Against the backdrop of the global economic transition to sustainable energy, the new energy automobile industry is rapidly emerging as a key area of government support in various countries. Based on complexity theory and focusing on listed companies in China's new energy vehicle industry, this paper employs dynamic Qualitative Comparative Analysis to examine the complex causal combinations and asymmetric relationships between companies' implemented political strategies, social responsibility strategies, media strategies, and other non-market strategies, as well as marketing strategies, R&D strategies, financial strategies, and other market strategies with government subsidies. The research findings not only broaden the complexity perspective of government subsidy research from a theoretical standpoint but also provide a basis for the government to optimize subsidy policies and improve resource allocation efficiency. They reveal the impact of different strategic combinations on government subsidies, offering theoretical guidance and practical reference for enterprises to formulate effective strategies.
