The Driving Factors of Innovation Quality of Agricultural Enterprises—A Study Based on NCA and fsQCA Methods
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I appreciate the opportunity to review this article, which brings a current topic and innovates in the way of evaluating variables and results. The literature review presents a sufficient number of articles and authors consulted, but the theoretical models (TOE Theoretical Framework, dynamic capabilities and High-order echelon theory) could be more detailed and in-depth in order to create hypotheses to assist in the analysis of data from the research and answer the research question and objective. As for the methodology, there was a lack of greater detail between the models and the data and I missed the discussion of the results obtained. The conclusion should be reviewed and further analysis of the data.

Reviewer 2 Report
in line 118 Based on the analytical arguments...the analysis has not been carried out and the discussion has concluded in the introduction.
after the construction of the model there needs to be a hypothesis statement
After selecting the sample, it is necessary to describe the data analysis technique
hypothetical answers need to be described in the results

Reviewer 3 Report
Dear Author(s),
Thank you for the opportunity to review your manuscript titled "A Study on the Influencing Factors of Innovation Quality of Agricultural Product Processing Enterprises Based on NCA and fsQCA Methods — A Study from Cities in Liaoning Province."
Title
I think you should change/simplify your title. Make sure it captures the essence of your study without including too many concepts. Think about how it would look on google scholar or other search engines.
Abstract
I would strongly suggest streamlining your abstract. It is hard to follow at times. There is too much information, and you need to focus on the most important aspects.
Examining the innovation quality of agricultural enterprises is certainly an important and pertinent topic. Your introduction and background sections certainly contain a fair share of past and existing research. However, you need to provide a more explanation of the gap you are addressing. Why is the Liaoning province such an important case? I am not saying it is not, but you should provide a more thorough justification. You might also want to talk a bit more about technology. What is the role of technology adoption in sustainable agrobusinesses? There is an intrinsic connection between technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship and you should discuss this in more detail. Secondly, you might want to include some perspectives on sustainable business models and how they connect to the issues you are examining. See references below:
