The market competitiveness and sustainable operation of an enterprise are closely correlated with the support of high-tech core technologies in the enterprise. This study first discusses the basic knowledge of core competitiveness, introduces the components and evaluation methods of core competitiveness, and builds an evaluation index system for core competitiveness of high-tech enterprises. Then, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is fully discussed, during which the steps, advantages, and disadvantages of the AHP evaluation method are introduced. Finally, the Fujian Province of China is taken as an example, the relevant data are collected and processed, the impact of indicators are analyzed, and a high-tech industry core technological capability analysis indicator system is built based on the AHP method. Thus, the influence of the core technological capabilities of the high-tech industry on the sustainable competitive advantage of the enterprise is obtained. This study puts forward suggestions for maintaining the competitiveness of high-tech industries, thereby improving the competitive advantage of enterprises and achieving the sustainable management of enterprises. The result finds that if the high-tech industries continue to carry out innovation and scientific research, enterprises will maintain their competitive advantages. In summary, exploring the impact of the core technological capabilities of high-tech industries on the sustainable competitive advantages of enterprises is greatly significant for improving their competitiveness and industrial status, which enables them to be invincible in a complex environment.

“…Further analysis yielded only a handful of studies, which are presented in this monograph, focusing on systemic roles and containing more than one single case study and/or a single intermediary function/role, hence, giving insights relevant for systemic classification framework, which is the aim of this study. Finally, seven systemic reviews were identified as core to the analysis of past classifications (Dalziel 2010 ; Howells 2006 ; Kilelu et al 2011 ; Kim 2015 ; Kivimaa 2014 ; Lukkarinen et al 2018 ; Nilsson and Sia-Ljungström 2013 ).…”

“…Though many attempts at systematising the extensive empirical studies of intermediaries’ activities and roles were made (Dalziel 2010 ; Kilelu et al 2011 ; Kim 2015 ; Kivimaa 2014 ; Klerkx et al 2015 ; Lukkarinen et al 2018 ), feedback from both scholars and practitioners indicates a continued lack of clarity and operational applicability. While these studies all aimed to bring different approaches to the study and development of innovation intermediaries closer together, the dividing lines between intermediaries’ supply of resources versus engaging in direct activities, close involvement versus systemic provision and providing physical interventions versus deploying social capital were seldom crossed—as is explored later in this volume.…”

“…Specifically, S3 literature is almost entirely devoid of mention of innovation intermediaries, seen by many innovation systems' analysts as key vehicles to deliver "institutionalized learning", which is at the very core of RIS conceptualization (Cooke, Gomez Uranga, & Etxebarria, 1997). Moreover, innovation intermediaries are currently the subject of extensive analysis and debates in the broader economic development literature (Katzy, Turgut, Holzmann, & Sailer, 2013;Nilsson & Sia-Ljungström, 2013;Kivimaa, 2014;Kokshagina, Le Masson, Kazakci, & Bories, 2015;Mgumia, Mattee, & Kundi, 2015;Kerry & Danson, 2016;Lukkarinen et al, 2018;Vidmar, 2018). Hence, a critical gap has emerged in understanding how innovation intermediaries are deployed to support S3 policy.…”

Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) has become a dominant regional economic development field with significant policy traction, in particular within the European Union. However, questions are being raised about its operationalization and a gap has been identified with respect to the role of innovation intermediaries' interventions in support of the developing regional-sectoral innovation systems. In particular, reasons for diverging policy approaches of "niche specialization" versus "regional advantage" in comparable situations should be examined to illuminate the contextual factors impacting the interpretation of the intermediaries' mandates. In this paper, the cases of two leading investments in innovation intermediation in the emerging New Space sector are analyzed (Space-SI and Higgs Centre for Innovation) in two EU NUTS level 1 regions (Slovenia and Scotland), which were previously peripheral players in this technological domain. In particular, using a novel innovation intermediation interventions' classification, this paper identifies the difference between research and development (R&D) and business development (BD) support foci in the two locales, noting some of the contextual factors associated with them and arguing for the long-term balancing of the two approaches.
