Abstract
This study aims to expand the research perspective from the micro-enterprise level to the regional environment level to identify changes in the regional industrial Internet environment. The development and application of Industrial Internet technologies formed by these changes have spillover effects on Industrial Internet innovation. Sample data from 30 provinces and big cities of China from 2006 to 2018 were used to verify the network externality characteristics of industrial Internet development. The nonlinear impact of environmental factors, such as the proportion of Internet users and intellectual property protection on the open green innovation of manufacturing enterprises, was investigated through the panel threshold model. Meanwhile, the development level of the industrial Internet in eastern and western China is compared and analyzed. This study contributes to existing knowledge and guides practitioners to help manufacturing organizations develop industrial Internet environments.
