Abstract: In the digital economy, corporate entrepreneurship has become an important way for large enterprises to explore new opportunities and build new advantages, which has strategic significance for high-quality development in the new development era. However, most large enterprises in China do not carry out corporate entrepreneurship smoothly and have low entrepreneurial activity. Therefore, how to stimulate corporate entrepreneurship of large enterprises in the digital economy to achieve high-quality development has become an important issue. Based on the perspective of organization-environment interaction, this study constructs a theoretical framework of corporate entrepreneurship in the digital economy, and conducts a configuration analysis of 49 large Chinese enterprises using the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method. The results show that: (1) there are three matching modes for high-level corporate entrepreneurship in the digital economy, including “resource-capability autonomy”, “resource-government complementarity”, and “organization-environment synergy”; (2) Under certain combinations, organizational and environmental conditions can promote high levels of corporate entrepreneurship through complementary combination or equivalent substitution. As a key condition, digital resource endowment plays a more universal role in the process; (3) State-owned enterprises and private enterprises have exclusive paths to high-level corporate entrepreneurship. State-owned enterprises tend to prefer the “government driven-capability supported” model, while private enterprises focus on developing the “capability led-internal oriented” model. The theoretical contributions highlight as follows: (1) we construct a theoretical framework of corporate entrepreneurship in the digital economy, reveal the synergistic driving mechanism of organizational and environmental conditions integrating digital elements on corporate entrepreneurship in large enterprises, and promote the research on the antecedents of corporate entrepreneurship in the digital context; (2) we identify the complementary matching effect between digital resources and digital capabilities, reveal the path mechanism of their orchestration linkage leading to high-level corporate entrepreneurship, and expand the application of resource orchestration theory in corporate entrepreneurship research; (3) we refine the exclusive configurations of high-level corporate entrepreneurship in state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, reveal the heterogeneity and complexity of the driving mechanism of corporate entrepreneurship, and deepen the applicable boundaries of different paths of corporate entrepreneurship.

摘要： 数字经济时代公司创业已成为大型企业探索新机会并构建新优势的重要引擎，对于新发展格局下企业实现高质量发展具有战略意义。基于组织-环境交互视角，整合构建出数字经济时代公司创业理论框架，并运用模糊集定性比较分析对49家中国大型企业的案例样本进行组态分析。研究发现：数字经济时代高水平公司创业存在“资源-能力自主驱动型”、“资源-政府互补驱动型”和“组织-环境协同驱动型”三种匹配模式；特定组合下组织与环境条件可通过互补结合与等效替代，以“殊途同归”的方式促进高水平公司创业，其中数字资源禀赋作为关键条件发挥较为普适的作用；国有企业与民营企业在高水平公司创业中各存在专有性路径，国有企业倾向“政府助推-能力支持型”创业模式，而民营企业则侧重“能力主导-内部导向型”创业模式。研究结论有助于系统阐释数字经济时代大型企业公司创业的复杂因果机制，拓展公司创业理论研究，赋能企业高质量发展。
