AI-POWERED ANALYSIS
Research on the Relationship Between Female Executives, AI, and Corporate Breakthrough Innovation Based on Python Text Analysis
Exploring the factors influencing breakthrough innovation and finding ways to drive it is a problem that enterprises need to solve. This study constructs an Al lexicon using machine learning techniques, conducts text mining on the 2014-2023 annual reports of Chinese listed companies through Python-based text analysis, and builds regression models using Stata. It empirically examines the negative impact of female executives on corporate breakthrough innovation and the moderating role of AI technology in this relationship. By introducing machine learning-based text analysis into the research field of executive gender and corporate innovation for the first time, this study not only provides micro-level empirical evidence for AI technology enabling strategic decision-making in enterprises but also offers new managerial implications for optimizing executive team structures and promoting breakthrough innovation.
Executive Impact Overview
Deep Analysis & Enterprise Applications
Select a topic to dive deeper, then explore the specific findings from the research, rebuilt as interactive, enterprise-focused modules.
H1: Negative Impact
Female senior executives are found to have a negative impact on breakthrough innovation. This is attributed to women's tendency to be more cautious and less overconfident due to physiological characteristics, heightened scrutiny, and a desire to avoid reinforcing stereotypes about weaker leadership capabilities. Given the high uncertainty and risk of breakthrough innovation, this leads to a more conservative stance.
H2: AI's Mitigating Role
Artificial intelligence effectively mitigates the negative impact of female executives on breakthrough innovation. AI reduces innovation decision-making uncertainty by acting as a powerful monitoring tool, alleviating information asymmetry, and assisting in optimizing business decisions. It also expands executive cognitive boundaries by breaking down information barriers, enhancing cognitive resources, and helping identify strategic value.
Python Text Analysis & ML
This study constructed an AI lexicon using machine learning techniques (Word2vec Skip-gram model) and conducted text mining on 2014-2023 annual reports of Chinese listed companies via Python. This enabled the quantification of AI technology application and provided a novel approach to studying executive gender and corporate innovation.

Haier Group's AI-Driven Innovation
Haier Group exemplifies AI-driven breakthrough innovation. To advance its smart home sector, Haier implemented an AI decision-support system. This system analyzes over 100,000 global user feedback datasets, building a knowledge graph of consumer needs. This precise identification of market gaps enabled female executives to overcome traditional conservative decision-making and endorse a RMB 300 million investment in R&D, leading to the launch of the '5G IoT Smart Home' system and a 180% increase in related invention patent applications over three years. This demonstrates AI's power in enabling strategic decision-making and fostering breakthrough innovation, even in the presence of traditionally risk-averse leadership.
- AI enables precise market gap identification.
- Overcomes executive risk aversion.
- Drives significant R&D investment and patent growth.
