Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has changed the traditional innovation model, and digital innovation has become a hot issue in the context of digitalization. This paper first summarizes the conceptual connotation and characteristics of digital innovation through the overall overview of digital innovation research. Secondly, the antecedents and consequences of digital innovation are discussed from the environmental and organizational levels, and an integrated research framework of digital innovation is constructed according to the paradigm of "influencing factors-influencing effects". Finally, combined with the gaps and deficiencies in the current research on digital innovation, this paper proposes that the research on digital innovation in three aspects: object, method and content should be improved in the future. This paper provides ideas and references for subsequent research on digital innovation.
