Abstract

Manufacturing industry, as the foundation of the national economy, is considered to play a crucial role in a country's social and economic development. The CEO is the soul of the enterprise and is crucial to improving enterprise innovation and thereby enhancing its core competitiveness. The ability of the manufacturing industry to innovate is a matter of concern to high-quality economic development and the overall strategy to rejuvenate the Chinese nation. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of CEO demographic characteristics on enterprise innovation in the manufacturing industry. At present, there is a lot of research on the demographic characteristics of CEOs and enterprise innovation in academic circles, but the results of the research are mostly inconsistent, and the characteristics of the research are one-sided. Therefore, this study seeks to comprehensively study the impact of CEO demographic characteristics on enterprise innovation. To understand this issue more deeply, this study further divides CEO demographic characteristics into three different characteristics, namely CEO gender, CEO age and CEO education, to explore whether different characteristics have different impacts on enterprise innovation
