Abstract:Based on the perspective of resource orchestration theory, the data of Chinese A-share “Specialized-Elaborative-Characteristic-Innovative” (SECI) listed companies are selected as the research samples, OLS regression method is used to analyze the effect of data elements on the innovation ability of SECI enterprises. The results show that data elements significantly improve the innovation ability of SECI enterprises and are differentiated across samples with different technological content and degree of market competition. The mechanism test finds that data elements can increase the degree of R D talent concentration, so that SECI enterprises have stronger incentives to improve their own innovation ability; data elements increase the operating costs of SECI enterprises in the short term, but play a significant role in promoting the innovation ability of SECI enterprises in the long term.
