With the tendency toward economic and strategy decoupling between China and the United States and amidst the anti-globalization trend, enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In this study, we reveal how the agile intuition (AI) of top managers with respect to the external environment affects enterprise innovation behavior (IB) based on the cognition-behavior framework. Strategic learning (SL) is considered a moderator, and knowledge sharing (KS) is considered a mediator. The survey sample consists of 305 managers from 47 enterprises in China during the COVID-19 period. The empirical results show that top management agile intuition significantly promotes enterprise IB; knowledge sharing (KS) partially mediates the relationship between top manager AI and enterprise IB; and SL suppresses the promotion effect of top manager AI on enterprise IB to a certain extent, hindering blind innovation. In a surprising result, we find that strategic guidance by an external consultant does not significantly affect the enterprise IB in China.
随着中美经济和战略脱钩的趋势以及反全球化趋势，企业正面临前所未有的挑战和机遇。在这项研究中，我们根据认知-行为框架揭示了高层管理者对外部环境的敏捷直觉（AI）如何影响企业创新行为（IB）。战略学习（SL）被视为调节变量，知识共享（KS）被视为中介变量。调查样本包括 COVID-19 期间来自中国 47 家企业的 305 名经理。实证结果表明，高层管理敏捷直觉显著促进了企业 IB；知识共享（KS）部分中介了高层管理者 AI 与企业 IB 的关系；并且 SL 在一定程度上抑制了高层管理者 AI 对企业 IB 的促进作用，阻碍了盲目创新。令人惊讶的是，我们发现外部顾问的战略指导在中国并没有显著影响企业的 IB。
