Abstract: Innovation serves as the core driving force for national development, and its strategic significance has reached an unprecedented level. Accelerating the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry is essential for achieving high-quality development. Through digital transformation, the manufacturing sector can enhance its ambidextrous innovation performance. This study examines A-share listed manufacturing enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2023. Drawing on organizational ambidexterity theory and dynamic capability theory, it investigates the impact of digital transformation on the ambidextrous innovation performance of the manufacturing industry. The results indicate that digital transformation promotes improvements in ambidextrous innovation performance, with a more pronounced effect on incremental innovation. Digital transformation positively influences ambidextrous innovation performance by increasing R&D investment intensity. Human capital quality partially mediates the positive effect of digital transformation on radical innovation performance, although it does not mediate its impact on incremental innovation performance. Additionally, organizational resilience positively moderates the effect of digital transformation on ambidextrous innovation performance. The study further finds that the positive impact of digital transformation on radical innovation performance is stronger in state-owned manufacturing enterprises, while its effect on incremental innovation performance is more significant in non-high-tech enterprises and manufacturing firms with centralized decision-making structures.
