    Abstract: Intelligent manufacturing provides a direction for manufacturing enterprises to gaincompetitive advantage in the era of digital economy. Meanwhile, innovation becomes animportant way for manufacturing enterprises to promote digital and intelligent transformation andthen achieve high-quality development. However, in the extant management research onintelligent manufacturing and digital transformation, scholars mostly focus on macro-level topics, such as technology composition and business pattern, but seldom pay attention to the stimulationof innovation from the perspective of internal social relationship network. Accordingly, we aimtoconstruct a new mentoring theory based on the context of intelligent manufacturing, whichprovides a new point for enterprises to stimulate team dual innovation from a micro perspective. Based on the team multi-process model, we explored the plausible mechanismthat links mentoring in intelligent manufacturing to team incremental and radical innovation. Moreover, we discuss the possible boundary conditions of team dual innovation stimulation process in intelligent manufacturing based on the interpersonal process and the human-intelligent process respectively. Our research will not only provide theoretical guidance for human resource development andmanagement in intelligent manufacturing, but also enrich the understanding of the innovationdriving mechanism from the micro level.
