Mining Braces of Innovation Linking to Digital Transformation Grounded in TOE Framework

How firms drive innovation in digital transformation remains largely unanswered and this article is an attempt that direction to deconstruct the of small medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs) realizability condition evolve body knowledge. We developed a TOE framework based on theory investigate impact configuration effect technology, organization environment regarding characteristic firm’s innovation. performed fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) survey data collected from 141 SMMEs China examine paths formed by different conditions. The results reveal success practice not driven single factor, but result multiple factors’ combined interaction, which four sets high realization could be further summarized as “total factor driven”, “technology-environment oriented”, “organization-technology “organization oriented-environment”. These findings make sound theoretical practical contributions usage domain developing Bringing SMMEs’ enlightenment innovation, integral, systematic engineering, despite technology itself being primary role whole process, more important organization’s agile strategy positioning, well making full use advantages current for companies, thus better promoting emergence deepening
