Abstract
Purpose
High-tech enterprises, as the national innovation powerhouses, have garnered considerable interest, particularly regarding their technological innovation capabilities. Nevertheless, prevalent research tends to spotlight the impact of individual factors on innovative behavior, with only a fraction adopting a comprehensive viewpoint, scrutinizing the causal amalgamations of precursor conditions influencing the overall innovation proficiency of high-tech enterprises.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper employs a hybrid approach integrating necessary condition analysis (NCA) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to examine the combinatorial effects of antecedent factors on high-tech enterprises' innovation output. Our analysis draws upon data from 46 listed Chinese high-tech enterprises. To promote technological innovation within high-tech enterprises, we introduce a novel perspective that emphasizes technological innovation networks, grounded in a network agents-structure-environment framework. These antecedents are government subsidy, tax benefits, customer concentration, purchase concentration rate, market-oriented index and innovation environment.
Findings
The findings delineate four configurational pathways leading to high innovative output and three pathways resulting in low production.
Originality/value
This study thereby enriches the body of knowledge around technological innovation and provides actionable policy recommendations.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to reduce the weight of the door, improve the operating efficiency and ensure the safety of vehicle operation.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on traditional aluminium alloy doors, a new type of honeycomb composite material was developed. Tests were conducted to determine the honeycomb compression resistance, honeycomb and skin shear performance, plate bending, thermal conductivity and environmental protection. Eight doors were developed based on the full-side open structure, and static strength and stiffness analyses were performed simultaneously. To solve door vibration problems, modal analysis and test were carried out.
Findings
The test results showed that the weight of the door was reduced by more than 40% whilst ensuring the strength and stiffness of the vehicle. The first–sixth-order test mode of the door was increased by more than 14% compared with existing aluminium alloy doors.
Originality/value
A new type of honeycomb composite material was used in this study. The test results showed that the weight of the door was reduced by more than 40% whilst ensuring the strength and stiffness of the vehicle. The 1st-to-6th order test mode of the door was increased by more than 14% compared with the existing aluminium alloy door.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to give a comparison between different type of baffles for a better application. Computational analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow through plain, flower and perforated baffles for heat exchanger.
Design/methodology/approach
Numerical simulations for heat exchangers with plain, flower and perforated baffles are carried out with finite volume method. The thermal-hydraulic performance for the three types is presented in the same conditions.
Findings
The perforated baffles generate low shell pressure with high Nusselt number; transverse baffles give the best heat transfer with high pumping power. The overall performance coefficient of these three types of heat exchangers shows that the perforated baffles have a highest and the transverse baffles have the lowest. Analysis of the results show that perforated transverse baffles produce pressure drop lower by 6.68% than transverse baffles and 2.64% lower than flower baffles. The pumping power for perforated transverse baffles lower by 13.3% to the transverse baffles and 4.72% lower than that of flower baffles. The Nusselt number for perforated baffles higher by 4.16% to the flower baffles and 2.77% with transverse baffles. The overall performance factor in the heat exchanger with perforated baffles higher by 5.55% to that with transverse baffles and 3.46% with flower baffles. Recirculation areas are reduced in shell with perforated baffles and velocity distribution becomes more uniform.
Originality/value
Using of perforated baffles in heat exchanger give the best overall performance factor.
