other hand, perceiving algorithm control as hindrance stress intensifies gig workers’ surface compliance. These results provide insights into the behavioral strategies and psychological perceptions of gig workers under algorithm control, offering practical implications for platform enterprises to optimize algorithm control strategies and the platform ecosystem.

    Measurement of Regional Green Development and Exploration of Its Spatial Network
    Su Yi, Fan Qiming
    Management Review    2025, 37 (2): 19-30.  
    Abstract271)      PDF (10618KB)(116)      
    This paper constructs a green development evaluation index system based on DPSIR model, and explores its spatial network structure on the basis of measuring regional green development level. The results are as follows. (1) Green development is not balanced among regions. The level of green development in each region can be divided into four categories: mature type, rapid development type, gradual promotion type and early growth type. Economically developed regions are more likely to generate development advantages through “response + drive”, while resource-dependent and traditional industry-intensive regions lag behind in green development due to lack of innovation. (2) In the space network, inter-regional connectivity is strong and there is no strict hierarchical structure, which is conducive to promoting inter-regional cooperation and complementarity. However, the stability of the network is weak, and a high-quality regional cooperation pattern has not yet been formed. (3) Location factors, rather than capacity factors, are the key to whether a region can occupy an important position in the space network. Compared with regions at high levels of green development, regions at low levels of green development are more likely to produce spillover effects. The research results provide ideas for further promoting high-quality green development in China. On the one hand, all regions should pay attention to the coordinated development of DPSIR elements, open up the transformation channel of “policy-response-driving force”, excavate the driving path from productivity to “pressure reduction-state improvement-green welfare”, and explore the high-quality development path according to local conditions. On the other hand, it is necessary to break the barriers between regions, give play to the role of specific regional ties, stimulate the leading role of green areas, increase support for weak green areas, build a spatial pattern of green, low-carbon and high-quality development, and promote coordinated regional development.

    Mechanism of Value Co-creation in Construction Projects with the Integrated Digital Delivery Mode: A Service Ecosystems Perspective
    Wang Guangbin, Yang Yuchen, Zhang Wenjuan, Liu Gang, Cao Dongping
    Management Review    2025, 37 (1): 257-272.  
    Abstract265)      PDF (1947KB)(128)      
    In the context of national high-quality development requirements, value-driven strategies have become a pivotal direction in professional management in construction. Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) is an innovative execution mode for realizing value delivery in construction projects. This study focuses on the value co-creation process within the IDD mode from a service ecosystems perspective, utilizing the Structured-Pragmatic-Situational case study methodology to establish a value co-creation mechanism model. This study reveals that: (1) the value co-creation within the IDD mode is based on a service ecosystem characterized by a loosely coupled actor-to-actor oriented network; (2) institutions govern the relationships between actors across regulative, normative, and cognitive dimensions, guiding decisions and actions based on project value; (3) digital technologies enable cross-phase collaboration, facilitating the integration and simplification of project workflows; (4) interaction is a crucial antecedent to value co-creation, enabling actors to engage in each other’s value creation processes; (5) the value emergence from the heteropathic resource integration is the cornerstone of value creation within the IDD mode. This study innovatively abstracts construction projects as service ecosystems, revealing how the IDD mode facilitates value co-creation through the interplay of various elements, and making a theoretical contribution to the studies of value co-creation in construction projects and the theoretical framework of service-dominant logic.

    The Impact of Global Key Shipping Channel Disruption on Supply Chain—Case Study on the Grounding of Ever Given in Suez Canal
    Li Dengyuhui, Jiao Jianbin, Wang Shouyang, Zhou Guanghui
    Management Review    2025, 37 (2): 237-248.  
    Abstract265)      PDF (10371KB)(123)      
    The safety and smooth flow of key shipping channels is a prerequisite for supply chain operations. The grounding of Ever Given led to a six-day blockage of the Suez Canal, disrupting the international trade and logistics supply chain seriously. It set the highest record for container shipping in terms of vessel tonnage, congestion degree, and economic loss. This paper scrutinizes the whole process of the grounding of Ever Given and the structural risks faced by the Suez Canal route. The impact is analyzed from the perspectives of the chain reaction of global supply chain, the international crude oil price fluctuation, large-scale congestion in ports, the rapid growth of shipping price, and impacts on China’s foreign trade. Then, this paper summarizes the implications of this blockage for global supply chain risk management, and provides guidance for impact assessment and emergency management of the possible disruptions caused by other blockages of key shipping channels.

    The Structure and Evolution of Industrial Embodied Carbon Emission Flow Network in China under the Constraint of Carbon Peaking
    Wang Zhaohua, Wang Shuohan, Li Hao, Wang Song, Zhang Shuang
    Management Review    2025, 37 (4): 3-16.  
    Abstract260)      PDF (11018KB)(228)      
    The upstream and downstream of the industrial production process are highly correlated, so changing the existing production process is bound to bring about transformations in the whole industrial system. Therefore, in order to achieve the carbon peak in the industrial sector, it is necessary to study the embodied carbon emission flow relationship between different industries to promote carbon emission reduction collaboratively. In this paper, we compile China’s input-output tables of 2025 and 2030 based on GRAS method and use expanded environment input-output model (EEIO) and social network analysis method (SNA) to identify the characteristics of the structure and evolution of the embodied carbon emission flow networks of China’s industrial chain during 2010 to 2030. The results show that during 2010 to 2030, the embodied carbon emissions of the power sector show a rapid rising trend, while those of petrochemical, chemical, non-metallic mineral products, smelting and pressing of mental decrease between 8% and 30%. As for the perspective of network structure, chemical, non-metallic mineral products and mental smelting and pressing sectors are the main embodied carbon “importers”, while electric power, chemical and special equipment manufacturing sectors are the main embodied carbon “suppliers”. Electric power sector, chemicals and specialized equipment manufacturing contribute 40% of the intermediation capacity in embodied carbon emission network. Under the constraint of carbon peak target, the center of embodied carbon network is gradually transferred to the tertiary industry, and electric power, service and transportation sectors become important “bridge” in the process of embodied carbon transfer.

    The Cyclical Transition Characteristics of the Bull and Bear States in China's Stock Market: Based on the DMCPSO-HSMM Model
    Yang Jie, Feng Yun, Yang Hao
    Management Review    2024, 36 (11): 3-13.  
    Abstract258)      PDF (3327KB)(1343)      
    This paper studies the periodic transition of the state of China’s stock market and discusses the time-varying distribution characteristics of returns of CSI300 in depth. By introducing the dynamic population reorganization based on the K-means + + clustering algorithm and the chaotic search strategy into the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm, a dynamic multi-population chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, and the initial values of hidden semi-Markov model are further optimized based on this algorithm. The empirical analysis shows that there exist three states in China’s stock market, namely the bear, bull, and volatile markets. A bull market generally follows a bear market, and after a bullish situation, the market has a greater probability of turning to a volatile situation. The volatile state and the bearish state play key roles in the leptokurtic and heavy-tailed characteristics of the stock market, respectively. Based on the decoding results, a mode transformation network is constructed using the coarse-grained method, and key hub modes are identified. Further analysis is conducted on the co-movement of bull and bear states of large-, medium-, and small-cap stocks. There is a significant cyclical polarization between large-cap and medium-or small-cap stocks. Finally, we propose a more accurate out-of-sample forecasting method for the hidden semi-Markov model and prove the practical value of our model via a simple market timing strategy.

    A Causal Theoretical Framework Construction and Future Research Directions of Corporate Greenwashing
    Xie Xuemei, Chen Wenyan, Zhang Huimiao
    Management Review    2024, 36 (10): 9-21.  
    Abstract252)      PDF (12361KB)(209)      
    The proposal of the national strategic goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutralization” (hereinafter referred to as “double carbon”) urges enterprises to undertake the important task of building a “net zero carbon” country. However, in the process of realizing “net zero carbon”, the emergence of “corporate hypocrisy” which is represented by “greenwashing” needs to be effectively controlled. Therefore, how to identify greenwashing and its governance has become a core issue of enterprise management under the goal of double carbon. On this basis, this study takes 275 references related to greenwashing from the core database of Web of Science as research samples to systematically investigate the antecedent, behaviors, consequences and governance of greenwashing. Firstly, this study forms a logical connection from the perspective of cause and consequence which is derived from describing the development and evolution of research hotspots. Secondly, this study uses the theory of causality to construct a comprehensive theoretical framework of “Antecedents—Behaviors—Consequences—Solution” upon the thorough review. Finally, through summarizing the limitations of existing studies at home and abroad, the future research directions and suggestions for greenwashing governance in the context of China are proposed in a theoretical framework of TCCM (Theory—Context—Characteristics—Methodology).

    Local Government Debt Expansion and Corporate Trade Credit Supply
    Wu Yuhui, Mo Yifan
    Management Review    2025, 37 (3): 3-16.  
    Abstract249)      PDF (1240KB)(141)      
    This paper empirically examines the impact of government debt expansion on corporate trade credit supply and its underlying mechanisms based on hand-collected and compiled comprehensive data on local government debt and financial data of non-financial listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2007 to 2019. The findings show that government debt expansion has a significant inhibitory effect on corporate trade credit supply, and the effect is more pronounced in enterprises that are non-state-owned, small-scaled, and exposed to less industry competition. The mechanism test reveals that the expansion of government debt scale aggravates the financing constraints, operational risks, and tax burdens of enterprises, thereby reducing their trade credit supply. Further research shows that government debt expansion shortens the supply period of trade credit and lowers its quality. This study provides reference and guidance for strengthening government debt governance and preventing systemic financial risks.

    Can Executive Opportunistic Stock Selling Restrictions Improve Stock Price Informativeness? Evidence from the “New Regulation on Insider Selling” in China
    Huang Wan, Luo Hong
    Management Review    2025, 37 (2): 3-18.  
    Abstract246)      PDF (12694KB)(158)      
    It is of great significance to effectively regulate executives’ selling behaviors to promote the long-term, stable and healthy development of capital market. Based on the “New Regulation on Insider Selling” in China and using data from A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2021, this paper investigates the impact of restricting executives’ opportunistic stock selling on stock price informativeness. The results show that restricting executives’ opportunistic stock selling can help improve stock price informativeness. This effect is more significant when the selling scale is large and when there are stock sales by core executives. Moreover, this promotion effect is also strengthened for firms that are exposed to a poor information environment and prone to manipulate information disclosure. Further analysis suggests that restricting executives’ opportunistic stock selling can promote firm-level information collection by external investors, as evidenced by wider institutional shareholdings and more attention from investors. In addition, restricting executives’ opportunistic stock selling makes a firm’s current stock price more reflective of its future earnings. The main conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. Overall, this paper enriches the literature on both insider trading supervision and stock price informativeness, and has enlightenment for regulatory authorities to improve the design of stock selling system and promote the high-quality development of capital market.

    An In-depth Analysis of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics
    Yang Ziyan, Zhou Yinggang
    Management Review    2024, 36 (10): 3-8.  
    Abstract218)      PDF (5023KB)(112)      
    This paper provides a systematic review of the research contributions by the 2024 Nobel laureates in Economics-Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (AJR). From the perspective of whether external experiences can guide domestic development, it examines AJR’s research on how colonial institutions affect economic development and its practical implications. The paper first introduces the academic background and research characteristics of the three scholars, focusing on their breakthrough contributions to institutional economics. While AJR’s “natural experiment” approach confirms the significant impact of institutions on economic development, their theory shows limitations when applied to non-colonial countries. The paper also explores AJR’s profound influence on political economics, particularly examining its theoretical resonance and divergence with Marxist political economics. The study demonstrates that the effectiveness of institutional transplantation depends on local conditions, suggesting that developing countries should forge their own development paths based on national conditions while learning from international experiences.

    Resource Matching and Pathway Selection for Building Digital Resilience: A Multiple Case Study from Dynamic Resource Perspective
    Cui Miao, Qian Jinfang, Liu Tao
    Management Review    2024, 36 (10): 272-288.  
    Abstract216)      PDF (15170KB)(61)      
    Developing digital resilience requires companies to clarify the matching conditions between digital resources and non-digital resources, and redeploy organizational resources. However, the matching patterns of digital and non-digital resources, and the pathways for building digital resilience in different matching conditions remain unclear. Based on the dynamic resource perspective, this study adopts the multi-case study method to systematically identify four matching conditions of digital resources and non-digital resources, as well as four patterns of digital resilience construction, i.e., progressive activation, native agility, leveraging to make up, and technological upgrading. This study reveals the resource actions in the four matching conditions of digital resources and non-digital resources. The study further develops the theoretical research on digital resilience construction, and provides reference for companies to choose the appropriate pathway in building digital resilience.

    The Double-edged Effect of Perceived Algorithmic Control on Work Engagement of Gig Workers
    Luo Jinlian, Zhang Chao, Zhao Chenfang, Zhong Jing
    Management Review    2025, 37 (2): 175-186.  
    Abstract214)      PDF (11005KB)(147)      
    Based on conservation of resources theory and social identity theory, this paper builds a model to explore the mechanism of how perceived algorithm control affects the level of gig workers’ work engagement. By analyzing and testing 385 valid empirical data collected from takeout riders, online ride-hailing drivers and instant delivery workers, this paper examines the “double-edged sword” effect of perceived algorithmic control on the work engagement of gig workers. The results indicate that perceived algorithmic control has a “double-edged sword” effect on the work engagement of gig workers, perceived algorithmic control may, on the one hand, improve the role clarity of gig workers and, on the other hand, lower work engagement by causing a loss of work autonomy. Furthermore, perceived algorithmic procedure fairness may also strengthen the ability of perceived algorithmic control to improve gig workers’ work engagement through role clarity and mitigate its ability to weaken their work engagement through job autonomy, i.e., the higher the perceived algorithmic procedure fairness is, the better able perceived algorithmic control is to facilitate gig workers’ work engagement by increasing their role clarity, while the lower the perceived algorithmic procedure fairness is, the more likely perceived algorithmic control is to dampen gig workers’ work engagement by diminishing their job autonomy.

    The Evolution Mechanism of Value Co-creation between Digital Platform and Cluster Enterprises
    Wang Jiexiang, Heng Yujing, Hu Qiantao, Zhang Yongqiang
    Management Review    2024, 36 (11): 274-288.  
    Abstract211)      PDF (1823KB)(201)      
    Digital platform is an important infrastructure underlying the digital transformation of cluster enterprises, and its construction requires the deep participation of cluster enterprises. However, previous researches study platform construction mainly from a unilateral perspective, making it difficult to reveal the co-creative mechanism between the digital platform and cluster enterprises under the new situation of industrial digital transformation. In order to reveal the evolution mechanism of the value co-creation between the digital platform and the cluster enterprises, this paper analyzes the case of Bincube, an enterprise based on the mold industry cluster in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, which collaborates with cluster enterprises to build a digital platform and promote industrial digital transformation. This study finds that the value co-creation between digital platform and cluster enterprises covers the processes of “single-point breakthrough”, “vertical depth” and “horizontal extension”. In the “single-point breakthrough” stage, “knowledge coupling” is promoted through “bilateral co-creation concept recognition, user introduction of digital technology, and platform deconstruction of business experience”; in the “vertical depth” stage, “module decoupling” is promoted through “value-compatible conceptual recognition, user feedback on diverse propositions, and platform extraction of common needs”; in the “horizontal extension” stage, “loose coupling of systems” is promoted through “ecological expansion of conceptual identity, user demand traction complementary, platform to stimulate complementary innovation”, thus gradually leading to the value creation evolution of “personalized solution-industry replicable solution-cross-industry overall solution”. This study introduces a value co-creation perspective, contributes to the study of digital platform building strategies in the industrial sector, and extends the mechanisms of value co-creationbetween organisations.

    Dual Value Creation in Hybrid Social Organizations: A Longitudinal Case Study of the Interactive Process between Institutional Logics and Resource Management
    Yin Juelin, Liu Yuhuan, Hu Youxin, Yang Xinyu
    Management Review    2024, 36 (10): 260-271.  
    Abstract209)      PDF (15545KB)(45)      
    Based on a dual theoretical perspective of resource orchestration and institutional logics, this paper presents a longitudinal single case study on the value creation mechanism of a hybrid social organization. It demonstrates how the organization responds to multiple institutional logics in order to create both social and economic values through resource orchestration at different stages. The main findings are as follows: (1) The hybridity of institutional logics is the key factor that drives hybrid social organizations to adopt different resource management practices; (2) The managerial cognition of organizational goals, as well as the cognition of how to achieve them, serves as the intermediate mechanism in the interaction between institutional logics and resource management. This implies that institutional logics influence organizational resource management practices by shaping managers’ cognition; (3) As organizational resource management practices advance, the hybridity of institutional logics evolves and promotes the renewal of managerial cognition and subsequent resource management, leading to dynamic adjustments in the value creation pattern. By constructing a dynamically evolving model of “institutional logics-resource management-value creation,” this paper not only contributes to a deeper understanding of institutional logic theory and resource orchestration theory in the context of hybrid organizations, but also provides valuable suggestions for hybrid social organizations to achieve sustainable value creation.

    Wu Chunlin, Zhao Tianyue, Cao Xin, Ouyang Taohua
    Management Review    2025, 37 (1): 273-288.  
    Abstract205)      PDF (1960KB)(147)      
    The new generation of information technology has brought new opportunities for disruptive innovation. In the fiercely competitive market scenario, startups can gain mainstream market share and achieve rapid advancement through disruptive innovation. This paper conducts a vertical case study on Tiying Media, a startup company, to explore the evolutionary process and underlying mechanisms of disruptive innovation achieved through dynamic marketing capabilities empowered by digitalization. The findings are as follows. Firstly, compared to traditional disruptive innovation, in the context of digitalization, disruptive innovation in startups has leading, sharing, and leapfrogging characteristics in terms of innovation motivation, innovation process, and innovation results, and is an advanced extension of traditional disruptive innovation. Secondly, startups utilize digital resources to empower dynamic marketing capabilities, forming an integrated framework of “data absorption - data collaboration - data transformation”. Through the dynamic alignment of internal capabilities and external demands, startups drive continuous disruptive innovation. Thirdly, startups leverage digital resources to establish technological chains, business platforms, and value ecosystems, facilitating exponential growth and leading the digital transformation of the whole industry, thus achieving comprehensive and multidimensional disruptive innovation. This paper constructs a dynamic process model for achieving disruptive innovation in startups within a digital context. It not only addresses the limitations of traditional innovation theories in the era of the digital economy but also holds significant practical value for startups in seizing opportunities for digital transformation and upgrading, thereby facilitating latecomer advantages and contributing to the strategic goal of realizing “Digital China”.
