This study through the WOS database of SSCI, SCI-E journal library of 1062 English literature review and scientific knowledge map analysis, thus defined the connotation of enterprise persistent innovation and measurement, exploration, and the enterprise persistent innovation research knowledge base and research hotspot and reveals the development of enterprise persistent innovation research. On this basis, the integrated analysis framework of the formation mechanism and effect of enterprise persistent innovation is constructed. The study found that the enterprise persistent innovation is a dynamic and lasting process and ability, involving the accumulation, destruction, and reorganization of innovation, which can be measured from the two aspects of innovation results and process. The knowledge base of enterprise persistent innovation involves fields such as economics, management science, and policy science, and research trends have gone through three stages of development. Factors affecting enterprise persistent innovation include technology, organization, individual, and environment. The integration of enterprise capabilities and resources is an important intermediary in the process of persistent innovation and enterprise strategic management, and the external environment plays a regulatory role in the process of persistent innovation. Enterprise persistent innovation also has a positive impact on economic performance and social development. Finally, this study summarizes the shortcomings of existing studies and presents future research perspectives. This paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to navigate the complex terrain of enterprise persistent innovation in an ever-changing business landscape.
