Research on the influence mechanism of "intelligence +" on the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises

    Intelligent manufacturing is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. "Intelligence+" empowers manufacturing enterprises to transform and upgrade, and promotes the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. In recent years, driven by the new generation of information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data, artificial intelligence has demonstrated human-machine collaboration and cross-border integration. It has gradually penetrated into related industries, causing manufacturing processes and business models. The reshaping of business and business formats has promoted the intelligent development of manufacturing enterprises. With the emphasis on artificial intelligence from all walks of life, more and more scholars have studied the impact and importance of intelligence on the development of manufacturing companies from multiple perspectives. From the perspective of production, the intelligent performance of manufacturing enterprises is to enable artificial intelligence to be used in production systems, to make the configuration of production factors more flexible, and to improve enterprise productivity and employee labor productivity. From a product perspective, the intelligent development of manufacturing enterprises in order to increase the scientific and technological content of the product, the rate of defective products has been greatly reduced, and the product quality has been improved. At the same time, the variety and personalization of product types have been achieved, and the purpose of value added has been achieved. From a service perspective, the intelligence of manufacturing enterprises is supported by artificial intelligence technology. Through artificial intelligence, the enterprise′s ability to store and analyze historical data is enhanced, enabling enterprises to provide customers with more proactive and real-time full-lifecycle services.     However, the impact of "intelligence+" on China′s innovation subject, corporate innovation behavior, is rarely mentioned. The innovation behavior of manufacturing enterprises, as the core driving force and main source of maintaining the competitive advantages of manufacturing enterprises, will bring innovation gains to enterprises and transform them into innovation performance. It is of great significance to promote the high-quality development of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, and deserves our attention.      From the perspective of "intelligence+", this study integrates "intelligence +", integrated innovation, environmental dynamics, and innovation performance into a theoretical framework, and analyzes in depth the relationship between "intelligence+" and the innovation performance of manufacturing companies, and "intelligence+", the interrelationship between innovations, and the adjustment of environmental dynamics between "intelligence+" and innovation performance, and "intelligence+" and integrated innovation. By analyzing the relationship between "intelligence+", integrated innovation, environmental dynamics and innovation performance, a model of the mechanism of "intelligence+" on the innovation performance of manufacturing companies was established, and the mechanism of "intelligence+" on the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises was explored.    An empirical test was conducted through questionnaire data. The sample of this study is mainly taken from manufacturing enterprises in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shandong and other places where domestic manufacturing is relatively developed. At the same time, considering the regional balance, central regions such as Heilongjiang, Jilin, and western regions such as Ningxia and Gansu were also selected. The regional manufacturing enterprises selected a total of 16 eastern, central and western provinces for a large sample survey. Data collection has gone through the steps of questionnaire design, pre-investigation, and formal investigation.    Based on an in-depth analysis of artificial intelligence theory and innovation theory, combined with the objective reality of manufacturing enterprises, this paper constructs a model of the impact mechanism of "intelligence+" on integrated innovation as an intermediate variable and environmental dynamics as a regulating variable on the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises. Manufacturing enterprises in 16 provinces and cities in the east, central, and west were selected as survey objects, and the impact mechanism model was tested using 308 valid questionnaire data collected.     The research results show that: (1) On the premise of maintaining other factors unchanged, "intelligence+" can U-shape the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises, that is, with the increase of the intelligence level of manufacturing enterprises, the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises will first decline after rising phenomenon. (2) Integrated innovation plays an intermediary role between "intelligence+" and innovation performance. Among them, "intelligence+" can U-shape the integrated innovation of manufacturing enterprises, and integrated innovation can positively affect innovation performance. (3) Environmental dynamics can positively regulate the relationship between "intelligence+" and integrated innovation, and "intelligence+" and innovation performance. When in a highly dynamic environment, the effect of "intelligence+" on integrated innovation and innovation performance is significantly enhanced.     This paper analyzes the relationship between "intelligence +", integrated innovation, environmental dynamics, and innovation performance. The research conclusions have certain reference significance for the development of Chinese manufacturing enterprises towards intelligent manufacturing. First, because "intelligence+" affects the innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises in a U-shaped relationship, when manufacturing enterprises implement intelligent transformation, they can effectively promote the improvement of innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises when their intelligence level reaches a certain level. Due to the large differences in the level of intelligence of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, each enterprise should reasonably arrange the timing and progress of intelligence based on its actual situation. Second, integrated innovation has an intermediary role between "intelligence+" and innovation performance, and "intelligence+" affects the integrated innovation of manufacturing enterprises in a U-shaped relationship.      The research results provide new ideas for companies to improve innovation performance. While promoting the improvement of innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises through "intelligence +", manufacturing enterprises can also promote the improvement of innovation performance by digging to realize integrated innovation of enterprises. Third, the dynamic nature of the environment has a positive regulatory role between "intelligence+" and integrated innovation, and "intelligence+" and innovation performance indicate that manufacturing companies should pay full attention to changes in the external environment in the process of intelligent development and closely pay attention to the adjustment of market demand and policies, and use environmental dynamics to fully promote the improvement of innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises.
