Abstract

Utilizing data from China’s A-share listed companies spanning the period 2010–2023, this study empirically investigates the mechanism through which corporate agile responsiveness influences investor confidence. The findings reveal that enhanced corporate agile responsiveness exerts a significant promotive effect on investor confidence. This impact is primarily mediated through the channel of product differentiation strategy. Furthermore, improved corporate governance amplifies the positive effect of agile responsiveness on investor confidence. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that this promotive effect is more pronounced among firms with higher corporate reputation and those facing lower financing constraints.
