Abstract

This study examines how entrepreneurial capabilities and organizational resilience drive strategic change in high-tech enterprises within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Using a quantitative approach, data from 316 respondents were analyzed to explore the direct and indirect effects of entrepreneurial capabilities and organizational resilience on strategic change, with a focus on the mediating role of creative effect. The results reveal that both entrepreneurial capabilities and organizational resilience significantly influence strategic change, while creative effect serves as a key mediator, enhancing the impact of the former two variables. These findings offer valuable insights into the mechanisms that enable organizations to adapt to technological disruptions and market changes. The study underscores the importance of fostering entrepreneurial leadership, building organizational resilience, and promoting creativity to successfully implement strategic change in high-tech enterprises. This research provides practical implications for business leaders and policymakers in the GBA, highlighting strategies for improving organizational adaptability and innovation.
