Abstract

Disruptive innovation has gradually become an important strategic choice for latecomer enterprises. Based on dynamic capability theory, this study explores the influence mechanism of marketing ability, from outside-in and inside-out strategic orientations, on disruptive innovation, and constructs a research model of marketing ability that influences disruptive innovation through organizational agility as an intermediary, and further analyzes the moderating role of cognitive legitimacy in latecomer enterprises. Empirical test data derived from 191 SMEs in science and technology innovation. The results show that outside-in marketing ability has a significant positive impact on organizational agility, while inside-out marketing ability has an inverted U-shaped effect. Organizational Agility plays a partial mediating role between outside-in, inside-out marketing ability and disruptive innovation. Cognitive legitimacy positively moderates the relationship between outside-in marketing ability and organizational agility.
