Abstract: This study focuses on exploring the dynamic acquisition of organizational legitimacy in multinational corporations through innovation networks based on standard competition and cooperation. A vertical single case study was conducted on Huawei Technology Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the new generation of information technology industry, to explore the internal and dynamic mechanisms of obtaining the legitimacy of innovative networks based on standard competition and cooperation. Research has found that, The innovation network model based on standard competition and cooperation constructed by multinational enterprises at different stages of standard internationalization is triggered by the institutional logic of "professional logic, market logic, community logic, and national logic" of the focus legitimacy evaluator, presenting "utilization standard competitive-cooperative innovation network—exploratory standard competitive-cooperative innovation network—dominant standard competitive-cooperative innovation network—autonomous and controllable standard competitive-cooperative innovation network" . The utilization standard competitive-cooperative innovation network constructed by Huawei in stages based on standard competition and cooperation, as well as the formed standard tracking capability and network orchestration capability obtained from network resource assessment, are the internal mechanisms for multinational enterprises to dynamically obtain regulatory legitimacy. The exploratory standard competitive-cooperative innovation network based on standard competition and cooperation built by Huawei, as well as the capability to integrate standards, arrange network resources for migration, and lead cooperation, are the internal mechanisms for multinational enterprises to dynamically obtain normative legitimacy. The dominant standard competitive-cooperative innovation network built by Huawei based on standard competition and cooperation and the formed standard dominant capability, network orchestration capability obtained from network innovation resource exclusive, and competition dominant competition and cooperation capability are the internal mechanisms for multinational enterprises to dynamically obtain cognitive legitimacy. The autonomous and controllable standard competitive-cooperative innovation network built by Huawei based on standard competition and cooperation and the formed standard independent and controllable capability, stable network arrangement capability, and balanced competition and cooperation capability are the internal mechanisms for multinational enterprises to dynamically obtain new legitimacy after transition. The core competency level and integration depth formed by innovation networks based on standard competition and cooperation in different modes are dynamic mechanisms that cross legitimacy thresholds. The two low-level core competencies formed during the 1G and 2G periods are dynamic mechanisms for breaking through regulatory legitimacy thresholds in the early stages of standard internationalization. During the 3G era, three types of mid-level core competencies were formed, and the low degree of integration of capabilities was a dynamic mechanism that broke through the threshold of normative legitimacy. The three high-order core competencies formed before 4G and 5G present a dynamic mechanism of moderate integration of capabilities that breaks through the threshold of cognitive legitimacy. The three high-order core competencies formed in the post 5G era exhibit a highly integrated capability, which is a dynamic mechanism for breaking through the new legitimacy threshold after the transition. This study analyzes the process mechanism of multi-stage legitimacy dynamic acquisition and threshold crossing under the background of standard internationalization, providing important insights for the new generation of information technology industry multinational enterprises to use innovation networks based on standard competition and cooperation as legitimacy acquisition strategies.

摘要： 研究以新一代信息技术产业领军企业华为技术有限公司为例，探究基于标准竞合的创新网络合法性获取的内在机理和动态机制。研究发现，跨国企业在标准国际化不同阶段构建的基于标准竞合的创新网络模式在焦点合法性评估者制度逻辑触发下呈现“利用型—探索型—主导型—自主可控型”的阶段性演化。阶段性构建的上述网络及形成的标准化能力、竞合能力和网络编排能力是跨国企业动态获取合法性的内在机理。形成上述核心能力水平及能力整合深度是跨越合法性阈值的动态机制。研究解析了标准国际化背景下合法性动态获取及阈值跨越的过程机理，为新一代信息技术跨国企业合法性获取提供重要启示。
