Abstract: The rapid development of digital technology has blurring industry boundaries, and the boundary-spanning innovation has become a common innovation mode for the rapid development of new ventures under circumstances of industrial transformation. The automotive industry is undergoing the intersection of the digital economy and the energy revolution. The knowledge system required by automobile enterprises has far exceeded the boundaries of the mechanical engineering disciplines, showing the characteristics of deep cross-integration between vehicles and knowledges from various other fields such as energy, computers, big data and so on. The mainly advantage of boundary-spanning innovation is rooted in the effective connection of cross-domain heterogeneous knowledge and capabilities of team members to generate new value based on a specific combination. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the characteristics of team combination in the context of boundary-spanning innovation. Scholars have explored the impact of single feature factors such as demographic characteristics, skills and experience, and cognitive diversity on team performance, while lack of holism and set theory perspectives to explore the interaction between numerous features and multiple concurrent causal relationships. Based on the imprinting theory, this paper adopts the research method of fsQCA, and takes 40 emerging automakers in China as research samples to explore the multiple concurrency causality and multiple realization paths that affect the entrepreneurial performance, and answer the question of what types of combinations of entrepreneurial team characteristics will enable firms to achieve high levels of entrepreneurial performance in new energy vehicle industry. The results show that the characteristics of a single entrepreneurial team of emerging automakers do not constitute a necessary condition for high entrepreneurial performance. There are three types of entrepreneurial team characteristics that can produce high entrepreneurial performance, namely heterogeneous team supported by the "automotive + finance" industry imprint, "strong heterogeneous-weak compound" team supported by the "automotive + ICT + finance" industry imprint, and composite team supported by the "automotive + service + finance" industry imprint. These three types of configuration of the anthems are different, but can make the emerging automakers produce high entrepreneurial performance, reflecting the high entrepreneurial performance of multiple ways to achieve. What is noteworthy is that, the automotive industry experience and financial industry experience appear as the core conditions in the three configurations. This paper also finds that three entrepreneurial team configurations lead to non-high entrepreneurial performance, all of which are caused by lack of high functional background heterogeneity and high experience in automotive manufacturing and business services industries. Based on the above research conclusions, this paper mainly proposes two suggestions. First, enterprises should consciously make adaptive adjustments to the combination of entrepreneurial teams. The entrepreneurial team should have the experience and ability of various industries required to boundary-spanning innovation, and improve the entrepreneurial performance through the combination of adaptive experience and ability. Second, enterprises should pay attention to identifying the core industry capabilities required for boundary-spanning innovation. Although boundary-spanning innovation breaks down the barriers between industries and promotes the recombination of cross-domain resources, it does not mean that all industry resources are equally important, and enterprises need to identify the key industry experience and capabilities required for their own development. This research sheds light on an imprtance issue in entrepreneurial team management, what kind of commbination of team members is good for new firms to develope high level performance in the circumstance of boundary-spanning innovation. The research conclusion provides decision reference and practical guidance for new firms on how to allocate entrepreneurial teams to improve entrepreneurial performance.

摘要： 数字技术的快速发展打破了产业边界，跨界创新成为产业变革下新创企业快速发展的一种常见模式。本文基于烙印理论，以40家造车新势力企业为研究对象，采用fsQCA 研究方法，探究何种创业团队特征组合能够产生高水平的创业绩效。研究结果表明：单一造车新势力创业团队特征并不构成产生高创业绩效的必要条件；有3种创业团队特征组态能够产生高创业绩效，分别为“汽车+金融”行业烙印支撑下的异质型团队、“汽车+ICT+金融”行业烙印支撑下的“强异质-弱复合”型团队、“汽车+服务+金融”行业烙印支撑下的复合型团队。本文也发现了3种创业团队组态会导致非高创业绩效，均是由于缺乏高职能背景异质性、高汽车制造和商务服务行业经验烙印导致。本文关注了创业团队配置的最新情境，拓展了创业团队特征对创业绩效的前因组态研究，丰富了创业团队先前经验分类维度,对指导跨界新创企业如何配置创业团队来提升创业绩效具有重要意义。
