Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of R&D investment and digital technology in enhancing ambidextrous innovation capability within equipment manufacturing enterprises in the digital economy. Focusing on both explorative and exploitative innovation, the research investigates how R&D funding and personnel drive knowledge creation and transformation into practical applications. Furthermore, digital technology, analyzed through its dimensions of data analysis, connectivity and production, is shown to optimize resource allocation, streamline operations, and promote intelligent manufacturing. Key findings indicate that adequate R&D funding and skilled personnel amplify explorative and exploitative innovation by balancing resource allocation and reducing risks. Simultaneously, digital technology shortens R&D cycles and fosters collaborative innovation with suppliers and customers, thereby broadening the boundaries of innovation. These insights highlight the need for strategic investments in R&D and digital technology to address complex market challenges, achieve sustainable growth, and enhance competitiveness. This study provides a theoretical framework and actionable implications for advancing innovation strategies under the digital economy.
