The current economic environment is characterized by increasing uncertainty, while digitalization has led to profound transformations in both the economy and society. There is a pressing need to conduct an in-depth investigation into the specific effects of cross-organizational cooperation on firms' innovation resilience (FIR) in the digital era, as well as the underlying mechanisms driving these effects. This study utilizes panel data encompassing 30 Chinese provinces and municipalities, intending to analyze the impact of market-based and science-based cross-organizational cooperation on FIR and explore the heterogeneity of this impact. Moreover, the study examines the mediating and moderating mechanisms that influence the relationship between cross-organizational cooperation and FIR. The findings indicate that both market-based cooperation, including cooperation with suppliers (CS) and cooperation with customers (CC), and science-based industry-university-research cooperation (IURC) significantly enhance FIR, with science-based IURC demonstrating the most pronounced effect. Additionally, it is revealed that the impact of market-based and science-based cross-organizational cooperation exhibits spatial heterogeneity in promoting FIR. Market-based and science-based cross-organizational cooperation effectively improves enterprise liquidity, enhances operational efficiency, and consequently enhances innovation resilience (IR). Moreover, the positive impact of cross-organizational cooperation on FIR is amplified by increasing the degree of digital transformation and digital technological innovation.
当前的经济环境具有不确定性不断增加的特点，而数字化已在经济和社会领域引发了深刻变革。迫切需要深入研究跨组织合作在数字时代对企业创新韧性（FIR）的具体影响，以及驱动这些影响的潜在机制。本研究利用涵盖中国30个省和直辖市的面板数据，旨在分析基于市场和基于科学的跨组织合作对FIR的影响，并探讨这种影响的异质性。此外，该研究还考察了影响跨组织合作与FIR之间关系的中介和调节机制。研究结果表明，包括与供应商合作（CS）和与客户合作（CC）在内的基于市场的合作以及基于科学的产学研合作（IURC）均能显著提高FIR，其中基于科学的IURC效果最为显著。此外，研究还发现，基于市场和基于科学的跨组织合作在促进FIR方面呈现出空间异质性。基于市场和基于科学的跨组织合作有效地改善了企业流动性，提高了运营效率，进而增强了创新韧性（IR）。此外，跨组织合作对FIR的积极影响会随着数字转型程度和数字技术创新的提高而放大。
