Research on the Synergistic Mechanism of Strategic Innovation and Technological Progress —— An Empirical Analysis Based on the Organizational Performance of the Medical Industry

Abstract

This study systematically explores the theoretical framework and practical pathways of the synergy mechanism between strategic innovation and technological progress in the healthcare industry. The research finds that the strong regulatory nature, long R&D cycle, and multi-party participation of the healthcare industry give rise to a unique characteristic of "dynamic equilibrium under constraints" in its synergy mechanism. A theoretical model is constructed, encompassing three dimensions of strategic innovation (disruptive, open, ecological), three types of technological progress (breakthrough, incremental, integrative), and three levels of synergy mechanisms (element coupling, dynamic adaptation, value co-creation). Based on the theories of innovation ecosystems, technology tracks, and dual organizational capabilities, an analytical framework combining macro, meso, and micro perspectives is formed. The study also reveals coordination barriers faced by the healthcare industry, such as intellectual property barriers, policy lag, and coordination costs, providing a systematic solution to the "innovation island" dilemma.
