Abstract

To address the problem of inconsistent empirical results in the literature on factors influencing corporate innovation, this paper uses meta-analysis to analyze 60 empirical research papers with 17,911 independent samples. It was found that a total of 12 factors significantly affect firm innovation, with trust having the highest degree of influence and structural hole having the lowest degree of influence. It was also found that industry type, location factor and performance type have moderating effects on corporate innovation and its influencing factors. This paper sorts out the influencing factors of corporate innovation, which to a certain extent solves the problem of inconsistent findings in related studies and provides some reference for the subsequent innovation activities of enterprises.
