Application of Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis on Enterprise Asset Allocation, Organizational Ambidexterity and Innovation Performance

The fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is based on a realistic assumption that “variables in the system are interacting and interdependent”, and is suitable for studying complex issues. Based on the data of listed companies in the electronic components manufacturing industry on GEM, the study uses a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and adds a time axis to discuss the impact of complementary assets and organizational ambidexterity and their combination on enterprise innovation performance. The results show that the balance dimension of ambidexterity (BD) and the combined dimension of ambidexterity (CD) can achieve high innovation performance all through a certain path, but the implementation scenarios are different. To be specific, the balance dimension of ambidexterity appears more frequently in SMEs, which needs to allocate abundant market complementary assets and human complementary assets. The combined dimension of ambidexterity appears more frequently in large enterprises and has higher requirements on enterprises, which not only need abundant complementary assets of market and human resources, but also need abundant manufacturing complementary assets.
