Nonlinear relationship between innovation input and intelligent manufacturing from an absorptive capacity perspective.

ABSTRACT: Intelligent manufacturing is a research focus in the academic circle, but its driving mechanism needs to be improved. This study aims to explore the impact of innovation input on intelligent manufacturing and its internal mechanism based on the theory of absorptive capacity. The study adopts the data of listed manufacturing companies in China from 2008 to 2022 to empirically examine the relationship between innovation input and intelligent manufacturing, and analyzes the moderating mechanisms of digital transformation, property rights nature, and organizational redundancy on the above relationship, as well as the mediating role of dynamic capabilities. The results show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between innovation input and intelligent manufacturing. Digital transforma
