Artificial intelligence usage, breakthrough innovation, and innovation performance in high-tech enterprises: the nonlinear moderating role of Not-Invented-Here Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with frontier technologies such as large language models and quantum computing has significantly enhanced enterprises' potential for breakthrough innovation, becoming a critical driver of innovation performance. However, the internal mechanisms and boundary conditions through which AI influences innovation performance via breakthrough innovation remain unclear, requiring further exploration to deepen our understanding of AI's crucial role in organizational innovation. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV), this study systematically investigates the impact of AI use on innovation performance, emphasizing the mediating role of breakthrough innovation and the moderating effect of Not-Invented-Here Syndrome (NIHS). Data were collected from 355
