The Impact of Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Capability on Open Innovation Performance in the Context of Digital Transformation - From the Perspective of Knowledge Integration
Abstract
view and dynamic capability theory, this study constructs a theoretical model to examine how AI capability affects open innovation per
formance through knowledge integration (acquisition, sharing, and application). Using survey data from 328 high-tech firms and employing
quantitative analysis, the results show that: (1) AI capability positively influences open innovation performance; (2) AI capability enhances
all three dimensions of knowledge integration; (3) knowledge integration partially mediates this relationship; and (4) among the three dimen
sions, knowledge application exhibits the strongest mediating effect. The findings offer theoretical and practical implications for leveraging AI
in open innovation.
