Abstract: China has entered a new stage of development. One of the important tasks in this stage is to encourage all the people to work together to create a better life and gradually achieve common prosperity for all. Observing practical activities, it is found that the rising user entrepreneurship is an important practical activity to give full play to the collective wisdom of ordinary people, implement the strategy of innovation-driven development, and promote the realization of common prosperity. However, the phenomenon of user innovation is common, but translated into user entrepreneurship is really rare. One possible reason is that users are limited by their own resource endowment and usually don't have the ability to effectively develop resources, so they are often stopped at the innovation stage and cannot realize the evolution from user innovation to user entrepreneurship. In this context, how to effectively acquire, accumulate and develop entrepreneurial resources and cultivate their own resources development ability has become an urgent problem to be solved in theoretical research and practice. However, the existing researches still pay insufficient attention to the user as the entrepreneurial subject, and the researches on how the user generates the resource development ability are even less. Therefore, it is necessary to reveal the generation of resource exploitation ability in the process of user entrepreneurship, so as to provide theoretical inspiration and practical guidance for the transformation from user innovation to user entrepreneurship. Based on the research perspective of resource orchestration, this paper takes three user start-ups as the research object and adopts the exploratory multi-case study method to construct the theoretical analysis framework of user entrepreneurial resource development ability. Firstly, the generation stage of users' entrepreneurial resource development ability is identified, and the characteristics of resource development ability in different stages are clarified. Secondly, the pre-driving factors and resource development activities in different stages of entrepreneurship are identified. On this basis, the generation logic of users' entrepreneurial resource development ability is systematically sorted out. The results show that the generation of users' entrepreneurial resource development ability follows the logical mechanism of "innovation-driven - resource orchestration - capability generation". The research also shows that user innovation, resource orchestration activities and capability generation do not have only one round, but show dynamic evolution characteristics. Along with the evolution of the entrepreneurial stage, resource collaboration ability, resource patchwork ability and resource extension ability will be generated successively. On this basis, this paper constructs a theoretical model of the generation of users' entrepreneurial resources development ability, and analyzes the generation and evolution path of users' entrepreneurial resources development ability. The research findings of this paper have certain theoretical contribution and practical significance. In terms of theoretical contribution, the analysis of the generation process of users' entrepreneurial resource development ability in this paper effectively reveals the transformation process of user innovation to user entrepreneurship, and enriches relevant researches on user entrepreneurship. In addition, this paper identifies the dynamic stage evolution characteristics of users' entrepreneurial resource development ability, which provides insight and inspiration for the subsequent analysis of entrepreneurial ability from the perspective of resource development. Finally, this paper reveals the driving role of user innovation in the process of user entrepreneurial resource development ability, expands the understanding of the relationship between user innovation and user entrepreneurship, and contributes to the theoretical research on innovation-driven entrepreneurship. In terms of practical significance, firstly, users should fully tap their own resources, and be good at putting forward new problems and generating new ideas from practical life. Secondly, users should attach importance to the construction of their own relationship network, improve the ability to obtain resources and cooperate to develop resources, and carry out innovative and entrepreneurial activities with collective cooperative thinking. Finally, users should keep pace with the times and change with the trend, improve the ability to extend the utilization of resources, and maximize the value of resources.
