1. The abstract needs to be improved. Currently the abstract looks incomplete and does not give the proper focus of the research. . Abstract should be structured with a focus on the main concerns and general justification for the work; subject of study and main factors affecting it; methods and procedures; main results; and general conclusion.The authors should read some good papers of the journal and re write it.

• Implications to theory and practice should be clearly stated;

• Limitations of this research;
10. The selection of the case location should be more elaborated.
11. Proofread the whole manuscript as many typos and grammar errors are present.

Reviewer 2 Report
Title:
Digital Transformation Drives Sustainable Innovation Capability Improvement in Manufacturing Companies: Based on FsQCA and NCA Approaches.
Comments:
1. The authors have added many quantitative statistics for the aformentioned approaches. It is recommend to add a graphical comparison as well. (i.e. curves and figures)
2. The paper novelty is low. The authors are advised to highlight the main contribution in the introduction.
3 Why you put a new information after "Conclusion" ? (i.e. Section6: Theoretical contributions)
If you wish, you can add appendix. But, keep all investegations before the "Conclusion" section.
