Direct Impact on Internationalization
3.060 DICD Impact on Internationalization (p<0.01)Digital-Intelligent Coupling Coordination (DICD) significantly enhances overseas revenue, underscoring the power of integrated digital and AI capabilities beyond individual effects.
Enterprise Process Flow
Green technology innovation acts as a crucial mediator. Digital-intelligent synergy fosters green R&D, which in turn facilitates market entry and global expansion.
Investor Stability: A Critical Amplifier
| Moderating Effect | Without Investor Stability | With Investor Stability |
|---|---|---|
| DIS -> Internationalization | Significant (p<0.01) | Stronger Effect (Interaction significant, p<0.01) |
Stable investors provide 'patient capital' and risk mitigation, amplifying the direct positive effect of digital-intelligent synergy on internationalization. |
||
| DIS -> Green Innovation | Significant (p<0.01) | Stronger Effect for Substantive Innovation (Interaction significant, p<0.01) |
Investor stability provides financial support for long R&D cycles, enhancing the conversion of digital-intelligent synergy into substantive green innovation outcomes. Effect is asymmetric for strategic vs. substantive innovation. |
||
| Green Innovation -> Internationalization | Significant (p<0.01) | No Significant Moderation |
The link from green innovation to internationalization is driven more by strategic planning and core capabilities, with investor stability playing a less direct moderating role in this specific pathway. |

Self-use Data Assets vs. Transactional Data Assets
Scenario: Self-use data assets (SDAs) are critical drivers of internationalization, deeply integrated into internal operations. Transactional data assets (TDAs) show no significant impact at the current exploratory stage in China.
Key Lesson: Focus on internal data infrastructure development and strategic integration of data assets, as their direct operational impact is paramount for overseas expansion.
