Abstract: Purpose - To evaluate the level of digital innovation in the smart home industry. Design/methodology/approach - By employing bibliometric analysis and grounded theory, this study aims to assess the innovation capabilities of leading manufacturing enterprises and establish a digital innovation evaluation system for smart homes. Findings - Scientific arguments show that the cultivation of innovation capability should focus on three aspects of knowledge innovation, product innovation and technological innovation. Utilizing the four first-level indicators and 15 second-level indicators derived from the previous sections, we conducted TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) words frequency matching on the annual reports of A-share smart home listed companies. The resulting score for the company across these four primary indicators was then considered as the score for the digital innovation level indicator. Originality/value - The evaluation system includes first-level indicators such as technological innovation, production innovation, management innovation and sales innovation and second-level indicators such as digital technology, intelligent manufacturing, industrial Internet, green intelligent manufacturing, flexible robot production and cross-border integration, which provides smart home enterprises with a reference to understand the level of digital innovation, improve the deficiencies and promote the development of the smart home industry.
