Abstract Digital technology has a differentiated impact on organizational collaborative innovation activities and the digital business environment, thereby reshaping the formation mechanism and practice path of corporate innovation effects. Under the influence of multiple factors such as digital popularization, industrial upgrading and technological progress, the independent innovation of enterprises can no longer meet the development needs of the current stage,and it is necessary to coordinate innovative resources and complementary assets among the government, society and market. Existing Chinese practice and theoretical research show that the collaborative innovation of enterprises with the influence of digital technology is a relatively complex process which will be affected by the application contexts of digital technology, the interests and needs of multiple subjects, and the digital ecological environment of enterprises. The current research lacks empirical exploration of sample cases, and the marginal contribution of related theories needs to be further improved. At the same time, there is no in-depth discussion on the synergy mechanism and innovation path, and there is a lack of analysis of its core elements and conditional configuration, and the complex interactive relationship between multiple elements in the process of innovation effect cannot be explained systematically. In view of the above deficiencies, this paper proposes the following three closely related questions: (1) How can digital technology be applied to make changes in enterprise innovation? (2) From the perspective of synergy, what are the influencing factors for enterprises to enhance the innovation effect? (3) What are the feasible paths for enterprises to collaborate with multiple subjects to achieve innovation?On the basis of the above research questions, this research focuses on the supporting role of digital technology on enterprise innovation performance and the enabling role of enterprise innovation efficiency to reveal the quality of enterprise collaborative innovation and the vitality of enterprise digital innovation. Further, with the penetration of digital technology, enterprise innovation not only requires organizational resource endowment as the basis for the application of digital technology, but also requires strong support from the external environment including the society and industry, so as to promote enterprise innovation in the process of internal and external collaboration effective value. At the same time, it is hard to obtain a more universal and targeted implementation path by just exploring the impact of variables on enterprise innovation from specific digital technology application context. Therefore, this study explores the innovation mechanism and formation path of enterprises in the context of digital technology application from the triple conditions of technology, organization and environment.#br#On the basis ofthe theoretical and practical foundation of collaborative innovation development in China, this study takes digital-intensive companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies as samples, uses fs QCA to analyze the conditional configuration, and explores the collaborative mechanism and realization path of enterprise innovation through the TOE framework of technology application scenarios. The research results show that in the process of collaborative innovation, digital technology mainly affects the interaction mode between enterprises and multiple agents, and it can be divided into collaborative spontaneous mode and collaborative response mode. These two modes can clearly reflect how the enterprises uses digital technology with collaborative innovation behavior characteristics and coping strategies for digital business environment change. Moreover the high-level innovation effect of an enterprise needs to be composed of technology, organization, and environmental conditions. Through the configuration matching, four paths for realizing the high-level enterprise innovation effect have been explored. The talent-driven type is mainly composed of high-level talents, organizational heterogeneity, digital technology research and development investment, regional economic development level and industry competition strength; the culture-led type is composed of variables such as organizational openness, digital technology R&D investment, government attention allocation, regional economic development level and industry competition intensity; the demand-driven type is composed of variables such as organizational agility, regional economic development level and digital technology R&D investment; the policy-driven type is composed of variables such as digital infrastructure, government attention allocation and regional economic development level. #br#To sum up, the high-level innovation effect of enterprises in the context of digital technology application is the result of the synergistic effect of multiple factors. The effective combination of various factors improves the innovation performance and innovation efficiency of enterprises in the same way, so that different types of enterprises can optimize the adaptive collaborative innovation path based on their own technical characteristics and resource endowments to activate the innovation vitality of enterprises and promote the sustainable development of the digital economy.#br#
