Digital technology has given the innovation subject a new way of value creation, expanded the existing innovation ecosystem theory, and triggered scholars’ in-depth thinking on the digital innovation ecosystem. Based on the event system theory and taking Haier’s hope platform as a vertical case study, this paper deeply explores the research mechanism of value creation of platform enterprises in the digital innovation ecosystem, and reveals the role and impact of digital innovation ability, openness, and business innovation model on the process of co-creation. The research results show that: in the open connection stage, the platform solves the problem of weakening the advantages of the platform, and improves the innovation efficiency of enterprises by continuously improving the digital innovation ability; in the interactive and iterative stage, the platform carries out open innovation, breaks through the difficulties of platform expansion, and realizes the benign expansion of the platform. In the co-creation stage, the user experience is blocked, and the platform adopts the platform community business model to connect the user relationship and improve the user experience. In the digital innovation ecosystem, platform enterprises gradually form self-organization and self-circulation value co-creation through internal self-construction and external cooperation, and form a data-driven co-creation model.

Changes in digital technology have brought about new opportunities in the field of financial poverty alleviation in China, and mobile payment as a new digital financial model is important in helping families to lift themselves out of poverty effectively and prevent a return to poverty. This paper examines the impact of mobile payment on household poverty vulnerability and the mechanism of action using the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) 2017 microsurvey data. After adopting the IVprobit model and a series of robustness tests, we found: (1) mobile payment significantly negatively impacts household poverty vulnerability; (2) the mechanism analysis indicates that promoting entrepreneurship and improving risk management capabilities are the main channels through which mobile payment mitigates household poverty vulnerability; (3) household entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial survival significantly reduce the probability of poverty vulnerability; and (4) the probit regression analysis explores how mobile payment has a greater negative impact on poverty vulnerability among low-income, homeless, and relatively backward households in rural or western areas. This work contributes to the literature on the use of electronic communication technology to eradicate poverty and on inclusive finance, providing vital results for other countries to use as an example.

With the booming of digital economy, digital transformation has become an important initiative for the high-quality development of enterprises, however, in the process of digital transformation, the innovation performance of most enterprises will be reduced, and employee innovation is the basis of enterprise innovation. How to improve employee innovation ability and guarantee the continuous innovation of the enterprise becomes the key issue. By conducting expert interviews and data crawling, the study uses Grounded theory and Gioia method to sort out the influencing factors of employee innovation behavior in digital transformation enterprises and use the interpretative structural model to analyze the complex relationships among the influencing factors, and establish a hierarchical structural model to organize and hierarchize them. The study shows that: leadership style, organizational innovation level, and organizational social responsibility are the fundamental influencing factors, emotions and personality traits are the direct influencing factors, and innovation expectations and innovation support feedback are important undertaking factors. The above findings provide theoretical guidance for companies to motivate employees to innovate and improve their innovation performance in the process of digital transformation.
