Abstract

This paper explores the development path, key influencing factors and future trends of technology-driven enterprises in innovation management, in order to reveal how they can achieve competitive advantages through effective innovation management in the context of technological change. Research shows that the innovation management of such enterprises presents significant stage characteristics. From early exploration to later product development, the optimal allocation of resources and strict screening mechanisms throughout multiple stages have improved the success rate of innovation. In addition, the management models adopted in different stages are flexible and diverse, including both agile management of fuzzy front-ends and process control in mature stages. The key factors affecting innovation management mainly include technology research and development capabilities, organizational culture, market demand and policy environment. Digitalization and intelligence have further optimized the innovation process, enabling enterprises to respond to market demand more quickly. With the widespread application of open innovation and cross-departmental collaboration, innovation management has gradually developed in an open, collaborative and sustainable direction, contributing key forces to the long-term competitiveness and social value of technology-driven enterprises.
