Making digital technology innovation happen: The role of the CEO's information technology backgrounds
Chief executive officers (CEOs) are the leaders of corporate innovation, but little is known about which types of CEOs are more conducive to digital technology innovation. Based on Chinese listed manufacturing companies from 2013 to 2020, we examine the effect of the information technology (IT) background of CEOs on digital technological innovation. The results show that CEOs' IT backgrounds significantly promote digital technology innovation. Curbing managerial myopia is the mechanism involved while strengthening digital sensemaking does not exist. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the facilitating role of CEOs' IT background is more pronounced when their power is more extensive, the company is nonstate-owned, mature, and large, and the region is highly marketized. Our findings contribute to the literature on the impact of executive characteristics on innovation and provide a reference for companies to promote digital technology innovation through the employment of specific CEOs.
期刊介绍：
Economic Modelling fills a major gap in the economics literature, providing a single source of both theoretical and applied papers on economic modelling. The journal prime objective is to provide an international review of the state-of-the-art in economic modelling. Economic Modelling publishes the complete versions of many large-scale models of industrially advanced economies which have been developed for policy analysis. Examples are the Bank of England Model and the US Federal Reserve Board Model which had hitherto been unpublished. As individual models are revised and updated, the journal publishes subsequent papers dealing with these revisions, so keeping its readers as up to date as possible.
