Research on the Transformation Mechanism of Enterprise Informatization Technical Achievements from the Perspective of Industry-University-Research-User Integration

Abstract

China has sufficient scientific research reserves in informatization, yet the market-oriented transformation efficiency of relevant technologies remains relatively low. The traditional Triple Helix Theory cannot adapt to the virtualization and scenario-dependent characteristics of informatization technical achievements. Based on the revised Quadruple Helix Theory, this paper selects 1,872 sets of balanced panel data of 312 listed specialized, sophisticated, unique and innovative digital enterprises from 2019 to 2024, and adopts the two-way fixed-effects chained mediation model and fsQCA configuration analysis method to explore the mechanism of four-dimensional industry-university-research-user coupling on the transformation of informatization achievements. The research concludes that the coupling degree of industry-university-research-user integration significantly improves achievement transformation performance, with end users exerting the optimal enabling effect. Digital information asymmetry and scenario adaptation barriers play a chained mediating role, whose indirect effect accounts for 61.29%. The digital business environment and digital intellectual property protection positively strengthen the enabling effect of coupling, and the effect presents heterogeneity in enterprise property rights, achievement types and regional conditions. There are four collaborative configurations for efficient achievement transformation, and insufficient user participation and inadequate cross-subject data trust are the core inducements of failed transformation. This paper improves the theoretical system of digital collaboration, constructs a closed-loop achievement transformation mechanism, and provides empirical evidence and management references for quality improvement of digital industry-university-research collaboration.
