Empirical analysis shows that policy mixes affect innovation quantity and quality, suggesting variations based on market competition and enterprise size.
Based on the stimulus–response model of the complex adaptive systems theory, this study empirically analyses from the perspective of innovation quantity and quality the impact of policy mixes on enterprise innovation. The article considers policies regarding government subsidies, tax incentives and government procurement as factors of this impact. Findings have shown that policy mixes have incentive effects on both innovation quantity and quality and that these impacts vary according to enterprise size, market competition and economic fluctuations. Both independent and cooperative research and development (R&D) investments serve as mediating factors in the relationship between policy mixes and innovation. This article provides micro-level evidence for understanding the effectiveness of policy mix implementation.
